1. The Health Minister (Lauterbach, SPD Party) of Germany brought up some odd topics yesterday....there are now studies to say the more often you get Covid....the less effective your immune system is, and oddly enough....higher rates of dementia (just one of several problems that were laid out) are expected down the road.
Yeah, it was pretty blunt news and will beg for more studies. Probably going to be a new term invented here (Covidmentia, where around age forty, your university degree is now worthless because you can't think anymore).
2. RWE (the company) is going after the activists at the demonstration site of the past week....saying individual activists themselves....will be taken into court for damages and cost.
This might turn into a fairly complicated and costly affair for the activists.
3. The suggestion that Germany will turn over Leopard tanks to Ukraine? Based on all the chatter at Ramstein's meeting yesterday...I'd give it less than a 30-percent chance of happening.
4. Largest percentage ever, in 2022....volunteering/going into the German Bundeswehr (Army) at age 17. Some folks freaked out at the numbers and saying it's a sign of poverty-growth, and they want a limit on the underage recruits.
I'll just say....that if your apprentice applications aren't getting results at age 15 or 16 (especially up in NW Germany where the problem is apparent)....the signing up for the Army at 17 is the only possible path to take.
5. Some odd chatter has started up in the SPD Party about a cabinet shuffle, and that maybe this 50-50 split on men/women in the leadership positions isn't working as well as they thought it would.
6. Some vegan-butcher shop opened in Dresden, and folks seem all hyped-up about this bold new experiment.

You think healrth insurance will cover Covidmentia? lol Sounds like something Joe Biden is affected with.
German health insurance will cover the medical care provided....with premiums escalating probably harshly by 2030...if this matter is true. However, if you were 45 and identified as such...unable to work, your pension program probably wouldn't pay more than 1,000 Euro a month, and that won't cut it.
The other aspect here...he said more immune issues than dementia...a whole host of other ailments (I'm guessing lung ailments especially), so the question will be out of a thousand Germans....how many will be long-term affected? Dozen? Twenty? Sixty?
I wrapped up episode #2 in August of last year. No lingering effects for me yet.
I am fortunate enough not to have contracted the Covid (yet). I think I can attribute this to playing golf and working outside. That,and, I don't like people much and kinda stay away.
