Five German News Stories

 1.  Focus had a piece talking about the trend now of colds, flu and Corona....suggesting that around 5-million Germans have something going on, and most aren't being tested for Covid.  

Frankly, if you did bring up Covid with folks.....just no interest in going back into quarantine mode or shutting down bars/theaters.

2.  Remember that E-car fire in Frankfurt story I told back two days ago?  Well....it turns out that some anti-E-car environmental group set the fire (so they claim).  Cops are on this, but it begs the question....if they are anti-E-car....what exactly do they want you riding to work?  A bicycle or horse?

3.  Some German Instagram 'influencer' (new trend in society) tried to live as a low-income pension person.  By the 4th day.....she ended the experiment....declaring that it was impossible.  

4.  Brandenburg's state election is 12 months away.  New political poll suggests that the AfD will probably win in the state.

5.  Aiwanger-scandal in Bavaria has reached a new trend.....Aiwanger, himself, is saying that the regional newspaper....Suddeusche Zeitung....is a propaganda tool for certain parties.  

Whether true or not....it'll trigger some Bavarians to cancel-out the newspaper, and lessen readership.
