Covid infection numbers on the rise in Germany, with B117 making half of infections. Yet, openings supposed to happen after the weekend. Also test kits to be available in supermarkets but waiting for supplies by government to schools etc.

2021-03-14

Germany/EU allows AstraZeneca now for people over the age of 65, Germany to give out appointments for people of the age group 70 plus, which is good.

Numbers on the rise, schools, Kindergartens to open and then close after some days again according to the nifty plan?

Election in two German federal states (BW, RP) turn out with some losses of €DU/€SU as they are often written these days due to "Maskenaffäre" (actually corruption) and "Ehrenerklärung" (formal apology/stating of honesty).

2021-03-15

AstraZeneca just started to be given out this morning for age group 70+, but stopped completely to get more data about possible side effects.

2021-03-18

The B117 variant found to be not only more contagious but also more damaging, deadly. Infection numbers going up, medics demand counter-measures otherwise intensive care units getting over their capacity.

2021-03-19

AstraZeneca back in business. Uni Greifswald even found the reason and a remedy for its issues.

Some more politicians resigning, Bavarian prime minister Söder thus less apt for chancelor, but also Laschet not too popular.

Health minister Spahn in dispute about financing his expensive living?

2021-03-20

Politicians seem to be not couragous enough to establish new restrictions, install a strict lockdown; they seem to wait until it's basically to late, and lockdowns need to be stricter, longer, and more devastating for all, even grand national income. Or do they just not konw? How should they know? They should know. Not just Karl Lauterbach tells them in direct words, well grounded in scientific publications. Do they listen equally to the other crowd of people who are not in this 'know'? »Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.«

2021-03-21

Anti-Corona-demonstrations in Kassel and elsewhere. Some posts on Twitter make the impression that police was unaware of its scale, and forces installed were partly quite pro protestors although hardly any masks were worn. One picture captured a police lady showing heart signs towards the demo crowd, a video shows "left" antiantiprotesters pulled harshly away. A study about last years' protests was mentioned concluding that many new infections and thus deaths arise from such crowded protests that do not adhere to restrictions.

2021-03-23

Weak lockdown prolonged until 18th of April, with last working day before Easter as "quiet day" (what does it mean?) and some other pleas and appeals. Projections of Covid infections in the 500 to 2000 ballpark range.

2021-03-28

2021-Q2

2021-04-13

So new version of German infection law. Case numbers.

Curfew, in summer!

Scientists stress the aerosol issues indoors vs outdoors.

2021-Q3

2021-07-27

Towards a "Winterwelle". What's the meaning of the numbers with 50% vaccinated? Can we go higher with the same risk – or maybe lower as it is only a part of population that creates the figures that high?

2021-Q4

2021-09-29

Prof. Drosten warns of rising case numbers ("exponential") starting mid of October, especially in the eastern part of Germany where vaccination rate is low.

2021-10-04

Germany allows a "borchester shot".

2021-10-30

Numbers on the rise, déjà-vu of like last fall. Third shot basically allowed for anyone after six months of last shot. I'd wish my parents could get their booster sooner, but well, still just in time for visiting around xmas, I guess.
