That means who is guilty, who is responsible?
It started out with not enough Covid vaccines being ordered (Germany left that up to Brussels – big mistake). Now, after proclaiming the efficacy of Covid quick tests to make up for this lack of vaccines, not enough of these were ordered either.
Who is to blame? That’s easy. It’s never Angela Merkel, ever. See the guy up there on the right? That’s her health minister.
Corona-Pandemie – Schnelltest-Chaos spitzt sich zu – Wer ist schuld?
Who cares? You didn’t vote for me. As a matter of fact, nobody did. Other than non-elected officials like me, that is.
You can’t fire me. And I don’t quit. I’m not a quiter. I’m a loser maybe, but I’ll quit when I decide to, thank you.
Germans unhappy with EU’s handling of vaccine scheme – Roughly half of Germans believe the EU has handled the coronavirus vaccine rollout badly, according to an opinion poll. It comes as separate research finds a majority want an end to the country’s lockdown…
The United Kingdom has given at least one jab to 31% of its population, while Germany has so far at least partially vaccinated 7.63% of its population (that actually means more like 3.5, of course), according to figures compiled by Our World In Data.
That is marginally above the EU average of 7.60 people for every 100.
Where everything you think, do, and say, is in the pill you took today…
Germany’s national government and states are set to extend the COVID-19 lockdown by three weeks, to March 28…
According to the draft text, up to five adults from two households would be allowed to gather from March 8, with up to 10 adults allowed in areas with low infection rates. Under current rules, each household can only socialize with one other person.
The German government is also expected to appeal to citizens to avoid domestic and foreign travel over the Easter period.
Current lockdown measures have been credited with helping bring down daily new infection numbers.
However, experts last week warned that the declining infection rate had stabilized and even started climbing slightly, with growing concerns about the spread of new virus variants.
The number of coronavirus cases in Germany went up by 3,943 to 2,451,011, according to figures released early on Monday by the country’s Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases. COVID-linked fatalities went up by 358, to 70,463 in total.
That means, a ban on lingering. Pausing. Sitting on a park bench. Standing still and looking at trees. Stuff like that.
That is now forbidden in German cities like Düsseldorf because Big Brother is from the government and is here to help. To help you not spread the Coronavirus. I’m not making this up, people. If the people from the Ordnungsamt (Office of Order) see you sitting on a bench there admiring the Rhine or something you can and will be fined. Can’t wait for the new immunity passes to come out!
Verweilverbot: Nicht alle halten sich dran.
So much for the infamous German obsession with privacy and data security.
“They’re from the government and they’re here to help us, honey. What could possibly go wrong?”
Most Germans keen on COVID vaccination passport – Around 60% of Germans surveyed for a new poll said they were in favor of immunity passports. Chancellor Angela Merkel has expressed her support, albeit only when most residents have been offered the shot.
“When we have made a vaccination offer to enough people and some of them refuse to be vaccinated, we will have to consider whether there should be openings and access only for vaccinated people in certain areas.”
That means trend reversal. It goes like this: As soon as the numbers of Covid-19 infections clearly begin rising again – and that’s what they’re doing – the head virologist what’s in charge announces this as great news. That is, he spins it as if the numbers are actually dropping.
That’s just how virologists work, I guess. If you ever doubted that nobody knows what the hell is going on with this pandemic here in Germany, doubt no more.
In Schottland habe man gesehen, dass der Impfstoff von AstraZeneca das Hospitalisierungsrisiko dramatisch senke. Die Rate sei um 94 Prozent zurückgegangen. „Das ist fantastisch“, sagte Wieler.
It’s not like you have an option in Germany. They missed the Coronavirus vaccine train long ago.
Oh, and they haven’t organized enough of these self-administered tests yet either but it’s the thought that counts.
Coronavirus: Home tests will give Germany ‘more freedom’ – Health Minister Jens Spahn says antigen tests will allow people to “win back” part of their lives. He warned, however, that the pandemic is not over, imploring people to remain vigilant.
First German politicians attack the vaccine for purely political reasons (Brexit, Britain cannot succeed with out us, etc.)…
Then, once the shortage of vaccines becomes critical due to their own incompetence, the same politicians begin a public relations campaign explaining to citizens how AstraZeneca works quite well after all. We’re from the government and we’re here to help.
More German state workers to get AstraZeneca jab as doses go begging – The German government is reworking its strategy to vaccinate the nation against COVID-19 as its campaign, which has faltered due to a lack of supply, also faces public resistance to the shot from AstraZeneca Plc.
“The vaccine from AstraZeneca is both safe and highly effective.”
COVID numbers in Germany seem to have mutated and are now on the rise again. Thank goodness. They had been dropping for weeks.
Otherwise everybody would have to start earning a living again. I know, let’s compromise. We’ll send all the kids back to school.
Germany’s COVID infections rise again – The increase comes just as schools are scheduled to reopen. The rise has been driven by new, more-infectious variants of the coronavirus.
The Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases reported 7,676 new cases on Sunday, up 1,562 from one week ago. The key seven-day incidence rate increased to 60.2 across the country, up from 57.7 a day earlier.
No need to wonder why. German and EU politicians went out of their way to make the AstraZenica vaccine unpopular.
You know, Brexit and all that? It had to be made unpopular because it came from post-Brexit Britain and demonstrated, once again, how incompetent EU bureaucrats are in matters like this. They have done everything wrong they could possibly do wrong when it comes to COVID vaccines yet still gladly point a schoolmasterly finger at a country that is clearly getting the problem under control.
COVID: AstraZeneca vaccine remains unpopular in Germany – In Germany, everyone who wants a coronavirus vaccine should receive one by September. But this plan will only work if millions of people accept the vaccine produced by AstraZeneca.
Think about it: You are willing to endanger the lives of your own citizens in order to make your “ex” look bad.
