They did everything wrong. As in we did everything wrong. So we’re warning us not to ever do it again.
A Look at the Worst Mistakes Germany Made in the Coronavirus Pandemic – From the tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, to neglected children and a helpless vaccination campaign, German politicians deserve poor marks in many aspects of the coronavirus pandemic. Experts look back at the worst mistakes made and offer advice for the autumn.
“The ‘constituency’ of the expert is those who have a vested interest in commonly held opinions; elaborating and defining its consensus at a high level has, after all, made him an expert.”
I know. This comparison has never been tried before. That’s what makes it so, I dunno, sophisticated or something. Yawn.
German Anti-Vaxxers Are Fleeing to Paraguay Just Like Nazis Did 70 Years Ago – A failed Aryan colony, runaway Nazis, and loose coronavirus regulations have led to a flood of European anti-vaxxers arriving in the South American nation.
Berlin, Other German States Offer COVID-19 Vaccine to 5-11s – Health officials in Germany say children from 5 to 11 years old will be eligible to begin receiving COVID-19 vaccine doses this week in Berlin.
Prompts an outcry from German politicians. When the rabble starts threatening those in power directly, they get nervous. And suddenly, they’re all on the same sheet of music. Sound vaguely familiar?
Germany: Torchlit rally against COVID measures prompts outcry – Lawmakers have condemned torch-bearing protesters who gathered outside the home of Saxony’s health minister. A far-right group protesting the latest COVID measures has claimed responsibility for the incident.
Germany locks unvaccinated out of public life; mandate looms – Unvaccinated people across Germany will soon be excluded from nonessential stores, restaurants and sports and cultural venues, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced Thursday, and parliament will consider a general vaccine mandate as part of efforts to curb coronavirus infections.
Merkel announced the measures after a meeting with federal and state leaders, as the nation again topped 70,000 newly confirmed cases in a 24-hour period. She said the steps were necessary to address concerns that hospitals could become overloaded with patients suffering from COVID-19 infections, which are much more likely to be serious in people who have not been vaccinated.
But the Germans just can’t wait to make it happen.
Germany imposes curbs on unvaccinated, to make shots mandatory – Germany on Thursday imposed restrictions on the unvaccinated as it sought to break a dramatic surge in daily coronavirus infections exacerbated by the discovery of the Omicron strain.
Outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel and her successor Olaf Scholz agreed with leaders of Germany’s 16 states to bar the unvaccinated from access to all but the most essential businesses such as grocery stores, pharmacies and bakeries.
Because, well, after all… People with the Omicron variant have ‘extremely mild‘ symptoms and haven’t had to be hospitalized yet, says the South African doctor who first reported it.
That can only mean that they died before ever making it to the hospital, right?
Several leading German politicians called on Sunday for tighter restrictions to contain a surge in coronavirus cases as the infection rate hit a new high and fears about the new Omicron variant rose.
That means “unusual, but mild.” You know, like the symptoms of those infected with the latest Covid Omicron variant?
How did the Media Brain Police let this one slip through? Where’s the hysterical spin?
Omicron patients in South Africa are not in mortal danger so far – Body aches, extreme fatigue: these are the mild symptoms – so far known – of South African Omikron infected patients. Cases of the new virus mutant are also increasing in Europe.
And you call yourselves serious news people over there at Der Spiegel? That’s just not enough. Where’s the beef? How are you going to get your customers to panic with that?
“It’s about fairness.” And while we’re at it: War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
Germany’s new COVID rules, explained – New rules are coming into force as Germany continues its battle against the coronavirus. Infection rates remain stable and many are ready to reopen — but 3 million remain unvaccinated, and health experts are still wary.
As of Monday, the cost of rapid antigen tests is no longer covered by the state… Starting November 1, unvaccinated people will not receive compensation for lost pay if coronavirus measures force them to quarantine…
It couldn’t have been the German government and its COVID-19 cluelessness, arbitrary measures that changed practically on a weekly basis or the thinly-veiled threats against those in Germany who refuse to get vaccinated, right?
German official slams online ‘incitement’ after mask killing – A 49-year-old German man was arrested Sunday over the the fatal shooting a day earlier in the western town of Idar-Oberstein. Authorities said the suspect told officers he rejected the measures against the coronavirus.”
“It was a cold-blooded murder,” Health Minister Jens Spahn told reporters in Berlin, noting that the suspect had initially gone home after being refused service for failing to wear a mask, only to return later and shoot the clerk in the head.
“The question is, what is the environment, what are the circumstances in which such a crime can occur?” he asked. “This has a lot to do with the incitement, the hatred, that is posted on social media.”
