in the meantime, no more nice ms Merkel, ala no time to do it right always time to do it over, or
depending on the science, doing more of what doesn't matter
the truth might become clearer during 2021
right now still pea soup
given the political machinations rather than triumph of logic
(1) If the CoVid is tamer than the common flu, or at least no worse, then why the fuss w/ the vaccination development and programming
(2) If the CoVid is worse, then why not hard-lockdown at the get-go or now
IOW, what do 'they' not-know? or do not want to tell us?
Is it because 'they' do not want to panic us, or that 'they' want to make money from us whilst improving control over us?

Germany to go into national lockdown over Christmas to stem surge in Covid-19 cases
Berlin (CNN) — Germany will go into a "hard" national lockdown, starting next week and continuing through the Christmas period, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday, after agreeing to stricter measures with state governments to stem a wave of coronavirus cases.
As of next Wednesday, all non-essential shops, services and schools will close until January 10, and Christmas Day gatherings will be reduced from 10 people to only five from two different households.
This week, Merkel made an impassioned plea for Germans to limit their social contacts ahead of the holidays: despite the country's respected health system and early success in containing the virus, a recent partial lockdown has failed to stop the second-wave surge. Germany reported record daily deaths on Friday, with 598 fatalities tallied in a span of 24 hours.
The new measures take aim at traditional festivities: Christmas church services will be subject to prior registration with no singing allowed, alcohol is to be banned from all public spaces and an annual New Year's Eve fireworks display will be canceled. Some states are also implementing additional measures, such as Bavaria, which will have a 9 p.m. curfew.
