Germany: Back to work from home
Times Malta ^ | 11/14/21

Germany is preparing a return to working from home under draft legislation seen by AFP on Sunday, as the country tries to tackle an unprecedented wave of coronavirus cases.

The reintroduction of the rule, which was lifted at the beginning of July, comes as Germany faces a growing fourth wave of the virus.

Infections and deaths have been climbing steeply since mid-October, in an outbreak blamed on Germany's vaccination rate of just over 67% - still leaving a large share of people more vulnerable to infection and severe disease.

At 289 cases per 100,000 people, the recorded incidence of the coronavirus reached a new high in Europe's most populous country on Sunday, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) health agency.

"The coming wave will overshadow all the previous waves," Saxony state premier Michael Kretschmer, whose region is currently amongst the worst hit, told German weekly Bild am Sonntag.

Under the draft plan, employers in Germany would be forced to offer the option to work from home in the absence of a "compelling business reason" to come to the office.

Anyone going into work would also be asked to show they were protected against the virus or had tested negative.

The German government is also working up plans to limit access to certain events to those who have both been vaccinated or recovered from a coronavirus infection, and can present a negative test, according to reports in the German media.

The new package of measures is being drafted in close consultation with the parties seeking to form the next German government, the Social Democrats, the Greens and the liberal FDP.

We’ve gone from “15 days to flatten the curve” to “15 years to vaccinate everyone in the world.”

It's beginning to look a lot like Hitler
Ev'rywhere I go
Take a look in the five-and-ten
It's closing down again
With workers unemployed out in the cold!

I think the citizenry is incensed, but under control for many things. The leftist politicians seem brazen.

Take this example of a public meeting with a Mayor of german town. The crowd goes nuts over a suggestion that 10 year old girls take a different route to school since migrants are harrassing them. By the end of the video, they 'move on to the next subject' and the mayor actually survives.

” in an outbreak blamed on Germany’s vaccination rate of just over 67%”

Uh, herd immunity is supposedly right at about this point.

But that’s for real vaccines.

Maybe there’s a problem here?

“Unprecedented wave of “coronavirus cases... Infections and deaths have been climbing steeply since mid-October, in an outbreak blamed on Germany's vaccination rate of just over 67% - still leaving a large share of people more vulnerable to infection and severe disease.“

So, with 67% of the population “vaccinated”, they are experiencing an “ unprecedented” wave of “cases”. “Unprecedented” means it’s worse than any previous “wave”, when there were ZERO people “vaccinated”.

How stupid do you have to be to believe ANY of this crap?
