Germany’s lockdown-loving health minister has reportedly agreed with authorities a package of COVID extremist restrictions to be forced on the population over the next six months.
Forced masking and the use of COVID passes are back on the table for ordinary Germans after the country’s lockdown-loving health minister, Karl Lauterbach, agreed a host of new COVID-crazy measures with his fellow federal bigwigs.
Rumours had been circulating for a while that the EU state would bring back harsh measures over the winter month, with Lauterbach previously comparing possible restrictions to winter tires required in the country for half of the year.

Keeps them locked in their cold houses this winter and off the streets protesting.
As a kid, I read that book well before the film came out. Olivier absolutely nailed it!
I still try to wrap my head around that this was the same guy that narrated “The World At War”.
Germany is losing 200 Covid dead per day right now. Their case peak is a week or so ago so death count should decline. 200 is about 1/2 their levels of this past winter. Their count is rising, but if cases decline, so will deaths.
They are well vaxed and it won’t matter. If they mandate masks that will make zero sense unless they are N95 masks. No one doubts N95 reduces virus density, but nobody, no country, mandated N95 — and that gave rise to all the complaining and criticism. Well founded criticism. If only N95s were mandated, all the studies finding “virus is not stopped by masks” would never have happened.
Italy is in the middle of a summer death surge too. Proportional to Germany with population adjustment. But they look post peak, slightly.
We will know more come fall. The US numbers are quietly ugly. 500 Covid deaths per day (of, not with, that stuff all is in the past) is the current level and that’s up 100-150 from a month or two ago. Definite rise but absolutely not sharp. This is not a Fall / Winter 2021 event, but if such an event unfolds, it will start its rise from a higher-than-2021 level.
Germany imposing restrictions . . . if they grow from this level they will face the problem — do nothing and risk being a murderer, or do something and have to QE the fix to the economic damange.

Try and wear an N95 all day. Especially in a hot climate. You will suffocate before having to worry about the “big cold”
You vill haff a gut time at ze masochist festival, und you vill enchoy it, vedder you like it or not!
Fool me once...
Be a patriot - slap a masker and boil those who force the rest of us to mask in hot oil.
Anyone who calls for masking for this increasingly weak virus deserves a club in their head. Hard.
German chimney sweeps are going to make an absolute KILLING this year!
F@cking cowards....your forefathers took on tenfold numbers of enemies in Russia
German fascists asking:
“Is it safe?”

Au contraire...
...The N95 filtering face piece respirators may not provide the expected protection level against small virions...
The dude looks British, not German!
Also from the above link...
“It should be noted that the surgical masks are primarily designed to protect the environment from the wearer, whereas the respirators are supposed to protect the wearer from the environment.”
WEF raved about how well Germany handled covid. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/05/how-germany-contained-the-coronavirus/
He looks like a MonkeyPox candidate.
