BERLIN - Chancellor Angela Merkel told Germans to expect a difficult winter as the number of newly reported coronavirus cases in the country hit a new high.
Merkel spoke Thursday in Parliament a day after she and the governors of Germanys 16 states agreed upon far-reaching restrictions to curb the spread of the virus, including the closure of bars and restaurants, limits on social contacts and bans on concerts and other public events.
Merkel told lawmakers that Germany is in a dramatic situation as it goes into winter, which she said would be four long, difficult months. But it will end.
The long-time German leader said authorities had no choice but to drastically reduce social contacts as three-quarters of infections in Germany now cant be traced be traced anymore.
If we wait until the ICUs are full, then it will be too late, she said.
Merkel said democratic debate about the virus restrictions was important, but blasted some critics who have claimed the German government is exaggerating the threat of the virus.
Lies and disinformation, conspiracies and hatred damage not just the debate but also the battle against the virus, she said. Its not just democratic debate that depends on our relationship to facts and information, human lives depend on it.

Merkel leads the Euro Never Trumpers. Between now and Our Election on Tuesday, France and others will follow her lead, to scare investors around the World and American voters.
Yes, highly coincidental that all the covid crises around the world are reaching fever pitch only days before the US presidential election. Weird.
I wonder if one has to do with the other?
Wintertime for Merkel and Germany.
