German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday announced an intensified coronavirus lockdown going into Easter, warning that new mutations raised the specter of a potentially deadly "third wave" of COVID-19 as Europe struggles in its vaccination campaign.
Speaking early Tuesday, Merkel said restrictions would be extended until April 18. She called on citizens to stay home and for shops to close for five days over the Easter holiday.
"We are now basically in a new pandemic. The British mutation has become dominant," Merkel said after late-night videoconference sessions with leaders of Germany's 16 states.
"Fundamentally, we face a new virus of the same kind but with very different characteristics," she said. "More deadly, more infectious, and infectious for longer."

50 more weeks to flatten the curve.

Meet the new pandemic, same as the old pandemic.
Will this ever end? Will life get back to normal ever?
There will always be variants of virus out there, won’t there? Is shutting down society really the best way to deal with a virus?
I thought it was either the South African mutation or the one from Detroit.
LOL!
Thank you.
HTML is not my friend. :)
Don’t mention the war.
Only cause that pic scared me.
They just make stuff up.
I don’t think it will ever end.
Basically in a new pogrom against Christianity.
Second Easter.
By next year people will have forgotten what Easter could and should be.
“More deadly,” says Frau Merkel.
Why don’t I believe her?
Is shutting down society really the best way to deal with a virus?
Of course not. But we hire people to run our country based on who has the best method of cheating and lying their way in.
The strain from upper Brooklyn is also massively contagious.
Frau murkel reliving the good old days behind the wall. Ahhhhhh!
The EU zone had no equivalent to President Trump’s Operation Warp Speed. This includes no pre-ordering of 100s of millions doses of vaccines while they were still under development.
Now they’re living, and dying, with the fallout of this poor planning. They simply don’t have the necessary supply of doses to vaccinate at anywhere near the speed that we’re doing here in the USA.
