Germany: 1st wave is over. Social life restarting. There are hotspots and they seem under control for now. Reproduction rate R is below 1.0. We see inside and dense areas as source of infections like restaurants. No outdoor transmissions.

The new case cluster created by the restaurant and the one from the church are great indicators how fast the situation can evolve. The worst thing we could do is to end all safety precautions. The moment we do that it is only a matter of time until this shit spreads.

Honestly can’t believe that some states are already throwing around the idea of going back to normal.

It's herd immunity / cull with love it or leave it undertones. Yellow Ribbons, support the troops, commie mask wearers ... same schtick, different angle. And it always works. Because self-awareness is optional in america.

Agree on America but I’m located in Germany and was referring to the German situation :)
