    New 1 Day Covid Tests for Returning to USA

    This just in. Now it no longer matters if one is vaccinated or non vaccinated to return to the USA. All must get the One Calendar Day Covid test (schnelltest is ok).

    CDC website recently changed to read:

    What You Need to Know.

    If you plan to travel internationally, you will need to get a COVID-19 viral test (regardless of vaccination status or citizenship) no more than 1 day before you travel by air into the United States. You must show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight.

    If you recently recovered from COVID-19, you may instead travel with documentation of recovery from COVID-19 (I. E, your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight's departure from a foreign country and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel).

    It seems that would rule out Sharks in Darmstadt since they currently sitting above 300 incidence.

    Good news is that the release says that incidence is going down nationally over the last 3 days. I just don't like how they're still using incidence and not hospital metrics. Omicron has shown to be more transmissible but less virulent so it would be easy for numbers to go up with hospital loads not rising as much.
    Can someone post a link to the incidence page so each city can be looked up to see what level it is at?

    Was listening to a German virologist on DW answering this question incidence vs. Occupancy. He said hospital index is considered acceptable until hospitals start transferring patients. Then if it's like Armageddon and triage kicks the patients out on the streets, the hospital index can no longer be calculated. A side issue is hospital underreporting due to a weak reporting technology, like using outdated fax transmission instead of uniform data streaming or upload etc. As the government must foresee the worst, they are switching to the incidence before occupancy index becomes too problematic.

    Every sane person who has entertained this now cliche idea eventually came to the conclusion, "If I go down this thought path, what would be the end result?" Most would quickly find that in the end, it is a fruitless thought process leading to a situation in which he has no power to change anything. It would not be worth another second of thought to be wasted.

    Then there are others who might have some delusion that he's Neo who is going to break the Matrix.

    Most pertinent to this forum:

    Nightclub closure at 350 cases per 100 K weekly.

    All under 2 G rules.

    For now that means:

    Currently Under:

    Darmstadt: Sharks.

    Giessen: World.

    Bad Homberg: Oase.

    Dusseldorf: Oceans, GT Oceans, others..

    I actually think Germany could have invaded Britain with the right tactics and enough submarines to pave the way. But they wanted too much money on useless battleships etc, and didn't focus their efforts well enough.

    Also previous post just assuming they're classifying clubs as "nightclubs. " It says nothing about bars or if they even make that distinction.

    But the nuclear question still has to considered, and Germany messed up on that account. Germany could have easily beaten USA to developing the bomb. But the fools in Germany attacked Norway, so its karma:

    Hitler's decision to fight a 2 front war was the main reason for its defeat in World War 2.
    There was one critical way in which Germany was not superior to Britain, and that would be in naval might. To defeat Britain, the Nazis would have had to invade across the English Channel. That's when the Royal Navy would have showed up and wiped them out. So much for that noise!

    My main point is that Hitler did not have the luxury to postpone the invasion of USSR. And the second paragraph of this expert's quote details exactly why: Germany and Japan lacked the production capacity and population to beat USA and USSR in a long war. Essentially, Germany and Japan's only chance was to land a sucker punch and force a surrender early, before their economically and numerically superior foes had a chance to ramp up for war. The German blitzkrieg into USSR was so fast, that on the first day of Operation Barbosa, they were able to obliterate 40 percent of the Red Army's bomber aircraft on the ground before they were even able to take off. Japan tried to follow a similar blueprint with the Pearl Harbor attack. Their objective was to destroy the Pacific fleet but they missed their targets.

    Attached image shows how many tanks USSR and USA produced, once they committed to the effort in 1941. The Allies easily out-produced the Axis. The Axis powers' "sneak attacks" were to incapacitate the enemy, then quickly achieve victory before the enemy could replace their fleet or bomber force.

    Moving 3 million troops and tanks to the Eastern Front is doable. Moving that force across the English Channel to launch an offensive? Suicide.

    Moreover, Stalin was sitting back watching the Western powers destroy themselves, before entering the fray. He likely would have invaded Germany if not in 1942 then probably 1943-1944.

    At least the mask requirement and the rapid test prior to entry will be useful. However the rest of the 2 G (recovery and vaccine) will not stop the Omicron which has shown to infect double vaxed people already. In fact the cases in the USA all occurred among double vaccinated people.
