Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

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

Yes I'm never clear what category FKK clubs come under as they aren't nightclubs. I'm also not sure if they would look at incidence rate in Hesse or in say Darmstadt in the case of Sharks.

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.

The Fuhrer made numerous mistakes starting with invading Russia. There was no excuse to violate the initial agreement with Russia.

Also in England, he should have started by sending rifles and ammo and getting the Irish and IRA in Ireland to start a ground war with England wherein the Fuhrer would provide air support coordinating with IRA ground rebels. Then avoid London completely and use incendiary bombs in East England to destroy all their crops to case them to starve. Then drop leaflets to encourage the English subjects to demand their government agree to a truce.

But prior to all of this the Furher should have first rounded up all the Jewish Physicists in Germany. These same Physicists were the ones who escaped to the USA and designed nuclear bomgs for the USA. Then after torturing the Jewish Physicists in Germany and getting on their information, then execute them prior to them being able to escape to the USA. That way the Axis powers would have developed the nuclear bomg and the USA would not have and then the Axis powers could threaten to nuke Washington to extort the USA from entering the war.

Then of course work out some agreement with France to give back their country peacefully in exchange for defending the coastline to prevent the-Day from occurring. Then just be satisfied with 1/2 of Poland and leave the other 1/2 to Russia and that would have been the Axis powers path to victory in WWII.

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).

That's the national policy. But each state can add its own restrictions. Seems like Hessen already place a lower 250 incidence threshold.

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.

How do you know? And how do you know that we aren't living in the fake simulated reality?

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.

Here's a press release of new official rules:

https://www.dw.com/en/german-leaders...ted/a-59994235

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..

That's rather good but just so you know, it's an adaptation from a Philip K Dick book, it's not reality!

Dude, I know everything there is to know about WW2 backwards and forwards. It's my "favorite war". Err, so to speak (shrugs).

Mainhattan can open if it is in Offenbach, not if it is in Frankfurt.

Turgid seems to have the most comprehension regarding WW2 here. Has anyone seen Man in the High Castle by the way? Or is it worth a watch?

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:

Germany was way superior to Britain militarily; even with the invasion by Germany of the Soviet Union Germany would have been able to defeat Britain. An expert's view:

"Six months before Pearl Harbor, Germany had launched an invasion of the Soviet Union, its erstwhile ally. By December 5, two days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, German armies had advanced to within 5 miles of Moscow.

Hitler had decided to postpone a cross-channel invasion of Britain itself until his armies were able to defeat the Soviet Union, but Germany was still fighting Britain through aerial and missile bombing, and was engaged against Britain on the seas, as well as elsewhere in the British Empire, as in North Africa. In South Asia, Britain was also defending its colonies and commonwealth against Japan. On the face of it, especially in the long term and even with Lend-Lease aid from the United States, it is difficult to see how Britain could have continued the war without the entry of the United States into the conflict on its side. Presumably, Winston Churchill would have had to sue for peace, or endure a German invasion of the British Isles once the Nazis had consolidated their military strength in Europe. ".

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!
