Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

[Sirioja]

Saarland seem to close clubs on Thursday. Also risk for NRW soon, when Bavaria and Saxe already closed. For those who still drink on internet everything is fine in Germany, when Omicron didn't spread yet, but when you know a bit about Bundesliga, should be soon with empty stadiums, no yellow wall. All fine.

[Maxime]

What about GT which is supposed to open tomorrow?

Probably they will, but only for 1 or 2 days. Sad but true.

[PaulInZurich]

Only if Germany had caught some ideas from the winter war in Finland. Cause damn how little they knew of winter warfare!

Motti tactics don't work so well in the open steppe.

When you don't sleep much, you have more time than others, more than 20 hours per day. There are controls on TV or radio when no control on internet. We got a French I think ex baker, telling HIV don't exist..

You still don't understand that the German Federal Office of Statistics is not your French baker.

BTW, there is a link between lack of sleep and Alzheimer's.

NRW just had their press conference with (possible) new Corona rules. They will detail it tomorrow and formalize it the day after, but it seems that not only 2 G /2 G+ rules will be expanded, also clubs (and disco's, etc) in NRW are likely to close.

Whack, here's a source:

I wonder what Hesse will do.

[Mursenary]

I don't hear Germany is fine about covid like they seem to hear in US when they read from beginning of the year. I wonder why they cancelled big money Munich Christmas market and maybe not so far from Winter lockdown, like 1 year ago, when SA Omicron just arrived, not spreading yet.

Oh, you actually are capable of to parsing details. But apparently only when someone points it out to you, and not when it offends your ego. Ignorance by choice is magnitudes worse than just ignorance.

No one claimed Germany was fine. I said hospitals are not full and hospitalizations and deaths are not going up proportionately to cases. This peak will not be as bad as the last and the next will be even less severe. Hospitals are not full.

Apparently you trust a reporter's editorial more than direct data reported by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. Maybe you think Europa.eu is part of the bullshit internet?

Hospitals are less full today than they were in February when they were 77% full.

Pretty sure 3 hours of sleep per night is not good for the brain. More sleep would probably curb the psychosis, delay the progression of dementia.

But to the original point of the Lancet being discredited, I will redirect to the difference between their role in publishing research versus publishing editorials and public statements. I think your original statement alluded to the difference between referencing random internet articles versus referencing published peer reviewed sources.

Of course you are right. Research published in Lancet or BMJ or NEJM carry some weight. The hobbit refuses to look at any source that doesn't agree with his twisted mind. Your link was to the German Federal Office of Statistics website, it's not the facebook post of a unemployed dog portrait painter.

[PaulInZurich]

Yet you post a link to me dated 8th November? What data was old you say?

I'll explain like for a 3 year old, because that is who you are. You claim on 28 November that the reason the number of cases is falling in Romania is because they have a low vaccination rate. You make this ridiculous claim without anything to support it, you probably didn't find any facebook post from an unemployed dog portrait painter relating to this.

The link I posted talks how restrictions first imposed earlier were extended on 8 November for 30 days. So these restrictions had plenty of time to reduce the number of cases.

NRW just had their press conference with (possible) new Corona rules. They will detail it tomorrow and formalize it the day after, but it seems that not only 2 G /2 G+ rules will be expanded, also clubs (and disco's, etc) in NRW are likely to close.

Its looking grim awrite.

You guys are not thinking. The US would never have dropped a nuclear bomb on Germany / Europe. The result would have been communist Russia being dominant in the region with Communism taking over the whole of Western Europe in addition to Eastern Europe. The US hates Communists more than Nazis.

If Russia hadn't been an ally in 1945, they would have gotten nuked too.

[McAdonis]

The US hates Communists more than Nazis.

Well uneasy alliances are always formed. Geopolitics 101.

Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

Had Hitler listened to his generals who were more seasoned in combat tactics than him he would not have fought a war on two fronts. He could have left Russia for another time and concentrated all his forces on Western Europe.

It was essentially a one-front war 1941-1943. British Army was not in any shape to invade continental Europe. And even with concentrated forces, Germany could not match the Royal Navy, so an amphibious invasion of Britain would have been foolish. Summer of 1940 the Luftwaffe did try to bomb Britain in hopes of forcing an armistice, but that failed. Either way, Hitler's major objective, as he articulated decades earlier was to expand eastward and exterminate people he viewed as subhumans (Bolsheviks, Jews). Had he waited another year, the Red Army would have not been caught off-guard. Even with 80 percent of his army on the eastern front, he could not force Russia to surrender.

An armchair expert on Quora:

Hitler wasn't faced with a war on two fronts. He was victorious in continental Europe. France was defeated and Britain confined to her island and incapable of launching a land invasion of France. U-boats were strangling the UK's ability to feed and re-arm. The USA was not in the war and a strong anti war movement existed in that country. Consequently by the end of the summer of 1940 there was no risk to Hitler's western flank. The Germans saw that the USSR was very weak. Its officer corp had been decimated by Stalin's paranoid purges and had been almost defeated by tiny Finland in the Winter War of 1939. Hitler had planned to launch Opperation Babarossa earlier in 1941 but was forced to come to the aid of his ally Mussolini who had got into trouble in his farcical attempt to invade the Balkans. Hitler was forced to postpone the jump off from the begining of May until the end of June 1941 sending units to invade Greece. This delay proved fatal and meant that German forces who got in sight of the towers of the Russian capital but just failed to take Moscow because of the winter snows. This stalling of the invasion allowed Stalin vital breathing space to reorganise and bring up fresh divisions from Siberia.

It's not looking good my mongers. It's not looking good. I told you we had to be on guard for what might happen during the winter. It's not looking good for travel to Europe and / or the clubs remaining open in Germany (and some other countries too).

Then bad luck for GT Oceans.

[Maxime]

UK, Belgium, NL, CZ, etc are already discouraged to go to CH (test + quarantaine for EVERYONE, also people who are 2 G compliant! So let's hope Germany will not follow this same rules.

Spain starts to do the same (for people from UK), etc, so hurry if you still can!

BTW, was in German club few days ago, and (almost) everywhere they use 2 G+ now, so Vaccinated / Cured PLUS negative test is needed to enter. Result: much less men and girls are about to take an early Christmas break.
