Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

Something to be said about case numbers, specifically Germany's relatively low cases. In fact, oddly much lower than all of their bordering nations to the east, west, north, and south.

Are the Germans that much better at controlling the virus or is it that they just don't test at every opportunity? Test numbers are also the lowest in the region:

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers...UT~DNK~CHE~CZE

On further inspection against their neighbors, their positive result rate is second only to Switzerland, meaning they are less likely to perform screening tests and more likely to perform diagnostic testing. Therefore less asymptomatic positive cases being caught.

My optimistic conclusion:

Omicron is even more widespread in Germany than numbers suggests because asymptomatic cases are not being tested and recorded. With hospitalizations and deaths continuing to decline, Omicron is not having much of an effect on the German healthcare burden. This is actually really good news for Germany as they are likely pretty deep into the Omicron surge and that much closer to the end of the surge.

I went to Georgia Institute of Technology after high school. The order of prestige and ability went:

1. High level Engineering and Architecture majors.

2. Civil Engineers and Industrial Engineers.

3. Management and Building Construction majors (not actual engineers).

Seems like you fall in the latter group. Good for you for going to college.

What about "Majoring in literature, media and communications"? Couple of the football team players. I guess this means Georgia Tech thinks those are joke majors?

Why do you think it will not change?

The Hotspot rule ((As soon as the incidence of infection in a county exceeds 350 for three consecutive days, additional "hotspot regulations" take effect locally from the next day)) is valid until February I think (not sure which date) , they have to agree to extend it after that , which make no sense if hospitalizations and deaths didn't go up!

I just don't know what do expect in this crazy time they call ((Pandemic)).

Germans have always been slow to change once they've started something.

But I wasn't aware of an expiration date on the Hessen mandate. If so, I'm less pessimistic about my assumption. For now though, I plan on being in Europe soon and will keep Frankfurt off my itinerary unless it changes in the next few weeks.

Unless they amend rules to look at hospitalizations and deaths like they are in NRW, Hessen will probably not open before March, maybe even April.

Hospital cases still going down since beginning of December. Deaths going down since Christmas. Maybe small increase with Omicron.

Summary:

If Hessen change rules to look at Hospital patients, Sharks can open immediately, if only looking at cases, March / April.

I don't think they will change.

In France, some engineers schools are higher ranked than all our universities or architecture schools, best at school don't go to university but to best engineers or business schools and I was in one of the 10 best engineers schools in France on late 80's, with higher level than now. And as told my mum and some teachers: you could have better, but you like too much ski and cars, they were right. I didn't learn efficiency at any school but with cars, starting with my first H3 E21 which was engineered prepared in Germany when I bought but I improved more with race injectors and air filter for nearly 30 power more, that s why I m so efficient to make money in my job, what is result expected, always looking for performance.

Isn't that a cute alternative reality. You're ugly, poor, and employed by a more powerful man. Basically a cuck.

Actually a woman employed me. You on the other hand probably had to suck on a cock.

Medical need, not political need.

Of course it is medical. How dumb are you?

It will be good to have you on a BMI leech though!

According to Ray Kurzweil you will be a fool if you want to live outside of the virtual world in the future anyway!

You live in the lockers of an 'homo only' gym? They use you as their *****?

You and your weired gay fantasies.

I believe there are special forums for your type.

240 deaths and 120000 new cases yesterday in Germany, more than under flu.

I thought you were Norwegian?

Where I am from real men are defined by their cock size and how much they lift in benchpress. (without anabolics).

And I think Hessen may not reopen so soon. I surprised NRW is still open, when Bavaria is closed since a while.

Construction engineers are bottom of the barrel in any engineering schools. Although I seriously doubt he has an engineering degree from a university. That would require him to be capable of logical thinking, which is clearly not the case.

Building Construction was the major we had for people who couldn't get into the more prestigious architecture program. Others who couldn't hack architecture went into civil engineering where they learned the most optimal place to put fire alarms and fire hydrants. They had the most important job of making sure things were up to code like ensuring that the light switch was only 1 meter from a door and not 1. 1 meters. Challenging work I'm sure.

When girls look at my hands, some to check if true when I answer I m not married when most don t believe me. When they ask about my job, I never answer I m a businessman when I m judged about money I create from projects I have to make efficient and I m paid according to this, but I'm more proud of part of world created I manage. Girls most often understand I m architect, I always correct: no I m not, I manage them to achieve, I should add: more and more often, I do instead of them for better efficiency for time and money rate. I love my job which need efficiency, often having to clean projects which can t work, to make them live. Most of time paid for cleaning and solving.
