Background information
In Germany bars, theatres, cinemas, parks, gyms stadiums are closed.
Restaurants are still open, only until 18.00 hours and half the tables left unoccupied
The first smaller cities have ordered curfews.
The first of 18 states (Bavaria) has ordered a curfew that will be effective of Saturday
More to follow
So far, under curfew, one is allowed to go to work and shop for necessities.
Especially Bavaria looks to Italy, beeing the closest.
Italy:
400 deaths in Bergamo alone and thats not a very large city
10 pages of orbituaries in the local newspaper
morgues filled to overflow, crematories and cemetaries cant cope with the backlog
In Germany we are beginning to understand that we are behind the curve, have wasted some of the time, but are still left with a chance to do something and make a difference
