The Robert Koch Institute released a news to the press that the reproduction value in Germany has climbed beyond the critical threshhold level of 1.0, to now 1.1 . Considering that Germans everywhere in recent days have started to go crazy, I expect it to climb further. At the same time the 16 federal states have made it clear that they will no longer listen to demands by Merkel for more discipline.

China asked the WHO to cover up coronavirus outbreak: German intelligence service

Delay cost world 4 to 6 weeks: BND

[Skybird]

Dynamo Dresden becomes the third club of the Bundesliga with Corona cases identified in their team (two players are infected), and has put all its team in full quarantine. It will not play when they restart the league with ghost matches in May 16th.

I think the whole idea is a idiotic still birth, owing to financial greed of the big clubs only. I also oppose the idea of channelling so much of needed testing capacities to it, just to get the games going. These capacity should be used for nursing homes, and hposital stzaff instead. Football is no essential thing.

A small but real majority of Germans opposes the idea, too.

Two days ago, 2 distriocts were above the new treshold level of 50 infections per 100,000 population (then, so the states agreed, they would need to reverse the easinbgs of the lockdown). Yesterday it were 5 districts. Today it is 8. Most states seem to refuse to take action, at the time of typing this I know of only three having reacted to the return of the crisis in these 8 districts.

Demonstrations across Germany, a wild mix of right wingers, conspiration theoreticists, autonomous black blocks, Pegida fans, stupids, and the likes. Dense crowds in some cities. No masks. Police was described to have been helpless, and got attacked.

Rockstar beat me to it, the BND says that China pressed the WHO to help hoina hiding the beginning of the pandemic. The news is suspiciously unpresent in German media over here. I have the feeling that the government still is determined to take sides with Bejing in this.

The next wave in germany is in the making by all this. This time it will not be imported. This time it will be "made in Germany." If it continues like this, we will not need to have to wait until autumn. At the same time, many corona capacities in hospitals that were mounted and reserved, have been started to get build back.


Stuttgart demonstration on Saturday: no masks. No social distancing. Nothing.

What are you talking about?
The BND has said nothing like this.

Information war between Washington and Beijing, and it is clear where Taiwan stands.

From the alleged report:
"BND doubts Corona intelligence file on China
The news went around the world: Five Western intelligence agencies made serious accusations against China's handling of the pandemic in a dossier. Could it be this paper does not exist?

According to a media report, there are doubts about a western secret service paper that China is said to have sharply criticized for dealing with the corona crisis. According to research by the NDR, the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) should have the relevant Information.

According to the broadcaster, the BND is said to have informed the foreign affairs committee of the Bundestag on Wednesday that the intelligence service was asking the suspected creators of the paper, the members of the "Five Eyes" secret service alliance. The NDR then reported that they had no knowledge of a common paper, the NDR reported on Thursday, citing the participants of the confidential committee meeting."

Sturgeon doesn't have a monopoly on that particular trait!

Note also that the devolved administrations for Northern Ireland and Wales have also declined to use the new message.

Responsibility for health is a devolved matter, so anything that the UK daily briefing team say on the matter only pertains to England, not the rest of the UK.

As for Scotland, the problem seems to be the slow progress in the death rate dropping. It actually plateaued for a number of weeks before it started to drop only a few days a go.

The main train of thought as to the reason points to the areas of extreme deprivation and poverty in the Clyde Valley conurbation. Inverclyde has had the highest rate of death per 10 000 people in Scotland.

France is also not clearly positioned. President Emmanuel Macron says there are questions that only China can answer. However, due to the dependence on supplies of medical materials from China, Paris wants to avoid an open confrontation.

Sorts of defines the E.U. as a whole doesnt it? Beholden to China and wishy washy

Several weeks ago I asked what's known about your European leaders opinion on all of this and all I got was "we're investigating before we say". Reading the link you posted they apparently will not have an opinion since your leaders are too busy nursing on China's teet. The reason we havent heard from them is it looks like China owns your leaders, supply chain and your economy. Says something about where they stand too.

Yes, what about it? From the link you provided:

"Spiegel said Germany’s BND spy agency had asked members of the U.S.-led “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance for evidence to support the accusation. None of the alliance’s members, the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, wanted to support Pompeo’s claim, it said.

An intelligence report prepared for German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer concluded that the U.S. accusations were a deliberate attempt to divert public attention away from President Donald Trump’s “own failures”.

We will see, or not. Propaganda and the blame game are in full swing -
