For the German federal government, the unvaccinated lockdown in autumn is fixed
I was just talking to my kid, who will be 12 in December - so right age for push for vaccine, what are the rules for next school year.But that's not all: because the federal government wants "2G instead of 3G". And this does not mean the dismantling of mobile phone masts, but the dismantling of fundamental rights. Instead of "recovered, tested and vaccinated", now only "vaccinated and recovered" apply. Non-vaccinated people would then no longer be allowed to go to restaurants even if they had a negative Corona test, and "contact restrictions" for non-vaccinated people could also be extended. Of course, they say they don't want this, but it could become necessary.
In short:
- quick/self tests 2 times per week - except for the kids who are fully vaccinated or recovered from corona in last 6 months
- ALL have to wear the mask in the classes, except on the school yard
So - not much "freedom" for the vaccinated.
We agreed that the best would be if we all would be tested positive, spend 2 weeks in quarantine/holydays - and we all would be "free" from testing and other stupid stuff for the next 6 months.
We were actually making fun of it all and wishing to get the corona and relax for 6 months.
And then I saw your post...
I think I´ll start "licking doorknobs" so I get the corona....
Also, I think that either way and whatever regulations they came up with, until middle of October is the maximum that will be kind of "normal" life - then during and after Herbstferien (2 weeks school off in autumn, starting 9.Oct this year), we will again be in lockdown due to Delta/Zeta/Eta/Kappa/... variant, and the school and "normal" life will continue again in the spring (not before May, I would say) - with new rules, of course.
It is still unknown what the price of the tests will be.... If I have to pay for the tests - oh well, I´ll squeeze it (hopefully) in the budget and go shopping 1 per 1-2 weeks, and live on my reserves....
We even brought a whole pig´s dry bacon and several buckets of swine fat/lard from Croatia (which we made by ourselves so we can enjoy fresh cracklings).
I don´t know; what will be - will be... Best to prepare for the worse...
