GERMANY: CASES UP, LOCKDOWN MORE

German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced last week that countrywide lockdown restrictions, which have been in place to fight the COVID War and were set to expire on 14 February, would extend until at least 7 March.
A report obtained by Euronews.com said the new guidelines will be in place until there are seven straight days of fewer than 35 new cases per 100,000. The report stated Berlin’s peak was 198 new cases on 22 December. Last Wednesday, there were 68 cases per 100,000.
Merkel, like other leaders, said she is concerned about the variants, which appear to be more contagious and deadly. The country of 83 million recorded 62,969 deaths and 2.3 million total cases. The new U.K. variant made up six percent of Germany’s new cases.
“It will get the upper hand. The old virus will go away. We are going to live with a new virus. And we cannot yet assess this new virus and its behavior,” Ms. Merkel declared.
TRENDPOST: We have reported extensively on the ever-changing, arbitrary lockdown laws that are imposed by politicians without a shred of scientific data to support them.
Moreover, ignored by the mainstream media and politicians is the fact that the coronavirus is a dangerous disease for the elderly and those with comorbidities. About 89 percent who died from the virus in Germany were over 70, and 96 percent were over 60. 
As we have noted, governments should be taking measures to protect those most vulnerable to the virus and stop destroying entire economies and businesses, ruining lives, and crushing the livelihoods of the young to fight what is primarily an “old person’s disease.”
