CurtainRaiser Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Birdbrain - 2021-11-19 2:50 PM Wonder if Germany will follow Austrias lockdown route ... https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/austria-imposes-full-lockdown-germany-may-follow-covid-grips-europe-2021-11-19/ ... I cant understand it, we were told on here that Germans do as they are told ... Whats gone wrong??? In March 2020 I was skiing in Austria when Coronavirus first struck there with a outbreak in the neighbouring resort which we had skied across to earlier in the week. The outbreak was identified on the Thursday, by the Sunday the whole region was in lockdown - all hotels, bars, restaurants and ski lifts closed, no transport in or out. This was just before Easter and that's the time that resorts make the profit element for a trading year. We returned to the UK where the first outbreak had been in identified in January in York. We were at home after our ski trip for three weeks before the first lockdown happened here. So it looks like Austria is once again acting quickly, unlike the uk. I note with interest from your link that "Austria said it would require the whole population to be vaccinated as of February, a decision bound to infuriate many in a country where scepticism about vaccines runs high, encouraged by the far-right Freedom Party". Who would have thought it, a populist far right party putting peoples lifes at risk.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain a little better as Austria first had covid cases in February not March as you claim and if it was just before Easter that your banging on about well Easter was mid April in 2020 so I can only presume you mean late March or even early April ...

I know you'll clear up the confusion Well to be pedantic, UK first case 6th January 2020 York, according to Wikipedia two people from Italy were treated in Insbruck hospital on the 25th February. I returned 15th March when Austria lockdowned. UK lockdown started the 26th March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head of German disease control says the new daily infections could be 2 or 3 times higher than the actual reported latest figure of 65.000, so it could really be around 200.000 ... Wow!!! ... I thought the girls said on here that Germans do as they instructed to do and dont they still have the masks rules in place Barry wants us to have??? ... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/18/german-health-chief-urges-covid-crackdown-to-avert-very-bad-christmas ... Must be true its in The Bible Boris made mistakes at the begining of the Pandemic and the Squad called him all kinds of nasty names :-| ......... Now that Merkel is making mistakes nearly 2 years later 8-) ........... Can we assume the Squad will be using those same names on "Merkel the Butcher" (?) .......... Coz it will mean that they're just 2 faced hypocrites if they dont *-) ........... Good call Dave, lets assess the facts. UK hits 200 deaths per day, Boris 'the butcher' Kemal says everything is OK. Germany hits 200 deaths per day, Merkel calls for more restrictions. So as we can see Merkel will take whatever measures she thinks right to protect the population. Kemal is fine with the people of this fine country dying before their time. Thanks for pointing this out so we can fully realise just how much Kemal hates this country. Correct, and unlike us Germans are well disciplined. During their last lockdown Merkel imposed night time curfews and it's likely if they follow Austria into lockdown, the same will prevail. They are used to self discipline whereas Brits prefer to go out boozing. Germany also has strict controls over allowing only vaccinated people to go to restaurants and sport events.
