Mirtek how reliable is DW news? I've been watching that on YouTube about your country and Covid.
I don't really watch DW, but I would rate it as very reliable. It's the channel our public broadcasting made to inform viewers from foreign countries and the public broadcasting in Germany is generally seen as the most reliable news you can get.
We do have private stations, but none of their news comes even close to the viewer rates of the news on public broadcasting.
They're the reason why prime time TV in Germany starts at 20:15, because 20:00 - 20:15 is time of the Tagesschau and no channel dares to try to compete with that.
A short summary of Germany at the moment: It's a complete s##tshow. Infections rates are the highest we ever had and vaccinated and anti-vaccination crowds are at each other throats worse than ever before.
We're pretty close to getting a 2G rule (only vaccinated or revovered) for just about everything except work and public transport (to get to work) and even there 3G (vaccinated, recovered or negatively tested within the last 24h) seems to not be far off.
Currently christmas markets are still officially allowed, but I fully expect them to be officially cancelled before ever having the chance to open. Many local organizers are already cancelling on their own, trying to get of of existing contracts and avoid making any new contracts before they'll be forced to cancell anything anyway.
My state, RLP, actually entered the lastest round of relaxing restrictions last Monday. Currently there are no requirements anymore for any outside gatherings and events. No masks, no distance, no contract tracing, no testing, nothing at all. Now it was set in motion weeks ago that those new relaxed regulation would take effect on November 8th and back then the situation didn't look nearly as dire as it does now.
However I was still surprised that they did actually allow the regulation to take effect as planned instead of revoking it at the last minute.
