🇩🇪 Here's some fascinating "facts" - if you can even call them that & not a clear manipulation of figures.

Germany accounts for 10% of the world's Coronavirus deaths, despite being just 1% of the global population!

(That is to say, that they "died with" C-19, not "died from".)
🇩🇪 Germany also has the highest Covid-19 "deaths per million" rate in the entire world.

🌍 47
🇺🇲 112
🇩🇪 728

6.5x higher than the US!

15.5x higher than the rest of the World!

These numbers don't add up.

Remember, masking on public transport remains.

🇩🇪 It's also worth noting that Germany had some of the most restrictive measures in the world.

And they can be brought back at any time.

The unvaccinated were completely excluded from normal life from last November until measures were dropped in May.

"What if...?"

A lot of people seems to be asking lately, "What If...?"

What if we hadn't locked down?

What if we didn't try to "flatten the curve?"

What if we had just let the virus run it's natural course without enacting never before tried NPIs?
What if we did actually follow the previous governmental pandemic planning procedures or the follow the findings that resulted from numerous exercises for similar outbreaks?

What if we hadn't closed schools?

No matter how hard I try, and God knows I do try, I just can't get over the last few years, especially the last 12 months.

I'm just not the same person I was in 2019.

No matter what I do, I just can't move on or forget the hurt & pain so many people caused.

I can't forget.
I can't forgive.

Nothing seems to help. Few things seem to make me happy. I'm stuck in an endless cycle of anger & resentment.

I try to switch off & distract myself with nature or books or even films, but it always comes back to mind.
I barely sleep. I struggle to even get out of bed in the mornings. I cry at the smallest thing.

I had hoped that as measures were relaxed, and as normality returned, I'd be able to move on, but am starting to worry that I can't.

We are so divided.
Whether it be politics.
Whether it's religion, race or gender.
No matter the issue, we polarise everything & we divide ourselves into separate camps.
We take labels & pigeonhole ourselves.
We've become deeply tribal
We attack those we perceive to be against us.
Despite holding many similar views, sharing similar experiences, feeling the same emotions, our first instinct is to highlight or focus on our differences.

We take those difference as an excuse to other people & dismiss their genuine concerns.
We seem to automatically use those differences to build barriers.

We ridicule or insult strangers, simply for expressing their views.

We enter into arguments over the smallest difference of opinion & then show hatred & aggression to those open enough to speak their mind.

🇩🇪 Germany - The interference with the right to physical integrity is justified under constitutional law in order to protect vulnerable groups from infection with SARS-CoV-2

Shocking decision, based on the availble knowledge at the time the law was made.

"We are all in this together!"

That's what they said in March 2020.

I was called an essential worker. I carried a letter daily in case I was stopped by the police on my way to or from work.
How quickly that changed.

When people like me questioned if the lockdowns, mask wearing in the street & other NPIs were proportionate or helpful, they were called Corona deniers.
Lockdown sceptics or critics soon began to be called Covidiots. Here in Germany they were called Querdenkers.

A phrase meaning lateral thinker.

A rather strange insult...
