So monumental? Your own people didn’t wander into a federal building with the police allowing them to.
We had three(!) police officers defending the Parliament when neo-nazi affiliated covid deniers tried to storm it a few months ago. The rest of Berlin's police force was busy using 1500 officers to evict militant leftist from a squat. Because protecting the rights of the property owner takes precedence even during a pandemic.So monumental? Your own people didn’t wander into a federal building with the police allowing them to.
We're not flying that blindly, we know it's bad. Just see test positivity rates skyrocket over the holidays, a clear indicator of an increased Dunkelziffer.You know who was on holidays as well? Public health authorities and labs. Estimate is we'll have cleared up the backlog in reporting and testing in time to have reliable numbers by the 17th or so, meaning we are more or less flying blind until then (which also party taints the "good news" above).
Like, four months ago.Not recently anyway. ?
At least the three officers were successful in keeping the mob out.We had three(!) police officers defending the Parliament when neo-nazi affiliated covid deniers tried to storm it a few months ago.
I was unaware of this incident, I was making a joke. In poor taste. I apologize.Like, four months ago.
With case numbers dropping at the same time, so whether it got a bit better or a bit worse or stayed about the same or whether there's a massive difference we don't know. Berlin seems to be at roughly the same level as before Christmas now that labs are finding their footing again.We're not flying that blindly, we know it's bad.

Point taken.At least the three officers were successful in keeping the mob out.
Well, this sharp rise in positivity rate together with the drop in tests could only fit together with a not-fucked-up reality if the preselection of who to test suddenly improved massively during the holidays... which I doubt is realistic.With case numbers dropping at the same time, so whether it got a bit better or a bit worse or stayed about the same or whether there's a massive difference we don't know.

Not gonna fight you, since we both in the end don't know. For Berlin I see that after a sharp drop in cases (due to labs being closed and people not being in town during to the holidays) we are now about where we were before the holidays, which, again, has to be considered close to a best-case scenario compared to what happened in the US after Thanksgiving. Of course, if there is a spike from New Year's celebrations, we will only see it early next week, so no reason to celebrate prematurely.Well, this sharp rise in positivity rate together with the drop in tests could only fit together with a not-fucked-up reality if the preselection of who to test suddenly improved massively during the holidays... which I doubt is realistic.
One alternative explanation I have heard is that the official number only counts PCR tests, so if you get a rapid antigen test to check for covid before Christmas, a negative test does not show up in the statistics, but a positive antigen test will be confirmed by PCR, leading to a pre-filtered sample of people getting PCR tested in CW52 and reported in CW53.We're not flying that blindly, we know it's bad.
