#10 Chancellor Merkel has a PhD in physics, so she understands numerical analyses. Are there infection clusters in Germany as there are in the U.S. and Israel, and how do they differ from the rest of the country?

#11 Whatever she was, she is a politician now.

Didn't seem to come in handy back when the colonist troubles were novel enough to make the news...or she did, and used state resources to suppress any bad stories arising from the colonists.

#12 Anything going on November 3rd?

Besides the US election on the 3rd (har-har), I was thinking that 1 November is All Saints Day, but that is a Sunday, and they don't adjust holidays to the closest working day like they do here, and Monday the 2nd is not a "travel day". They must have had a reason as they love beginning things on the first of the month.

No other holidays...yeah, weird.

#13 "He said, because of the rapid spread of the Coronavirus it was only a question of time until Germany’s hospitals would be overburdened."

Doesn't mention if hospitalizations are up, just the guess they'll be overburdened. Doesn't the ages of the newly infected. Sloppy journalism most likely but with out this data there is no way of knowing if the decision is necessary precaution to lesson the curve or paranoia based on obsessing over new cases.

#14 Just like it was supposed to be a "question of time" back in March or April.
