'Basically In A New Pandemic,' Says Merkel, As Germany Extends Lockdown

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday announced an intensified coronavirus lockdown going into Easter, warning that new mutations raised the specter of a potentially deadly "third wave" of COVID-19 as Europe struggles in its vaccination campaign.

Speaking early Tuesday, Merkel said restrictions would be extended until April 18. She called on citizens to stay home and for shops to close for five days over the Easter holiday.

"We are now basically in a new pandemic. The British mutation has become dominant," Merkel said after late-night videoconference sessions with leaders of Germany's 16 states.

"Fundamentally, we face a new virus of the same kind but with very different characteristics," she said. "More deadly, more infectious, and infectious for longer."....

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

She's probably referring to statistics that indicate another wave is starting. Here's a graph showing the numbers of daily cases in Germany. You can see what looks like the start of another surge. Hopefully with vaccinations, it will be tamped down.

There are other places with more dramatic looking numbers. India for example:

But in the United States, we don't see this.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The Lockdown is the new multi-tool of the bureaucratic state - its good for everything they may need it for & too sweet to give up just because the original excuse for it has gone away. It’ll have to be pried from their greasy fingers.

Common sense says fewer deaths is the only metric that means anything.
