Once again all roads lead to politics....
I wonder how much of Germany's response is less about what the rules are, and more about a willingness to follow rules.Once again you and I agree, but not for the reasons you think. Germany has employed a targeted lockdown approach which seems to have been more effective for less pain than the mass lockdowns employed by the US, Spain or the UK. Germany has had less testing than we have throughout, and their testing is less sensitive leading to fewer false positives and they restrict their testing to symptomatics or confirmed exposures. Germany has only until very recently had a mask policy, and it makes a lot more sense (being restricted in most states to transport and indoors). Germany has scaled back its vast ambitions on test and trace to things more targeted, such as workplace and school transmissions. Germany has schools open despite the rising case count. Germany has adopted a go-slow approach to the vaccine, in stark contrast to either project Warp Speed or the UK approach. Germany in stark contrast to its northern neighbors or NY/NJ, has been very restrictive with its nursing homes and didn't order them to take COVID positive patients. Germany has made an effective but non draconian use of quarantines for people returning from summer holidays. All good stuff. I'd be in favor.
But since they are doing in many respects less than we are (including a failure to travel ban Spain where a ton of Germans keep holiday homes), I don't think it's the government policies that are holding it off. In fact, at this point, it's got to be either: cross immunity, cross vaccinations, genetics or seasonality. Have they done better and at less cost? Yes, and I like it. But they haven't been able to hold off the virus since cases in Germany are now higher daily than in Sweden. Indeed, I was reading a Spanish paper this morning which postulates the reason for the difference between the Spanish and Germans is that the Spanish have very extended friends and families and are very social and touchy feely while the Germans are much more distant and have smaller extended families--- it may be as simple as that. But their curve is beginning to look a lot like Los Angeles'. In the end I think they will do better than us, but the virus is going to virus so when we look back on it a year from now I don't think we'll be able to say they kicked our butts. Time will tell....so far given what's happening in Scandinavia (where previously spared Norway and Denmark are now having issues), Sweden may have the last laugh.
Germany’s New Virus Infections Rise to Highest Level Since April
Germany’s new coronavirus cases increased at the highest pace since April as the nation’s public health authority warned that the situation continued to be “dynamic and serious.”www.bloomberg.com
Germany COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer
Germany Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.www.worldometers.info
To read the forums in the US, a good 20% of people think they have a God-given right to ignore public health regulations. We even had police chiefs refusing to enforce them, and holding press conferences to announce the fact.
It is no wonder the rules dont work if people ignore them.

I think a lot has to do with location and other variables not related to gov edicts.
Based on the amount of positives CA should have many more deaths as an example. But yet for some reason the virus never took off. Really outside if the northeast, the virus has been far less deadly vs anywhere in the US.
And we see that same thing happen in other countries and even within regions of countries.
Go look at eastern europe. I don't think anyone will argue they have better healthcare or more efficient gov vs w europe, and yet their numbers are extremely low.
Many of those countries have lower numbers vs Germany. But I can tell you that when you travel to those places, it is obvious they are not as efficient/advanced/less corrupt, etc
perfectly said.
I don't really think that's it. Germans have had their own protest and party problems. Part of the 20% of the US isn't complying with rules which Germany doesn't have in place because the US rules are much less reasonable (masks outside, youth sports). Yes, I'd buy Germans are more compliance but if you say 20% of US isn't adhering, I'd put the German number at 10%....enough to help, not enough. The most compelling explanation I think really is the Spanish one-- it's cultural: personal body space (Spaniards are practically hugging each other when socializing), family size, amount of socialization, and yes general social distance compliance
Germany weighs curbs on private parties – DW – 08/24/2020
Private parties have been blamed for fueling a rise in COVID-19 cases across Germany. While some states are calling for federal restrictions on such gatherings, those with lower rates of infection disagree.

Ok, here’s my (mostly) accurate summary of how it went off the rails.
p. 1 to about p. 2.5 - I know something you don’t know about Blues, but I won’t tell you.
- Aw, c’mon, tell me. You won’t tell?
- You are wrong for that
- You are wrong for bringing it up
- You are wrong for not telling us as we have a pandemic
- You got Blue’s Envy (implied)
- MYOFB
- Followed by corrections and comparisons to other diseases
p. 3.5 - 5 (Back to topic) Three people got it at Blues
- BFD
- You b1+ches overreacted, again
- It’s good that Blues shared
- Distance, mask, wash your hands, STFU
- TL
R - Blues Envy (stated)
- It’s not an overreaction, you selfish SOB
- You are gonna kill grandma (implied)
- Distance, mask, wash your hands, STFU
- If’s all fun until someone dies

R --> TL : DRThat’s because he has no kids in youth soccer!! LOL
Except of course that I do. I’m actually on my 17th year as a club and DA soccer dad. So bad guess. Looking forward to LA opening up scrimmages...training in isolated boxes only goes so far. Kids are the last thought of politicians and maybe, these days, also scientists...

You should be asleep! You have a big game in AZ don't you?
And he's engaged others enough in Off Topic to know the "Ban Hammer" is a comin'....
I just found out I have a third eye, WHO knew? Anyway, when I look straight, I can see clearly.........
No. I have 3 games this weekend, in Cali!
Bro, please share where....lol!!! I'm driving out to AZ right now to scout a team for upcoming SW ECNL. I do private scouting reports for my goat to see what she's up against for this season. I rented a house for a month in Gilbert and will fly my goat out on Thursday for the Cactus Kickoff!!!
Let me see........I’m thinking about it.............
How about NO!
How to effectively scout your opposition, by Soccerhelper ((old EJ))
I have studied this great game now for over 10 years. It all started on ESNP with, Living Liverpool. I was attracted to soccer because my dd was balling hard when she was 6 and you could tell she loved it and was having so much fun. I have taken notes from all the greats, like Tad and others. I know what's wrong with the men and why the men are not good right now. However, my goat is a female, so I only care about the girls game. One thing you can;t control in soccer? Luck!!!
Detail is king and where I come from, if you fail to plan, failure is what you get. For example, during his time as José Mourinho’s Chief Opposition Scout, André Villas-Boas said the following about Mourinho's and his scouting expectations: “Jose is obsessed with detail – He will leave nothing to chance, even if his team are playing the worst side in the league. My work enables Jose to know exactly when a player from the opposition is likely to be at his best or his weakest.”
Soccerhelper's first task as dad scout and dad coach, is to identify whether the opposition will tend to play direct ((Blues)) or indirect ((Surf, MLVA, Quakes, LAFC)). Long passes per 90 is a very strong statistical category to analyse, as is a look at the distribution tendencies of the goalkeeper and centre-backs. If the side features a target forward or and less technical centre-backs, the odds of a more direct approach are likely.
This is valuable information and with hard work, a plan of attack and a little luck, your dd team might just win the U17 ECNL National Championship in 2021. I want all of us in the ECNL to shoot for the stars and that can only be when you win it all. Only one team wins it all but winning is trying to win Happy Saturday folks.

Happy Saturday folks.That's nothing. We use drones with cloud penetrating radar to get footage of the opposing teams for U7.
Yikes, is that what I heard the other day at Great Park? I was at da beach the other day and some clown was flying his drone over the beach. Life Guard has his own air horn and tells those pervs to buzz off or the Sheriffs helicopter will come and shoot that thing out of the sky. Mr Hassle Holf toward me he wish he has his own high powered b b gun and shot those things out of the air himself.That's nothing. We use drones with cloud penetrating radar to get footage of the opposing teams for U7.
That's why we need the cloud penetrating radar. Once they see your drone, it's all over.
MVLA has a soccer mom with a trained falcon who knocked three of our drones out of the air before we figured it out.
I hear Top Hat rents time on a spy satellite to analyze formations.
