Germany now pretends to open, while imposing such onerous restrictions on public life (ridiculous capacity restrictions, mandatory appointments at places like fitness studios, antigen tests required everywhere) that nobody will bother and the de facto lockdown can continue.

Always a bit of a mind-f*ck when people say assert "everything is open" and it turns that there is a maze of strangling restrictions on everything

And a lot of it is more than inconvenience. You have a nontrivial chance of coming up false positive with every quick test. At which point you and immediate family are in 48-hour quarantine and the tracers are hunting down all your contacts.

Luckily, most minority businesses in our neighborhood don’t obey such stupid restrictions seriously.

I knew a few Croat bars before the last lockdown that looked the other way for regulars. I think they got hit with some fines though, now they‘re pretty cautious again.
