Germany opens, gets spike in pandemic

Duh.

"Health authorities in Germany have reported more than 900 new cases of the deadly coronavirus less than a week after lockdown restrictions were relaxed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The Robert Koch Institute for public health and disease control has reported 933 new COVID-19 infections on Tuesday – an increase from just 357 on Monday. According to the Institute the infection rate – the so-called R rate - has been above one for the past three days. The rate means on average one person will potentially transmit the virus to one other individual. The Institute for public health estimated the R rate was at 1.07 on Monday and 1.13 on Sunday."
