This American cousin, along with others, has sympathy for your plight.  😏

A sunburned zebra  😉  We learned it in school with “read” and the newspaper to understand the homophone  😂

@Namu and @dstanners  I come from New Orleans and my father was in a care home during Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding.  The circumstances were terrifying.  Thankfully he survived.  Watching these horrific scenes in 🇩🇪 has been extremely disturbing for me.  My heart goes out to you and all of those affected.  We also have stories of kindness and generosity that still bring me to tears.  Blessings to each of you.

There are numerous threads on TT on this topic, especially regarding Americans.  After 6 months, without special permission, we can not use our US license, but we most certainly can exchange it without a driving course if our state has reciprocity. Many of us have done so after years of residency. https://www.toytowngermany.com/forum/topic/332231-exchanging-your-us-drivers-license/?page=3

I am using my luca app to show my vaccination info.  I find it very convenient since it's the same app for restaurant check-in.

My point is there is no mandate here to wear the better mask.  And things have gotten quite loosy-goosy in general.  I was on a train yesterday where a bunch of teens boarded, sat one next to the other, and promptly removed them.  So I moved.

Here, in lieu of an FFP2 mask, one can wear an OP mask in public, on public transport, and shopping.

People can enter 🇨🇭 if they are fully vaccinated with the Chinese vaccines Sinopharm or Sinovac. https://www.bag.admin.ch/bag/en/home/krankheiten/ausbrueche-epidemien-pandemien/aktuelle-ausbrueche-epidemien/novel-cov/empfehlungen-fuer-reisende/quarantaene-einreisende.html#687386996

  “Members of the conspiracy are encouraged to commit crimes, using the organization for their own benefit. That ultimately becomes the way in which the organization binds the individual to it and encourages loyalty.”   Madoff, Trump, and the Mafia have all used this strategy.

I think Don Jr. and Eric got so darn used to getting away with breaking rules, and it hasn’t yet dawned on them that their reprieve may be over.  But it’s OK.  😁  I hope those loose lips of theirs just keep on flappin‘.  The more beans they spill the better.  🍿🍺  

Can’t you do this at a local Apotheke?   In Konstanz (BW) we can.

  English is my mother tongue.  I thought she was playfully agreeing with your point that these large stadium gatherings are arrogant, foolish, and an invitation for a future lockdown.  Don’t steal her thunder.  😂

🇦🇲 has been added to the list of travel free restriction countries that can visit the EU.  So my kids are coming!  🙏🥳 🎊

The reality is that things have opened back up.  As of the 20th of July anyone residing in the 🇺🇸, and several other third countries that are considered non-risk areas, can fly to 🇩🇪 with as little as a negative PR test.  Vaccination is not required.   https://www.germany.info/us-en/covid-19/2321562
