The second shutdown begins on Monday.
For the whole of November, public life in Germany will be partially shut down again.
For the second time since the beginning of the corona pandemic, this time for a limited time.
The measures - contact restrictions, the closure of restaurants, pubs and beauty salons, among other things, the elimination of opportunities for sport, leisure and culture - affect some people more than others.
The evaluation of the measures is correspondingly different - as here in Hamburg.
Dominik Dreher:
I don't think that's good at all, because I should actually be going to Bavaria for the week to work. I can forget again.
Norbert Rakos:
Let's hope that people come to their senses, stick to the rules and that we'll somehow survive most of that in November. And I guess we'll have to live with it for the next year or two, and we'll have to get used to it. We should start with that.
Tessa Goliasch:
I read that church services are still going on, and I was a bit surprised. On the one hand, I see that people give a lot of support. But sport also gives people a lot of support.
Christian Griesbach:
Why is the Bundesliga allowed to continue playing? But my children are no longer allowed to do their leisure sports either. Why are the children put in solid classrooms, with winter coats, and on the other hand, many things continue to take place?
Curina Rakos:
Ms. Merkel, she does it really well. I marvel at her at your age anyway, that she can do it and that she has the strength to assert herself, is not that easy.
Michael Schlulze:
What should we do? I don't want to be in the shoes of some politician who says that: you have to do it. Everything we say is wrong. We can say what we want. Whether it's Mrs. Merkel or Mr. Spahn or someone else. They all say: what we are doing is wrong and afterwards Mr. Kubicki arrives and says: It doesn't work that way. Then we have to ask the judges first.
Alexandra Herbst:
To be honest, we have completely changed our lives since March. My husband belongs to the risk group. He is chronically ill with the lungs. We only see our daughter on long walks. That's all fine.
Dominik Dreher:
I think it's okay If you have to work until 10 p.m. in the evening and then want to have a leisurely beer, then you can't because it costs 150 euros again. Yes, a year has been a long time, it is now stretching like chewing gum.
Eve Aydin:
But basically we all have it pretty good. Whether you go to a party or a concert every day or just stay at home, where it's nice too.
Christian Griesbach:
And this sword of Damocles is hung up there, that may not be the last time, but will come again, especially now in the darker and colder season, I could imagine, is a maximum extreme burden for many. For the future, I would say that many shops have to file for bankruptcy because the city of Hamburg simply doesn't get any money for them to pay the rents and the purchases. In the future, I would say it will ruin us all at some point.
Michael Schulze:
I hope that after four weeks we will not have to sit under the Christmas tree with a mask on for Christmas. That would be pretty tough.
