Austria and Denmark have announced plans to reopen their societies after coronavirus lockdowns

On Monday, Austrian authorities reported 241 new infections and 465 recoveries over the previous 24 hours. The slowing spread of the virus has relieved pressure on the medical system and allowed for planning the next step.

Actions this week "will determine whether the post-Easter resurrection that we are all hoping for can take place," Kurz said, invoking the religious imagery.Announcing the plan for lifting restrictions, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said, "It's like walking on a line. If we stand still along the way, we can fall. If we go too fast, things can go wrong. Therefore, we must take one cautious step at a time. And we do not yet know when we have firm ground under our feet.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said last week that she "would be acting absolutely irresponsibly if I simply gave you a specific date today when the measures could be abolished, or at least relaxed, but then could not keep promises because the infection numbers did not allow it."

Finally some countries who can see through the BS. Australia will be last to realise we have been duped by the hysterical media.

Let’s hope it’s not too early

Looking at their death and case rates, far too early.

Australia's conducted 3 times the number of tests that Austria has and 6 times Denmark, and much fewer cases per million persons... Watch this space! COVID2019AU covid19australia scomo Australia

Victoria's schools to reopen next weekPremier Daniel Andrews announces schools will reopen next week, as the state's coronavirus death toll rises to 11. This is so misleading. I must say 'digital issues' is a very polite way of saying 'screwed over by the NBN'. This is out of date already given he announced they'd go remote shortly after.
