The rationale behind I understand was realising people were going to do it in large numbers anyway so better to at least set limits and guidance rather than free for all.
As a family we all agreed we aren't going to see each other, too many elderly and vulnerable in our family. Not worth any risk. Especially not now we are so close to vaccinations.
I have just been reading about Merkel and she seems to be putting the case forward for tighter restrictions- does she have a lot of opposition to this?

Yeah, there's another huge protest against corona rules planned in my city around new year's
We don't want those bloody covidiots here!
I think the people against it are just very loud, but not necessarily a majority. A lot of people are seeing how stupid others are behaving and want to have tighter restrictions to end this mess.
The good thing is even if the country as a whole doesn't go into a stricter lockdown, states can still decide their own measures. And cases here are crazy high so they HAVE to do something.

I don’t like a total lockdown at all at this time, after all what we learnt about how to protect ourselves from the virus. I’m more into the opinion that several measures keeping long term are the best at this moment. But if we relax the restrictions according to our feasts, I’m sure later we will have to pay for it.
I totally agree with you.

Exactly.
Stricter lockdown here would be all non essential stores closing. And be sent into home office again. Which we already are anyway. I hope we'd never go into not being allowed out anymore. I'm now trying to go out for a run or walk in the morning. Since this week I start work at 7:45 I'm forced to go very very early when the streets are quiet, so I'm gonna try to keep up this schedule even when my work times change.
