Germany's new rules on lockdown easing are mind-bendingly complex, see below. But the nub of it is that Germany is easing *when cases are rising*, justified supposedly by a mysterious new testing strategy. I'm not sure this ends well.

Fun fact: “Treasure hunting came close to being a magical mass movement. There were thousands of treasure hunters in early modern Europe and almost all of them tried to use magic.”

Thread.....Here’s a challenge for those of us who live in a large global city and only make it out to small towns for a weekend away: follow a local paper like Kalispell, Montana’s @FlatheadBeacon. I have family in the area so that publication is particularly interesting to me.

[Saskia Miller @sasmiller]

@YaotzinBerlin @Gloria_Oh @libby__lewis @margaretbarthel @darrellhartman Good tips, thanks Yaotzin..

[Saskia Miller @sasmiller]

@darrellhartman @Gloria_Oh @YaotzinBerlin @libby__lewis @margaretbarthel @bangordailynews I’ll follow them too - thanks for sharing, D.

[Saskia Miller @sasmiller]

So I’m curious...do you follow/read any truly local papers outside your big city and if so which ones? Feel free to chime in dear media friends and experts @Gloria_Oh @YaotzinBerlin @libby__lewis @margaretbarthel @darrellhartman and others..

NYC bodegas, including my old favorite on Prince and Mulberry, are absolutely critical to the city I called home for so long...my heart goes out!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

New York's bodegas, a lifeline for many city residents, have become prime targets for crime in the pandemic. But many of the often immigrant-owned stores, facing a sharp rise in burglaries and shootings, can't afford new safety measures. https://t.co/sTQTkrkqED
