Berliner Corona-Regeln: Gemeinde geht gegen Gottesdienstverbot vor

Das wegen der Corona-Krise verhängte allgemeine Verbot von Gottesdiensten löst ersten juristischen Widerstand aus. Der katholische „Freundeskreis St. Philipp Neri“ in Berlin geht vor dem örtlichen Verwaltungsgericht dagegen vor.

Dem Antrag zufolge soll das Gericht feststellen, dass die Gemeinde künftig öffentliche Gottesdienste mit bis zu 50 Teilnehmern abhalten darf. Die Gemeinde würde sich im Gegenzug dazu verpflichten, dass die Besucher in diesem Fall „beim Betreten und Verlassen des Gebäudes sowie während der Gottesdienste einen Mindestabstand von 1,5 Metern untereinander einhalten“

How EFF Evaluates Government Demands for New Surveillance Powers

Even in the midst of a crisis, the public must carefully evaluate such government demands, because surveillance invades privacy, deters free speech, and unfairly burdens vulnerable groups. It also metastasizes behind closed doors. And new surveillance powers tend to stick around. For example, nearly two decades after the 9/11 attacks, the NSA is still conducting dragnet Internet surveillance.

Thus, when governments demand new surveillance powers—especially now, in the midst of a crisis like the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak—EFF has three questions:

– First, has the government shown its surveillance would be effective at solving the problem?
– Second, if the government shows efficacy, we ask: Would the surveillance do too much harm to our freedoms?
– Third, if the government shows efficacy, and the harm to our freedoms is not excessive, we ask: Are there sufficient guardrails around the surveillance?

Neuer Erlass regelt häusliche Zusammenkünfte

„Das geht zu weit“, meinte Verfassungsrechtler Bernd-Christian Funk zum Erlass, das Epidemiegesetz ermächtige nämlich gar nicht dazu, Verbote in privaten Räumen auszusprechen, es gehe eben um Veranstaltungen. Der Verfassungsjurist sieht daher im Erlass eine „Beeinträchtigung der Privatsphäre“, wie diese nur etwa bei Hausdurchsuchungen geschehen darf.

Trump blasts 3M as company says mask demand far exceeds ability to produce them

Earlier Thursday, the White House invoked the Defense Production Act to acquire more masks with N95 respirators from 3M.

In a statement posted Friday, 3M said the White House formally invoked the act to prioritize N95 orders from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The company also said it has gone „above and beyond“ to make enough respirators available in the U.S.

3M Stock Could See a Billion-Dollar Boost from Trump

(06.03.2020)

It creates big opportunity, which is especially true for face mask companies after the U.S. Health and Human Services says the U.S. only has 10% of face masks needed for a full-blown virus pandemic. They estimate the U.S. would need at least 3.5 billion medical-grade N95 masks.

Better, the Trump Administration has plans to source millions of masks from 3M to help combat the virus threat. If so, that could generate up to $1 billion in sales for the company. Vice President Mike Pence said in a press conference:
