Good evening,
is the corona situation good or bad right now?
Everyone lost their bearings a bit this week, but we're happy to help.
Let's make do with the seven-day incidence, which has gone out of fashion: It has fallen slightly in Hesse, from 96 to 91. That's pretty nice after the weeks of the increase.
We all have to get used to the other value: The hospitalization incidence is currently 2.2 after 2.5 in the previous days.
It only becomes dangerous from eight, according to the state government.
Then further restrictions threaten, but these have not yet been named.
The government just makes it exciting.

The most important question is, of course, whether restaurateurs, hairdressers and others will join in and lock out those who have not been vaccinated so that they will bow to the pressure and still be vaccinated, albeit reluctantly. Although we at the quality press always want to answer all questions the readers might have immediately, we unfortunately have to ask for your patience at this point. The rules have only been in effect since Thursday, you should at least wait for the weekend before editors patrol bars and barbers to check whether 3G or 2G still applies there. But we will hand it in later, we promise.
We here in our chic editorial office in Frankfurt's Gallusviertel are quality press because we don't just look back, but always look ahead.
Especially on Friday, because this issue of the FAZ not only deals in detail with Germany's future, no, you can also look at it,
the future, in all kinds of animated graphics that, if you have a smartphone, come across to you in three dimensions from the newspaper.
In the Rhine-Main part, for example, it is about how Frankfurt's heat supply should look like in the future.
The waste and the data centers in the city play a special role, as colleague Inga Janovic writes.
Quite futuristic when you consider that coal, oil and gas have mainly been used for heating up to now.
And in addition

“Tango dance with the dead pig”, and we don't feel like explaining what the article is about, because then the tension would be fluttering.
I wish you a pleasant weekend

The tip for the weekend
The name is a little tongue twister, but that hasn't done anything to the popularity of the “Leuchtendroter” restaurant.
The unconventional vegetarian restaurant in the Hotel Lindley Lindenberg in Frankfurt's Ostend combines design-oriented furnishings and solid gastronomy with a good price-performance ratio.
It is cooked heartily, sometimes also lush, because the kitchen does not want to do without butter, cream and eggs.
The vegan dishes on the menu show what is possible with vegetables and pulses, fruit, herbs and nuts.
"Leuchtendroter", Lindleystraße 17, Frankfurt, phone 0170/8180457, Internet www.leuchtendroter.com.
