“We have four long winter months ahead of us” and “the light at the end of the tunnel is far enough away” said Merkel, defining the coronavirus emergency as “a natural catastrophe” whose developments, she explained, do not depend on politics. Whether there are any results from the semi-lockdown that took place today in Germany “does not depend only on the rules, but also on whether they will be respected,” he added. If the contagion curve drops, it will be possible to face “December, obviously still under the rules of the crown, but with greater room for freedom”, otherwise it does not exclude the extension of the new restrictions.

“The risk range for Covid represents between 30 and 50% of our society. We are not talking about a small part of a 2% share, “specified the German Chancellor, defending the anti-Covid measures from criticism from skeptics. “Our society has a large share of elderly people”, in addition to young people with previous illnesses. The chancellor reiterated that she did not share the idea of having to separate the groups at risk from the rest of society, “while the others are celebrating”. And he added: “it is not true that we do not have long-term strategies”.
