#CORONALEKTIONS: Three years ago, a patient in Germany was diagnosed with Covid-19 for the first time. In the following months, the virus, which most likely originated in China, spread around the world at breakneck speed. Governments were doing everything they could to stop it from spreading and scientists were working at full speed on tests, medicines and vaccines. In the first days there were many deaths, hospitals were overwhelmed and the political measures taken to contain the pandemic deeply affected all sectors of society. Total lockdown, a ban on attending nursing homes and the elderly, empty theaters and concert halls, closed schools and universities, reduced hours: the burden on citizens has been enormous. Simply returning to normal now without asking what we can learn from this crisis would be a fatal mistake, because the next pandemic is sure to come.
