The corona virus is also in the broadcast of Markus Lanz always a topic. So also on Tuesday evening. Michael Meyer-Hermann, systems biologist at the Helmholtz Institute in Braunschweig, was there.
Wanted to Markus Lanz from the experts know whether we can lead a completely normal life again in the future. The systems biologist from Braunschweig gives hope, but at the same time draws a grim forecast.
Markus Lanz: Expert in Braunschweig with a bleak forecast
In order to be able to work on a normality at all without, for example, contact restrictions, you first have to reduce the number of cases – so that “we only have so few cases left that we can control them.”
According to this, 300 new cases per day are “controllable”, but between 2000 and 3000 people are still infected every day.

To reduce the number, tracing, i.e. contact tracking, could be the right way. This measure would make it easier to trace infection chains and thus further prevent the virus from spreading.
Expert sticks to quarantine and contact restrictions
In addition, quarantine measures and contact restrictions are still inevitable. “The infected people have to be consistently isolated. We have to expand and optimize testing endlessly to master the number of cases. ”

Lanz hopefully: “If we have achieved that, will normal life be possible again?”
Expert warns against rapid shots
But instead of painting a bright future, the expert warns. “I can’t guarantee that.” First of all, one has to stick to the rather restrictive measures: “It is important to prevent chains of infection. Then we have slower and more controllable growth. ”
According to Meyer-Herrmann, there is only one way to get the virus under control and to restore normal everyday life: “We have to learn to build structures in order to live normally with this virus.” (Vh)
