Which doesn’t sound like good preparation for the doctor Johannes Wimmer, who took part in a corona virus talk Illners on ZDF four weeks ago. With the motto “Everyone thought we were safe – but that’s not the case”, he goes on this show.

Corona virus test co-developer at Illner (ZDF): “Very steep learning curve”
In the round with a total of six experts, as expected, the coronavirus
Risk of infection *to possible Personalnot in clinics and over the tactics in dealing with the infection. Much talk time was given in this broadcast Christian Drosten, Director of Virology at the Charité Berlin. Among other things, he has that Sars virus also discovered and the Coronavirus test co-developed.
Both Coronavirus cases in Munich * there was a “very steep learning curve”, he said. Illner asked: “Is it now a matter of saving time – and what for?” Drosten relies on getting into the warm months, because UV radiation, dry weather and outdoor exercise reduce the frequency of infections. “We have to gain time in equalizing a possible wave of infections.”
Virologist raises voice at Maybrit Illner (ZDF): “And I can tell you …”
In the following sentences, his voice suddenly sounded very irritable: “I have to say honestly, this discussion that I heard here makes me quieter and quieter. I can’t say anything more. This is really completely wrong. It is a search for problems where there are none. And I can tell you, this virus will wipe out any discussion if it turns out the way pandemic influenza would. ”
Drosten continued with his anger speech: “Perhaps this is also due to the shortening in all of our discussions in today’s society. It is utter nonsense to ask whether Germany is prepared. The question is, what does Germany want to be prepared for? ”Drosten estimates that 60 to 70 percent of the German population could have experience with Corona.
ZDF talk on coronavirus: Virologist apparently embarrasses Illner briefly
However, one knows “not at all” at what speed the virus will spread, whether in a few weeks or within two years. “And any excited debates, we can now really classify them under the term ‘waste of energy’,” said Drosten, who was interrupted at this point by the applause of the studio guests.
Maybrit Illner made a mistake here. “Of course you don’t just want to get information, you also want to react,” she said, interrupted by Drosten: “And you also want to get upset in Germany.” No one in the group disagrees.
Coronvirus talk on ZDF: “Dress warmly, it will be uncomfortable”
On Vaccine* may not be approved until summer 2021, explains Drosten. But: Germany has “extremely good health structures”. Then he also agreed Wimmer at: “We are a country with many resources, we have the right mentality with the people, it is tackled together”. Even if he insists that one should have said “a little earlier”: “Dress up warmly, it will be uncomfortable.” How uncomfortable you have to look now.
At the end of the program, Drosten had visibly calmed down again and referred to the public health service, which was “branched into the municipalities” and knew the situation on site best.
