What to do in the Corona crisis? Anne Will (ARD) is debating this again - the guest from the medical field is neither Drosten nor Kekulé.

  • The corona crisis * continues to be the dominant topic of the talk shows.
  • Anne Will (ARD) invites Peter Altmaier (CDU) among others in her current issue.
  • Gérard Krause from the Helmholtz Center is also an epidemiologist in the group.


Update from 10:19 p.m .: Susanne Johna of the medical union Marburger Bund pleads for Germany to manufacture respiratory masks itself. Altmaier emphasizes that a lot is already on the way, but it takes "a few days for companies to switch their production to textiles and start up". The intensive care beds should also be doubled. Will that work? Will wants to know from Johna. Altmaier drives her a bit into the parade with her answer "Well, we're already improvising". The contracts are closed, but the deliveries need time.

A little later, Peter Tschentscher (SPD) added about the bottlenecks in protective clothing: "We work during the day, then supplies again - that's a nerve-racking game ." The suggestion is good to see what you can produce yourself in Germany, but: "To say that we make millions of masks with 3-D printing - it is hard to imagine as a layman."


Update from 10:05 pm: It would be "wrong" to give people a time to relax the lockdown, says Peter Altmaier (CDU). "Because the effects of the measures are currently not yet foreseeable - you can talk about the perspective in 14 days," says Altmaier.

Epidemiologist Gérard Krause is in line with him. He uses models to calculate how the virus will spread - but you can still define “no criteria and schedules”: “We really have to drive on sight”. Is it a working strategy? Anne Will asks. Krause replies hesitantly: "It is too early to assess that now."

Corona Talk at Anne Will: How hard is the crisis hitting Germany?

Berlin - "The Corona state of emergency - what's next in Germany?" Is the title of Anne Will's current talk show on ARD . Life in Germany is paralyzed by the pandemic. "At the same time, calls are already being made for a relaxation of the measures and an" exit strategy "for the emergency. Are hospitals and medical practices adequately prepared? How long must the restrictions be maintained? And what are the lasting effects of the crisis on the economy? ”Are the questions on the program website.

Corona Talk with Anne Will (ARD):

The following guests are in the studio this time to discuss these questions:

  • Peter Altmaier (CDU, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy)
  • Peter Tschentscher (SPD, First Mayor of Hamburg)
  • Susanne Johna (1st Chairperson of the Marburg Federation - Federal Association)
  • Clemens Fuest (President of the Ifo Institute - Leibniz Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich eV)
  • Gérard Krause (Head of Epidemiology at the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, Braunschweig) Short biography

ARD talk with Anne Will on Corona crisis

So far, the chief virologist of the Charité in Berlin, Christian Drosten , has been seen more frequently in the media on the subject of corona. He makes a well-known podcast at the NRD on the pandemic. His colleague, the virologist Alexander Kekulé, has a comparable podcast with “Kekules Corona Compass” at the MDR.

Gérard Krause has so far had less media impact than the two. He has a doctorate in medicine in tropical hygiene , was head of infection epidemiology at the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from 2005 to 2013 and is currently head of the “Epidemiology” department at the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research - the best prerequisites for a scientific perspective to bring into this round of talk.
