Jan Hammer from Unterföhring had to quarantine in China and then again after his return to Germany. He is disappointed with the measures taken to contain the virus in this country.

Unterföhring - Jan Hammer from Unterföhring is a quarantine professional. He has been studying corona protection for three months. From January 21, the mechanic initially had five weeks of exit restrictions in China. Then his employer BMW sent him home quarantined in Unterföhring for two weeks after his return from the "endangered country". And now the exit restrictions apply in Germany. The 46-year-old takes it easy. He now has eleven weeks of experience with various protective measures and offers his friends on Facebook: "I am happy to help you with many tips."

Jan Hammer, who works as a trainer in the city of Shenyang in the east of China, where BMW produces in three factories, believes that “we freedom-loving Germans” are too relaxed about the danger: “In my eyes, a lot is done wrong here.” He loves his democratic home. And his Chinese wife also feels very comfortable in this country, he reports. "But I see that the Chinese adhered to the exit restrictions much more strictly and thus got through the crisis well." Many Chinese should have stayed in their apartment for more than 60 days.

"That is not the case in Germany."

Work was even stopped in Shenyang. China has risked the total failure of the economy to protect people. "That is not the case in Germany." The Chinese stayed at home, "they were really afraid of the virus". It was checked on the streets and fever was measured at central points.

The returnees for more consistency in Germany. "A shiver runs down my spine when I see how careless people are in Germany." He himself wears a face mask when he goes shopping. "I chose it because it's reasonable." It's like a bicycle helmet. "It doesn't protect 100 percent, but you feel safer with the helmet."

China as a blueprint for corona management?

Jan Hammer believes the smartphone app, which uses cell phone data to warn contact persons of infected people, is helpful. "It was seen in China that a lot of people were infected by suppliers and in taxis." The app had helped to slow down the virus.

At least from a medical point of view, the worst is now over in China. "Why not take over corona management from China as a blueprint for Germany? After all, the Chinese apparently managed to get the virus under control. ”From his daily calls to relatives and friends in China, he knows that the shops are now opening again,“ only the children are not yet at school ”.

In our news ticker we provide information about all developments in the Munich district relating to the corona virus.

The digital school is already advanced there. "In China, every child has a tablet, the teachers teach online, the children work eight hours a day for school." Even after the shutdown, Germany can learn a lot from China, Jan Hammer is convinced, because the next week will show how China will deal with life after the crisis.
