Munich - The corona virus has caused a state of emergency in Germany and worldwide. Schools and restaurants are closed, football is put on the ice for now. Thousands of people worldwide died of Covid-19.
Everyone knows the virologists who keep supplying the population with new details about the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus .

ZDF “Today Show”: Oliver Welke criticizes media hype about virologists
"Virologists are our new pop stars," announced Oliver Welke in the "Today Show" issue of April 17. The showmaster devoted more than six minutes to virologists Christian Drosten, Hendrik Streeck and Alexander Kekulé , about whose current media hype the criticism centered.
Drosten & Co.'s podcasts would go through the roof, says Welke and the marketing machinery could no longer be stopped. So Oliver Welke presented a new booklet in his show . After all, the 2020 European Championship will be canceled and millions of football fans will now have to do without the well-known Panini booklets . But there could be an alternative, because Welke presents the so-called "Pandemimi album" . "Collect the pictures of Germany's coolest virologists," says the article.

Media hype about virologists: Welke presents "Pandemimi" album
There are enough pictures of the virologists of appearances in several talk shows . From “Anne Will” to “Maybrit Illner” to “Hard but Fair” - Drosten and his colleagues have been guests everywhere in recent weeks.
Another category for the booklet are the facial expressions recorded so far and "sharp photos of Christian Drosten with particularly full lips". However, the picture of Drosten shown here has been edited. The background was a contribution by the "SZ", in which Christian Droste's lips were described as "sensual".
The virologists, Oliver Welke found final words, could of course not do anything for the media hype. In any case, there are already some comments on YouTube. A user writes with a wink mile attached: “I have a glitter drosten in my Pandemini scrapbook twice. Anyone want to trade? ”Another said:“ That was the best “today show” in a long time. You have surpassed yourself. "
