Mr. Drosten and Mr. Lauterbach, take a chill pill!
🥊I got death threats when I paid my respects to the German soldiers in Afghanistan and visited them!
Furthermore, I received death threats when I campaigned for the admission of war refugees - that is, I was threatened from “left” and “right” ... so don't cry now - I didn't do anything either!
Stand by your opinion - that is your right - but don't cry!
The future will tell if you are right!

In his Instagram post,
Til Schweiger
writes
that he himself had received death threats when he paid his respects to the German soldiers in Afghanistan and visited them.
“Furthermore, I received
death threats
when I campaigned for the admission of
war refugees
- so I was threatened from 'left' and 'right' ... so don't cry now - I didn't do it either!
Stand by your opinion - it is your right - but don't cry!
The future will show whether you are right! ”Posts

Til Schweiger and the coronavirus
The clear
statement also
polarizes the fans of
Til Schweiger
.
Not all followers agree with the actor's words.
One user comments: “Wow, great!
So you think it's totally okay to receive death threats!
I'm really speechless right now.
People can't stand reality and attack other people because of it.
Incredible."
This fan is also critical of
Til Schweiger's
post: "I don't understand the incomprehensibility, regardless of who is saying what, whether virologist or politician or actor, the situation is new for everyone." But there are also fans who like
the 56-year-old
agree.
“If that isn't even staged by yourself… You don't know,” said a follower or “Til Schweiger for President.” Also due to the coronavirus, everyone's darling Nena had to fight off a shit storm *.
