In March we asked Annegret Ptach whether the people at her senior citizens' meeting in Hamburg were afraid of Corona - and whether someone was infected. Now we've called her again.

Annegret Ptach

, born in 1948. Grew up in Bremerhaven.

Ms. Ptach says that she still remembers the debris fields in the area, but never had to go hungry.

As a young woman, she trained as a commercial clerk, then she worked as a saleswoman in a department store, and later became self-employed.

Today she heads the senior citizens' meeting of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt (Awo) in Hamburg-Stellingen.

"There's nothing going on here at all."
