Germany was very lucky - this is the conclusion drawn by a SPIEGEL team that has reconstructed the previous corona policy. Hear in the podcast what went wrong and what we can learn for the second shutdown.


From shutdown to shutdown: The corona virus turned our lives upside down in around eight months and the federal government faced unprecedented decisions.

A team of SPIEGEL authors has reconstructed how the country slipped into crisis.

Who played what role in the cabinet and the state governments.

And above all: what mistakes were made.

Because from paper chaos in health authorities to schools without a concept for digital learning - some problems have not been solved even after more than half a year of the corona pandemic.

In the podcast, Martin Knobbe, head of the SPIEGEL capital city office, gives a glimpse behind the scenes.

He is one of the editors of the SPIEGEL book "Lockdown: How Germany narrowly escaped the catastrophe in the corona crisis".

Knobbe explains which failures led to the first shutdown.

And why Germany wasn't better prepared for the second wave.
