At the TV talk show Maybrit Illner on ZDF, Corona was again the topic. But the participants also discussed the automotive industry and the Bundesliga.
- The ZDF * was again about Corona *.
- Maybrit Illner * hosted Stephan Weil among others.
- The automotive industry and the Bundesliga were also topics .
The fronts are becoming clearer. Even if the government and federal and state governments demonstrate unity. But they punish the prime ministers by lying on their own. The fact that the electors from Bavaria to Schleswig-Holstein did not want to wait the two days until the joint switching conference with Berlin is a remarkable sign of political cold. A chancellor on call can obviously also be treated like a chancellor on call. That the head of government loses her face: Who cares in Munich, Düsseldorf or Hanover?
Maybrit Illner (ZDF): Helge Braun expresses concerns about easing
Lower Saxony's head of state, Stephan Weil (SPD), who joined Maybrit Illner , could not really explain convincingly why he had rushed with his easing . He called his step-by-step plan of relief and asserted that he had no intention of becoming a German easing master ”. In any case, his reference to his colleagues further south had something of a child's excuse: "It wasn't me, it was!" And Helge Braun (CDU), head of the Federal Chancellery and, as such, one of the dupes, smiled tormentedly and at least managed to wrestle it Confession of the defeat in the form that he admitted: He also had concerns about the relief for gastronomy and tourism.
But concerns do not count in the fear of politicians about the electorate. You have to offer something to that. Or, as Weil put it: there are two exponentially growing curves: infection, but also damage to society as a whole.
Maybrit Illner (ZDF): Experience with Corona shows that you can trust
This outlined the core conflict in Maybrit Illners Talk. Alongside Weil, Alena Buyx from the German Ethics Council sat on the side of those who welcome a relaxation . The professor of medical ethics refers to the security system built into Wednesday's decisions. That means “personal responsibility”. Now you have to look at the district numbers. The fact that the "upper limit of 50 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days was ignored by a district administrator in Thuringia - well ... Helge Braun (who had also pleaded for 35 infections as a yardstick) took it calmly: You could trust the Germans, as the experience with Corona * would have shown so far.

"Risky restart - who bears the responsibility?" Was the title of the show, and Maybrit Illner's editorial team had criticized the approach of politics with one player: "Everyone does what he wants and when he wants," it said about this " Patchwork of exit strategies ”. But the lack of unity was not the point of criticism of those who opposed the easing .
Maybrit Illner (ZDF): Science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar about Corona
Science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar said that one was still more at the beginning of the crisis, that one was lavishing on a condition that could be prolonged by washing. The current figures refer only to those tested. That is "shaky". Rafaela von Bredow, head of science and technology at Spiegel, was surprised that the second phase of easing had begun before the results of the first were known. It would have been shudder to push the reproductive value down much further. Science also no longer played a role in the new decisions. A "deal" had been agreed, that was almost frivolous. In summer, Corona would spread like a blanket, because "the virus travels with it".
Alena Buyx argued with the need of "desperate families" and other social effects. You couldn't say (as from Bredow): "We'll wait two or three weeks." In addition, fundamental rights would also be restricted. In any case, we would have to live with the virus until a vaccine arrives. ”Stephan Weil, who was asked by Maybrit Illner about his role in dealing with the auto industry , joined in verbatim . The smaller factories of the suppliers worried him more. In any case, the market had to be “boosted”.
Maybrit Illner (ZDF): Lobbying for the Bundesliga
Yogeshwar contested that with money for the next generation, technology from yesterday would probably be spiced up if the car companies negotiated purchase premiums. What brought the speech to the next apparently successful lobbying: the start of the Bundesliga - a grotesque decision. Alena Buyx was also critical of the maneuver, she would have liked to see more commitment for the children, but football has a strong symbolic power. And for Lower Saxony's father, comparing ghost games at Maybrit Illner with the "enjoyment of thawed frozen food". However, the childcare facilities will be expanded for the children. All areas should have a perspective.
But does the “self-responsibility” propagated by ethicist Buys work? Maybrit Illner rightly asked about the possibilities of control (which seems unrealistic given the numerous easing measures). But then Stephan Weil had a patent solution: "In the end, the citizens decide about success." Well, then politics is fine.
