Germany is right in the middle of the fourth wave of the corona pandemic.
The number of infections is increasing, the seven-day incidence is over 300. The future government partners SPD, Greens and FDP agreed at the beginning of the week on legal bases for tightened measures in the fight against Corona, including a 3G regulation for buses and trains.
Many citizens should be relieved by this announcement.
A survey by the opinion research institute Civey for SPIEGEL shows that Germans are dissatisfied with the measures taken to combat the corona pandemic: around 60 percent rate them as inadequate.
The survey was carried out from November 8th to 15th, largely before the SPD, Greens and FDP announced the new restrictions.

It has been a long time since such a large segment of the population called for stricter measures against the virus.
In April, when the third wave peaked in Germany, around 64 percent of those surveyed thought the restrictions were inadequate.
The curve flattened significantly by the summer.
Another measure that is currently being discussed by politicians is the introduction of the 2G-Plus rule for events.
This means that only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered would have access if they also had a negative corona test.
According to the SPIEGEL survey, a good 60 percent of Germans would support such a measure.
Around a third are against the introduction of the 2G Plus rule for events.
