The third Corona summer is on the horizon: low infection rates, return to normality.
Federal Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, like epidemiologists and virologists, is already warning against writing off Corona.
Because the next autumn will surely come.
And thus potentially new topics for discussion about schools, daycare centers, masks or vaccines.
SPIEGEL science editor Rafaela von Bredow takes stock and sees three major mistakes in fighting the pandemic.
Number one: the lockdown at the end of 2020, after the first Corona summer: "He came too late and was too hesitant, according to expert estimates, that cost the lives of 50,000 people".
Von Bredow derives a task for the future from mistake number two: »We have to think more about the children.
We have to combine infection control and child protection.« And mistake number three: The vaccination campaign went wrong.
"We have to provide information and be there where the people we can still convince are."
In the new episode of SPIEGEL Daily you will hear what needs to happen so that Germany is better prepared for the fall and possible new corona waves.
