The first closure was also declared on Saturday March 14 (March). History repeats itself.
From the outside, you can see a terrible uproar over issues that affect us all. And one puzzles what has really happened in recent months when it should have been clear anyway that the second wave is giving us a terrible slap in the face. However, if you are trying to empathize with the decision makers, you won’t want to trade. Even members of the government sometimes don’t know what to do. It would be nice if you admitted it too. And don’t plan first when devastating numbers drive you. It should have been around a long time ago.
Speaking of empathy: The most terrible (sociopolitical) things in the Corona crisis include ignorance, being grounded in the mental office (which is hard to tell about), not being able to listen, and the overwhelming power of prejudice. As soon as someone criticizes a measure in the fight against the virus or questions its usefulness, the accusation immediately arises: Anyway, a corona denier! Total Nonsense: Not everyone who doubts the accuracy of the tests or incorporates this health crisis into a historical setting automatically denies the danger. Usually fear is expressed differently.
Writer (and judge) Juli Zeh last made a difference in a comment to Time between competing fundamental fears. The fear of the virus, that is, illness and death; fear of the economic consequences of fighting the virus; and the fear of the abolition of democracy in the course of the transition to a “welfare dictatorship.”
His conclusion is as clever as his differentiation: the dispute between the different fear groups can never end with a winner, it is not about who is more right when afraid.
Applied to our current “pre-storm malaise,” as KURIER titled it yesterday, that probably means we can only get out of the crisis together and out of it. That health, economic and political fears can even have the same origin. That democracy always means contradiction and that there is no correct answer. And that at the end of the day, the common good comes before the singular. Also on Friday the 13th
