one. Completely normal?
Ugh, the best that can be said about the first televised debate of Joe Biden and Donald Trump: It’s over. Have you seen the “Shitshow”, as some American colleagues call the show, in its entirety? Or did you just support the bass as a build? My colleague Wolfgang Höbel analyzes the show from the point of view of the stage critic: “The main actors in this production did not even act in the same play.”
After the debate, I felt like our former managing director Katharina Borchert, who now works in Silicon Valley. She tweeted that night: “Now I’m watching Angela Merkel’s speeches to at least have a sense of normalcy again. My therapist does the same, and she doesn’t even understand German.”
As the triumphs, johnsons, pockets of this world drift away the chancellor is already being celebrated for her skillexplain the exponential growth of a virus in such a way that high school 1 would have to understand it after an illegal corona party (here in the video).
Now the Weltgeist and the Council of Elders in the Bundestag wanted Merkel to make one of her strongest appearances the day after the shouting match in the US. (here in the video). My colleague Philipp Wittrock from our office in the capital has it General debate in Parliament He continues: “What initially seemed like a typical routine speech by Merkel turned into a very urgent appeal to the people of the country to take seriously the pandemic and the rules of the fight against it,” he says. “That the Chancellor was doing it because of her circumstances became unusually emotional, shows how great their concern is that the crown situation could dramatically worsen again. “(Read Philip’s analysis here).
Chancellor’s fear: The neglect of people increases as the number of infections increases. Your most important appointments:
-
“We are currently risking everything that we have achieved in recent months.”
-
“We still need the distance as an expression of concern.”
-
“I am sure: life as we knew it will return. Families will celebrate again, clubs, theaters and football stadiums will fill up again. What a joy it will be! But now we have to show that we can continue to be patient.” and act sensibly and thus save lives. ”
The longing for normality determines the debates in the United States and Germany. However, the German road seems well signposted to me compared to the American road.
two. The virus in numbers
With the number of deaths per crown We were already busy yesterday when the million mark jumped. My colleague Marco Evers now ranks the number in detail: “Covid-19 is killing more people this year than any other infectious disease. If the statisticians are correct in their projection for the year as a whole, then Covid-19 will be even more than three times as many people kill as HIV / AIDS and five times as many as malaria last year. “
The numbers are clear:
-
The coronavirus, which is 100 millionths of a millimeter in size, continues to advance: it currently causes more than 300,000 new infections worldwide.
-
Even all global road traffic is unlikely to turn out to be as deadly as Sars-CoV-2, with 1.3 million deaths annually.
-
Around 60 million people are expected to die this year from heart failure, cancer, accidents, viruses and bacteria; The coronavirus could be the cause in every 25 cases.

3. Where there is space, nothing explodes
My colleague Alexander Preker reports an “acute bladder risk”: Although you have just returned from vacation (hiking from the Giant Mountains), you have not tried any footwear for our travel department, but have evaluated a current study on the real estate market. Therefore, it is perhaps not the most surprising finding that Prices of houses and apartments in many metropolises so much so that fewer and fewer people can buy a property there. “Anyone who spends 6,000, 10,000 or even 14,000 euros per square meter of living space, like in Frankfurt or Munich, should be wondering if these high prices are really sustainable,” says Alex.
According to the Swiss bank UBS, the two cities are overrated like no other city in the worldFrom a purely financial perspective, of course. The aforementioned risk of bubbles is higher than in New York, Tokyo or Tel Aviv. A bubble arises when real estate prices are severely and permanently decoupled from income, economic growth, and population migration.
“Whether a bubble will develop in Frankfurt and whether it will burst should also be up to Boris Johnson – After all, more than a dozen banks want to move their headquarters to the Main because of Brexit, “says Alex.” But in times of home offices, the market could relax again. “Today, UBS continues to count on” the city for its citizens are more and more invaluable. ”

And this night?
Could you convince yourself that politics can be fun too?, at least the European. The “Parliament” series, recommended by my colleague Nils Minkmar, takes place in Brussels and is about MEPs and their entourage. No, don’t yawn now: Nils writes about this series, which can be viewed in the ARD media library, as “a comedic sensation” and praises the script as “witty.” All countries are being “fooled with the full force of available cliches.” Goes through germany Christiane paul in the race. She plays political advisor Ingeborg, a woman who always gets what she wants. For Nils, this is, of course, “a tribute to the chancellor.”
In this sense: first have dinner, then look at the stars.
See you tomorrow. To be honest
Yours Oliver Trenkamp
