Restaurants open. Stores too. And the Bundesliga starts playing again. But strict contact restrictions still apply. Is the loosening order correct?
Federal and state governments have powerful relief in the Crown crisis hitting – and therefore in parts of society, Politics and it also triggered scientific misunderstanding. Several countries announced specific dates for the opening of restaurants or hotels after it was agreed at the conference that a gradual opening of the Gastronomy it must be decided, in the context of the respective infection and the specific peculiarities of the country.
The foundation should be common hygiene and distance concepts of ministerial conferences.
Contact restrictions extended until early June
Significant facilitation, and on the other hand, the federal and state governments have those related to the crown Contact restrictions extended until June 5, although with the deactivation that the relatives of two households can meet. Now the question arises:
Is the loosening order correct?

Yes, because personal contacts are particularly problematic.
The most controversial question was to what extent personal contact restrictions can be relaxed at the Chancery on Wednesday. Angela Merkel, in particular, would have liked to allow even less personal contact. In fact, scientists also say that the greatest risk of infection does not lie in the supermarket or church. There you can minimize the risk of infection.
The greatest danger to new crown infections is, unfortunately, personal contacts and large crowds. The more people come together, the higher the risk of infection. Tracking infections is also becoming more difficult. Also, if you have been infected and have known people from four households (as possible in Saxony-Anhalt), five households will have to be quarantined.
From this point of view, loosening of personal contacts is particularly problematic. That’s why the two-home rule and nursing home visits are a compromise. Calculate that, statistically speaking, there will be more infections again.
However, the chains of infection remain traceable as long as the total number of cases is low. But as soon as the numbers increase again, all commitments are invalid. Blocking in different regions should be avoided.

No, politics is making a big mistake.
Professionals play soccer, stores sell clothing, and restaurants serve guests. We have all of this back, although not in the conventional way. But what is the use if we cannot enjoy it with friends? The loosening order is incorrect. Because the contact restrictions remain for the most part and therefore lead everything else to the absurd.
Or how does politics want to explain to us that a duel in soccer is possible, but it is not possible to walk outdoors with four friends from different homes?
The population is getting tired of the measures of the Crown. A survey by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment shows that acceptance in late April decreased compared to the previous month. Relaxation is correct. Also that the economy is considered. However, it is a mistake that these measures predate the basic human need to socialize.
If the federal and state governments do not loosen these restrictions in time, those responsible run the risk of people meeting in secret. This would also invalidate the argument of fear of a second wave of infection. What’s more, tracking infection routes would be more difficult again due to stealth.
