I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Welp, now I'm at home too. Had to call the doctor today because of a sore throat. Got immediately called in and presented with a week of self-isolation. Apparently doctors here are now supposed to blanket-quarantine everyone with at least an itchy throat for 7 days, to make sure it's nothing worse.

The lovely thing is, now I'm sitting at home fretting because one of my colleagues has asthma, which puts him into a Risikogruppe. Already called at work to order my other colleagues to sanitize my desk and keep my asthmatic colleague the hell away from everything I touched, just to be sure.

I'm 90% sure I'm perfectly fine, but in these times, who the gently caress knows? So I'm now sitting at home, worrying over nothing and still feeling bad. :sigh:


Edit:

Though there is a silver lining: Now I don't have to force myself through Bahn and U-Bahn two times a day. Recently I felt like a slasher movie victim whenever I had to go to work. Hopefully this means next week I'm less stressed out!

What kills me (lol Corona will do it, but bear with me) is that i can’t even sleep in like some of you fuckers because the baby will inevitably wake me at 7 sharp. This also means that I only get to play bideogames for like one hour ever day because I’m tired all the time

I feel you. My kid will wake us at 6 or 6:30. No video game playing for me as well. Can’t get drunk either ( or rather shouldn’t). At least I got someone to cuddle.

Good news, the "sacrifice your lives to Mammon, peasants" discourse has made it here: https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik...f/25678388.html

quote:

Noch tragen 95 Prozent der Bürger die Corona-Einschränkungen mit. Aber der Preis der Maßnahmen wird hoch sein. Ökonomen stellen eine hochbrisante Frage.

quote:

Doch die 156 Milliarden Euro an Rekordneuverschuldung könnten nicht reichen, im privaten wie im gesellschaftlichen Leben drohen Spannungen – und der Preis der folgenden Rezession könnte ein höherer sein als der der medizinischen Coronakrise.

This ^ is the journalist himself writing this, btw

quote:

Thomas Straubhaar hat in seinem Arbeitsleben noch nie so viel Prügel bezogen wie derzeit. Der an der Universität Hamburg lehrende Ökonom hatte es gewagt, die angebliche Alternativlosigkeit der Maßnahmen infrage zu stellen. Er schlägt einen Perspektivenwechsel vor, der aber die Zahl der Corona-Infektionen und auch der Todesfälle steigen lassen könnte.

Er fordert, die Bürger nicht durch Isolation zu schützen, sondern Alternativen zu prüfen, bei denen primär die älteren Hochrisikogruppen geschützt werden, deren Leben durch das Coronavirus akut bedroht wird.

quote:

Schätzungen gehen von mindestens 25 bis 30 Milliarden Euro Kosten für jede Woche des Stillstands in Deutschland aus. Der Finanzmanager Alexander Dibelius wirft im „Handelsblatt“-Interview eine Frage auf, die an die Grenzen der Ethik geht: „Ist es richtig, dass zehn Prozent der – wirklich bedrohten – Bevölkerung geschont, 90 Prozent samt der gesamten Volkswirtschaft aber extrem behindert werden – mit der unter Umständen dramatischen Konsequenz, dass die Basis unseres allgemeinen Wohlstands massiv und nachhaltig erodiert?

I hate it when the DAX is sad and I get less wealthy as a result. I mean, 10% of the population? Psh

quote:

Straubhaar sagt, es gehe nicht darum, Ältere in Kasernen einzusperren. Sondern darum, dass sich hochgefährdete Personen zu Hause oder in Alters- und Pflegeheimen aufhalten. Außerdem solle der Kontakt eingeschränkt bleiben.

quote:

Die Alternative wäre für Straubhaar also, eine Virusausbreitung in Kauf zu nehmen, hoffend auf eine rasche Teilimmunisierung der Bevölkerung.

It's not just economists and financial managers though:

quote:

Niedersachsens Ministerpräsident Stephan Weil (SPD) braucht sich nur die Zahlen bei den großen Arbeitgebern in seinem Bundesland, dem Touristikkonzern Tui und dem Autobauer VW anschauen. Er fordert, langsam über das Lösen der Bremse nachzudenken.

quote:

Der FDP-Haushaltsexperte Otto Fricke mahnt: „Wir müssen dafür sorgen, dass wir so viele Menschen wie möglich sichern.“ Klar, Menschenleben dürften niemals gegeneinander aufgerechnet werden. Es gebe noch genug „Pulver“, um gegenzusteuern, aber auch Fricke pocht auf eine baldige Exitstrategie.
