Germany after Schröeder might have. Hell, Germany after Kohl could have as long as it didn’t involve installing internet infrastructure.
But Germany after a decade and a half of Merkel…forget about anything getting done.
> “In the almost 25 years I’ve been doing this, I’ve never seen a case where a politician has been punished for acting too much or too quickly,” said Roselieb, who suspects that many leaders are doing nothing because that the stigma of the pandemic will stick to them by bringing bad news. “Punishment has come to those who have thrown up their hands and said, ‘It’ll be fine.’ Therefore, every politician is actually quite well advised to do too much rather than too little in times of crisis and disaster.”
We should really hit our politicians with this one over and over until they get it.
I don’t think any western country would accept a proper lockdown at this point. To be the only country going so far backwards would be a bitter pill to swallow. So countries have to rely on vaccinations, which germans refuse to take for some reason. Especially embarrassing since the most common vaccine was literally invented there.
Vaccines don’t really work and we can’t lock down every winter, I don’t know what else we can do at this point.
