Publisher's Synopsis
The Corona virus pandemic has the world firmly in its grip. However, the global lockdown has enormous consequences - not only for the global economy, but most especially for everyone's mental health. This guidebook clarifies what is really gained by this shutdown of the society. The consequences of this shutdown could even be more dramatic for people and families. Contrast this with the dubious benefits of the measures. Despite massive restrictions on freedom of movement, curfews, forced closures of large parts of the economy, and the ubiquitous need to wear masks and disinfect, successes are a long time coming. The much-vaunted incidence rate simply won't go down, while infection rates stay at a consistently high level. This is not only driving innkeepers, shopkeepers and entertainers to sheer despair. Even the people who are healthy are suffering from the government's measures. However, if one looks at what is really gained by this, the question arises whether it is worth it. Is it really economically and ethically justifiable to prolong the lives of people over 80 for a few months at this price, while depriving teenagers and young adults of their freedom? As ethically and morally venerable as the government's claims may be, enormous opportunities are being wasted on the other hand. Isn't the overpopulation and aging of society one of the most pressing problems we have to deal with in Germany anyway - and, for that matter, in all of Europe? On the other hand, we have overflowing women's shelters of refugee wives whose husbands could no longer withstand the pressure. And then the children. The age group with the lowest infection rate of all suffers the most and will have to deal with the consequences the longest. And all this just so that many thousands of old people can live a few days longer? This eBook puts quite provocatively a finger into the wound of the questions which nobody dares to ask. With clear facts, the author explains how the corona epidemic really is. Thus, every reader can make his own picture of the situation.
