COVID-19 Discussion Thread

Hi,

think most mistakes were made due to the fact that no one had any real experience with a pandemic. In Germany one of the bigest mistakes from government side was in my opinion to state at the beginning that mask are not helping (only hospitals should have them) and now you have to wear them nearly everywhere. The idea to stop the general public from buying up all masks and therefore anouncing this backfired as a lot of people here lost trust in what the goverment said after this.
