Best German experts: Isolation was a huge mistake, no danger for a second wave of infection

The German state has taken many relief measures regarding the state of pandemic. Meanwhile, the country is reported daily to infect and victims and damages to the economy are not few. Now the question is: “needed such isolation?”

A recent German media article “Bild” has asked the question, where experts say isolation was a big mistake. Klaus- Dieter Zastrow, 70, from the Berlin Institute of Hygiena, says that protection of the mouth and nose closes the most important source of infection and thus protects not only the third parties but also the host themselves. If we apply this correctly and consistently, there is no danger. There is no danger of a second wave of the virus. It's just fantasy.”, he says.  But it requires that rules on hygiene measures and masks be implemented.

While Patricia Riekel says Germany should have followed the Swedish model. “I'm in favour of the Swedish road, with recommendations to save the” distance, She said.

Professor Stefan Homburg, director of the Institute for Public Finances at Hanover University, is more specific. He says this isolation was a huge mistake. Because the damage increases daily, isolation must be removed immediately. No one needs empty stadiums and half-full restaurants”, he says. 

At that, law professor Hans-Juergen Papier says the measures went too far and that they should be discussed broadly in parliament and in public. “typed life protection and health protection with rights protection and constitutional status on the other hand”, He says. But an unlikely statement has been made by Professor Klaus Pjeschel, a forensic expert, since it states that COVID-19 is a viral disease like the flu.
