There's a piece appearing in Welt (the German newspaper) this morning.....where 35 German virus experts/health officials (nationally known) have said in a unified voice....they want a virus expert/health official task force/committee running the German Covid program.
Yes....dump the politicians, the state leaders, the elected folks....out of the crisis.
Odds of this happening? I'd give it a .000001 percent chance.
First, the mayors, Premier-Presidents of the states, and the 700-odd members of the Bundestag (plus the Chancellor)....aren't going to give up their 'power'.
Second, there's nothing much to indicate that the 35 health folks would be that much more cleverer or capable.
Third, I'd suggest the general public would question the intent and strategy of the health folks. Would the economy rank number one over Covid....in this type of management system?
Fourth, what if something came up and 17 of the health geeks said one thing....with 17 others saying something else, and one gal abstained from the decision?
Fifth, we might as well admit that you could pull all the coaches from the soccer Bundesliga, and put them in charge of the Covid crisis. We'd probably get just as capable leadership as the heath geeks.
From my humble view....this will be discussed for ten minutes on the Sunday night public forum (Channel One), and the general view will be dissolved rather quickly.
