Sometimes in the German news (both public and commercial), you get pieces of stories that might have good intentions, but have zero capability of selling the reader/viewer on the angle of the story.
So an example of this on N-TV this morning (commercial news).....a story being told that you should prioritize your 'worries', and worry more about the degradation of your health because of climate change....instead of Covid.
It's a hundred-line story to bring you to a sense that Covid is the 'lesser' evil. If you go up to a hundred German adults....I doubt if you could get more than a dozen to go alone with this.
But oddly enough, in the middle of this report....they bring up a study that reported by 'ScienceDirect'....which centers on bats and the Wuhan area. Bat experts say over the past hundred years....in the region of Wuhan....urbanization occurred and bats got squeezed out of their natural surroundings. So the bat population (with their contributions to Covid) ended up pretty near the human population. If urbanization had not occurred....the bats would be living pretty rural, and not messing around with humans.....at least the logic is this.
I'd say generally now....at the end of 2021....while German guys do increasingly chat on soccer standings, people on the street chat a bit on the Masked-Singer show, migrant-entry from Belarus pops up occasionally, and teenagers do get hyped-up to save the planet Earth....the number one topic is still Covid. And I doubt if this will change in 2022.
