The main public forum of the week came on last night (Sunday).....the Anne Will Show (ARD, 9:45 PM). Topic? Well....Covid....probably the 60th weekly show on the topic since day one.
I'll just say for reference.....a fair number of Germans have become disgruntled over Covid....the regulation business, and governmental 'hype'.
This forum's chatter? Well....essentially, you get three dynamics if you watched the full hour.
1. Everyone in the Health Ministry is preparing for another surge in Covid....late summer.
2. The hospitals are already talking about a 'surge', with medical personnel 'burned-out'.
3. There is some belief that the government is already behind the power curve on being prepared.
But I will say this....probably from the German crowd who'd typically tune in and watch this public forum show.....probably one out of three noticed the topic and flipped over to something else. Listening to a full hour of Covid-hype....just isn't that thrilling anymore. I should also note....Ukraine-Russia war hype....also isn't that thrilling anymore.

I don't know how you do it. I tune into these public forum shows when I'm having trouble sleeping. That is why, I just read your Blog the next day to keep current. So, a big thank you and a promise to buy you a beer.
To be honest...I probably only make it through about 50-percent of these forums before I either nod off or lose interest. I'll click and browse through it the next day to get what I missed.
But from the dozen-odd forums that now exist (mostly from ARD/ZDF)...it's mostly the Sunday night forum, and the Monday night 'Hart Aber Fair' show that I care about. I've lost interest in the Covid and Ukraine forums...economic topic shows are a magnet for me though.
