A fair amount of details have come out in the last hour over this Covid-19 meeting with the Chancellor yesterday and early this morning (going to 1 AM).
After the agreement was worked up (agreed upon by the sixteen state premier-presidents)....it took about 90 minutes for the Chancellor and her handlers to craft the public response and announcement (at 2:30 roughly).
If you view the video of the 'talk'....Merkel looks pretty crapped-out and tired.
Years ago, I worked with a pretty competent officer while in my military period....who'd often offer wisdom over things.
At some point, there was a talk in the office over some event that had occurred late at night, and there was a talk on whether they'd say something then, or early in the morning.
As my 'boss' laid things out....you just never want to go say things late at night. You start to discuss things or invent verbiage which just isn't your 'best effort'. I felt the same way watching these individual give a little pep talk from the 2:30 AM situation.
In simple terms....if you've worked yourself up all day, and still engaged in some project or team discussion at 8 PM....you are working at your worse level. You aren't that focused, or able to concentrate on the important things. By 10 PM? Your motivation and concentration area probably 30 to 40 percent of what it was at noon.
So I don't see any of this effort by the premier-presidents or Merkel-team being quality work. It's not something that you ought to go out and brag upon.
