    This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system. This part of today's press conf was great, so I just added English subtitels for all non-German speakers. #flattenthecurvepic.twitter.com/VzBLdh16kR

        I remember, all throughout her first period of office I hated her as a chancellor. I disliked her party and the way she'd hold back with giving opinions and decisions forever. 20 years in and I cannot put into words my admiration for her competence, levelheadedness and backbone.

        You can continue to hate her party, though. They want to get rid of her precisely because of the qualities you mention.

        One of the advantages (I can think of others) of having a scientist in charge rather than, say, a reality TV star or a failed journalist.

        (I should add, a failed reality TV star. The ratings were bad. Really bad.)

        Caution and courage are twins... that require ‘that fine-tuned right’ dosage: (1) ‘over-reaction’ was and is the correct reaction in the COVID-19 crisis (‘over’ in sense of abundance of) 2) always remember that PEOPLE are smart; we must reassure that thought ..always... trust=🗝

        This is a leader who has insight, intellect, reason and calm. Germany is not perfect but so much more prepared &successful at keeping one step ahead. @realDonaldTrump and @BorisJohnson as amateurs, watch and learn as you two have so much to learn from a professional like Merkel.
