Frank Plasberg discusses the Corona topic in the ARD talk show “Hart aber Fair”: Summer will be good – but does that apply to everyone?
Berlin – After 14 months of constant Corona stress and what felt like thousands of talk shows about the pandemic, the moderator: nnen and their guests – who often seem to take charge of the various transmitter studios – are finding it increasingly difficult to find new stimuli to win.
And so we experienced Karl Lauterbach (SPD), the nation’s highest corona warning, this time on “Hart aber fair” (ARD), unusually optimistic: “I think the big time of the pandemic is over, at least in Germany, when we Don’t be careless now, and meet more outside instead of inside. ”And he had a lot of praise for his fellow citizens: inside ready:“ The population has behaved more sensibly in the last few months than some politicians. ”
“Hard but fair” (ARD): Karl Lauterbach (SPD) is unusually optimistic
All the more reason why Christiane Woopen in “Hart aber fair” (ARD) advocates slowly giving back a few freedoms to those who have been vaccinated, recovered and those who have been tested. On the other hand, she also warns against lifting the currently hotly debated prioritization and advocates a 4-pillar model:
Groups 1 + 2 of the elderly and those at risk from previous illnesses should continue to be given priority, the 3rd group should be placed in the hands of the family doctors. The third pillar should form the socially precarious neighborhoods and the young generation should be summarized in the fourth: “Even if there is not enough vaccine available, it can be divided into four groups – because especially in times when something is scarce, the The question of justice is all the more important. “
| Guests at Hart but fair | function |
|---|---|
| Karl Lauterbach | SPD member of the Bundestag and epidemiologist |
| Anna Mayr | Editor in the politics department of the time |
| Cornelia Poletto | TV cook and restaurant owner |
| Christiane Woopen | Medical ethicist and Chair of the European Ethics Council |
| Natalia Bachmayer | Head of the ARD television studio in Madrid |
| Ute Dallmeier | Managing director of a travel agency |
“Hard but fair” (ARD): Are the older people now responsible?
Times editor Mayr now sees the elderly as having a duty to give back some of the solidarity that the youngsters showed them during the crisis.
Plasberg wanted to know from Natalia Bachmayer whether this discussion also took place in Spain. The answer is a clear “no”: “The main thing is that grandma is safe”. And the question of the free choice of vaccines, which is so boiled up here, does not play a role in our most popular holiday destination. Then, according to Bachmayer, one hears sentences like: “If you don’t like the vaccine, try the disease!” Bachmayer advises us to “dare more Spain”, where “freedom” has already returned to the streets of Madrid and the conservative city government has thus crushed the opposition in the regional elections.
Discussion at “Hart aber fair” (ARD) about restaurant opening
This is of course a great step forward for Cornelia Poletto, who finally wants to reopen her restaurant: “Not just two benches in front of the door!” Because many a domestic meeting is more undisciplined than anyone visiting a restaurant accompanied by hygiene measures. We are already on the permanent stimulus topic of the “digital vaccination pass”, where we are still lagging behind, as with the digitization of the healthcare system. Why not just introduce an app with three green ticks, as in Denmark, instead of constantly hiding behind data protection? That would not only make going to a restaurant easier, but also planning your vacation.
Ute Dallmeier is very relaxed about it: “In this country it is already partially possible, in France it should work in the summer.”
However, she still sees the Dutch short vacation over Whitsun in jeopardy because of the high incidence figures, but breaks a lance on safe package tours (“Only 20% of the capacities are offered”) and the great hygiene concepts of the cruise industry yes also offer trips without going ashore. Karl Lauterbach doesn’t want to keep up with that (“I would prefer a good bottle of wine to a cruise”)
“Hard but fair” (ARD): Are the dangers of Corona correctly assessed?
Anna Mayr once again questions the escalation of the question “when can I finally go on vacation”, sees a questionable “competition in indulging”. She thinks it is more important to deal with how things are going with school and studies – and so has her doubts as to whether people really assess the dangers correctly.
In the end, much that was illuminating did not come to light on this astonishingly harmonious talk show, into which the viewer posts also fit in perfectly. But perhaps the summer wishes can be fulfilled, at least for those in the discussion, in Madrid, where Natalia Bachmayer invited her to the obligatory “final round” for a “site visit”.
