    This loss of trust in Germany's policy can also have huge economic cost. Trust is an important value when you want to make business and Germany seems to be on a road to jeopardizing this trust for short run profits of some manufacturing firms.

    Your strategy of incremental sanctions doesn’t work. Cannot work… That’s why 212 members of Parliament demand a special #EUCO meeting to decide on full sanctions immediately! My speech👇🏻

    @christianbaye13 & me have been thinking about the big differences in mortality rates so far during the corona outbreak in Europe. The differences in case-fatality rates are humongous. Italy has one of 6% while countries like Norway, Denmark & Germany have rates still close to 0.

    Warum werden eigentlich nicht alle Schlachthöfe geschlossen, wenn sie Epizentren für die Verbreitung des Virus sind? Für Schulen und Kitas hat allein die Befürchtung gereicht, um sie vorsorglich zu schließen.

    Professional news: After 13 years and hopefully, after having grown up a bit, I left @UniBonn this summer to return to my alma mater @EconUniMannheim. On day 1, my office was still pretty empty but this will change quickly & I am excited about the future. 1/5

    "Mit dem AKW-Weiterbetrieb könne man den Gasverbrauch um maximal zwei Prozent senken." Man könnte auch sagen, dass das 10% der nötigen 20% Einsparungen sind. Wenn wir also 10 mal das machen, was kaum was bringt, haben wir genug Gas eingespart. @BMWK_Econ tagesschau.de/inland/habeck-…

    Former chief econ advisor to Putin Illarionov said if Western countries "would try to implement a real embargo on oil and gas exports... I would bet that probably within a month or 2, 🇷🇺 military operations in 🇺🇦, probably will be ceased, will be stopped"

    Die USA haben an EINEM Tag mehr als die Hälfte der GESAMTEN deutschen Impfungen aus 2,5 Monaten verabreicht. Am Tag als die USA 1,5% der Bevölkerung impfte, impfte Deutschland 0,18% der Bevölkerung. 😭

    Liebe @tagesschau das ist natürlich auch eine Möglichkeit mit den Zahlen zur Pandemie umzugehen und einfach gar nichts mehr berichten. Auch keine Meldung dazu, dass in NRW gar nicht mehr geimpft wird!

    This share varies dramatically across countries. From shares below 5% in countries like France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, to cases like Japan, China, South Korea, and Italy with shares above 20%.

    Italy is surely an outlier in both dimensions and the CFR will hopefully go down in the end. However, what the graph tells us is that the structure of social interactions seems to clearly matter and that social distancing needs to regard particularly the elderly.
