Tübingen's Lord Mayor Boris Palmer (Greens) took the federal-state resolutions to expand the contact restrictions in the Corona crisis to the court.

“I think we chose the wrong strategy in fighting the pandemic from the start.

We use the medieval method of avoiding people like the plague, ”said Palmer of the“ Fuldaer Zeitung ”.

That will be tightened further.

"I find it very annoying that we have to accept so much economic damage and loss of freedom," said the mayor, who is driving his own way in his city with around 90,000 inhabitants - including special protective measures for senior citizens.

In his own words, Palmer misses a comprehensible, evidence-based planning by the government.

“I find driving unsatisfactory in the long run.

You should actually have a plan until the vaccine takes effect or the spring comes. ”The Christmas break could be used for two weeks of real lockdown, said Palmer -“ really just to meet the relatives ”.

"That would probably mean that the numbers in January would have been pushed down enough that one could behave reasonably normally again until at least February - and then the vaccine should take effect."
