Pandemic: what was missed in the summer

On September 23, 2020, a sentence by Christian Drosten attracted attention: "The pandemic is only just getting started".

In the ZDF interview, the most important advisor to the federal government made it clear a day later that he had already said this sentence in an interview that was "held at least six weeks ago".

That means, at the beginning of August 2020, Drosten was certain that a second wave of infections would be expected in the autumn months, which could far exceed the first.
