It happened last week.

In the supermarket, right in front of the pasta shelf.

Charis Krüger, who suffered from severe depression, tells how she suffered a panic attack.

She started to sweat, took the noodles off the shelf without knowing if she wanted any more.

"There were those thoughts again that stick together and haunt around in my head all the time," she recalls.

You suffer from the lockdown.

Marlene Lufen wanted to let people like Krüger have their say in a special broadcast on the corona lockdown, her employer Sat.1 gave her the opportunity to do so on Monday evening.

An Instagram video by the presenter published at the end of January had previously been viewed eleven million times and commented on more than 32,000 times.

Lufen explains to what extent domestic violence, especially against women and children, as well as psychological stress would have increased during lockdown.

Lufen delivers a lot of numbers, but it also gets very emotional.

The echo contained both praise and criticism, among other things because of their handling of facts.

Nevertheless - or precisely because of this - Sat.1 gave the breakfast television presenter the opportunity to discuss these topics in the main program in the evening at 8:15 pm in order to look at the "consequences of the lockdown", as Lufen announced in advance - the "effects on the." Soul and health of children and young people, the psychological consequences for people who are just losing everything, loneliness and poverty ”.

One thing in advance: The program would actually have offered the chance to bring the needs of people in the corona lockdown onto the tableau, to have a discussion about the extent to which the consequences of the pandemic and the lockdown can be offset against each other.

It is repeatedly criticized that precisely these voices are neglected, that virologists dominate the debate.

But a balanced view of the situation does not seem to have been the aim of Lichten.

Already the guest selection suggested it.

"I'm so sad, I don't want to get up in the morning"

One of them was Alexander Löher, district student representative of the grammar schools in Upper Bavaria-West.

He reported in depressing words that he couldn't get a student out of his head.

She wrote to him that she had been awake for 48 hours - because she could not work off in lockdown.

Or how online lessons leave a lot to be desired and how he himself learns only a third of what he would have learned in face-to-face classes.

The pediatrician Karella Easwaran told of one of her young patients.

"I've never seen an eight-year-old cry in my practice and say I'm so sad, I don't want to get up in the morning," she said, explaining how isolation could affect a child's brain development.

As a result, she feared an increase in cognitive problems and mental illnesses such as anxiety disorders or depression as long-term consequences.

Her demand: “The schools and daycare centers must be opened with a step-by-step concept.

We don't have to send the children to school every day. "

What Julia Reinhardt said was also shocking.

She heads the perpetrator organization “Contra Domestic Violence” in Rhineland-Palatinate.

Her work is currently very limited, for example due to the curfew from 9 p.m.

A client who actually does not want the situation at home to escalate should not be allowed to leave the house - and also have no opportunity to stay overnight.

Measures basically okay

There was a noticeable gap in the TV program: no expert was invited who could have defended the necessity of the measures from the point of view of science and health care.

Interim remarks by Lufen, in which she states that we are in a serious crisis, that the coronavirus is "treacherous" and that the measures adopted are basically in order, create little differentiation here.

For a balanced overall picture, a virologist would not necessarily have been necessary.

In Marlene Lichten's view, they get too much attention when assessing the situation.

Even a doctor or a nurse in an intensive care unit would have been conceivable or, for example, an employee of a funeral home.

Star chef Tim Raue finally brought up the needs of companies that Lufen had not yet included in her Instagram video.

"It cannot be that we were promised help, November and December aid, and we actually haven't received anything yet, we haven't even received the advance payments," said Raue.

The chef posted a nude photo of himself on Instagram to show how bare he is - with which Raue caused one of the few laughs on the show.
