Corona and schools: Merkel's "Whatever" is a declaration of bankruptcy

The “calamity”, to put it in the language of the Chancellor, began on Wednesday in the Bundestag.

"I also think it's right to close the schools - for example by extending the holidays - until January 10," said Angela Merkel, "or to do digital lessons or whatever."

Or whatever: with this outrageously sloppy formula, Merkel, who had just boasted of her love for physical accuracy, dealt with a core task of the state, an area of ​​life that affects 10.9 million young people and their families. And it got worse.
