Julian Nagelsmann positive for Corona!
This is bad news.
Despite the vaccination, the FC Bayern coach was caught.
It remains to be hoped that he does not become seriously ill and quickly return to where he likes to be.
At the side of his famous team, in the stadium.
Despite all the horror, there is also something good to be gleaned from the case.
Prominent examples illustrate what vaccination experts have been saying for a long time.
No fabric offers one hundred percent protection.
That is more like 83 to 84 percent depending on age.
According to the RKI, around 50,000 vaccination breakthroughs have been registered so far.
Nagelsmann's infection therefore serves as an effective warning at best.
Watch out, the game is far from over, even though this was the last impression: 63,800 spectators in Dortmund.
Almost full house, a wonderful atmosphere, the comeback of the poignant atmosphere, sport as a spectator experience.
It should go on like this.
But it could turn out differently.
Autumn, when it gets cooler and more humid, brings people together and urges them to be warm.
And together with the fresh feeling of having survived the worst of the pandemic, there is a risk of relapse.
Because, let's be honest, the annoying anti-corona rules are dealt with more loosely.
That should be at least one reason for the growing number of vaccination breakthroughs.
From a distance, it is not possible to tell whether they are related to the numerous infections in ice hockey.
But the consequences of the positive tests in the squads are alarming: The EHC Red Bull Munich and the Düsseldorfer EG are not allowed to play any games for the time being.
The rising incidence in Germany points to the next wave.
The scenario undoubtedly threatens the business of professional football.
Its lobby, the professional organization and above all the luck of the kickers indulging in an open-air sport could save football from major damage.
The professional indoor sports leagues such as ice hockey, handball, basketball, however, have to dress warmly again.
Because the TV contracts are manageable, your chances of survival depend to a far greater extent on viewer income.
Most of them can hardly afford to return to increased restrictions or even complete exclusions.
New cuts for club and school sports would be fatal even for the long-term well-being of society.
It is as good as impossible that there would be a differentiated approach there, as would have been possible in lockdown.
Popular sport does not have an effective lobby.
But maybe Nagelsmann's disease will help to recall a wise strategy in the fight against the pandemic and prevent worse things: hygiene.
