No wonder she predicted 70% of Germans would contract it. I’ll never understand how Germans select their leaders. She’s been so demonstrably bad for so long that it boggles my mind.

She should be regarded as an international hero. It’s just the flu and she was resisting giving into the panic. In fact there is a strong correlation between racist Islamaphobes and tp shortages. /s/

Horse is out of the barn, Angela
Each day you maintained free exchange with those locations
ensured more of your people get exposed.
BTW, how’s those Euro open borders doing for you?

Bit late. Germany makes a catastrophic strategic mistake about every twenty five years. Say good-bye Fritz.

Wow! Prison Camp Guard Helga a bit slow on the up take. Was she being bought off to keep the air traffic coming? Will this be her undoing or has the majority of the German population now been properly propagandized into this century’s version of the Natzi’s? Stay tuned.

China flights should have been halted by end of January. Iran should have been stopped by mid-Feb. Border situation with Italy should have been halted by early Feb. Probably over 90-percent of infections in Germany would not exist today...had they acted.

Just a few days ago, this stupid hag proclaimed that it was “naïve” to think that you could keep anything out of the country by closing borders.

I am amazed that Germany was so slow on the uptake of this virus. Closing the gate after all the farm animals have escaped is always a losing decision.

Nope.
Shes got everything ass backwards. Just when new instances of coronavirus are sharply down in China she now orders flight cancelations from China?
Meanwhile she is still insisting on her open borders for hordes of “refugees” from God knows where. Angela doesn't have a clue.

Yup.
As it is, Germany with a population of only 80 million has 6,000 coronavirus infections, while the US with a population of 330 million has only 4,000 infections.

The Krauts have gone insane. China and Iran should have been cut off months ago.

I cannot blame only Merkel
