German expert who helped to find the SARS virus and worked on the test for Covid-19 said that up to 70% of all Germans could get in contact with the virus

He was also pretty mad about all this "our country is good prepared" bullshit by politicians who say that while also saying how hard it is for the countries to find enough medical protective equipment

What else could politicians say? "We're not prepared, you can panic now?" Certainly not.

Remembers me to about 10 years ago, when it was snowing so much and the governments were saying that they might run low on salt to clear the streets. Result of that remark: The people panicked and bought salt en masse to not run out, and because of that ran out, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Saying that the country would not be prepared would result in a rush to the pharmacies, and if they ran dry on medicine, potentially even a raid if people don't believe the apothecary staff members. They are already starting doing so for the face masks, so imagine what will happen with actual medicine.
