When would that be? Macron hasn't entirely covered himself in glory, either. Perhaps Merkel's scientific background was the key to successful leadership?
The sequence of events here was that hints of lockdown became more-or-less a promise, but then another week or two before actual lockdown. That gave time for organisers of events, like the three concerts I should've performed in between lockdown and now, to cancel with no recourse (despite my urging them to stare down the government and wait to be ordered). If they'd been ordered by government to cancel, that would've been an insurance claim against any losses incurred.
So naturally, I thought it was for the benefit of the insurance industry.
But I recently read that Carrie had a baby shower during that phoney pre-lockdown. Maybe the need to keep that legal was a stronger reason?
