Business tax revenues have plummeted by 90%. Who\u2019s going to pay the bill? Are we going back to the dark days of \u201csaving till it squeals\u201d? This week\u2019 status: Mask compliance is at about 90%. Public transport use is at 50%. Restaurants are open, but only until 10pm: they\u2019re demanding an extra hour of trading. 400 people are in hospital with the virus.

Construction of the Wippe is about to begin. The monument to reunification will be a giant moving platform in front of the Stadtschloss. Opponents are using the coronavirus crisis as a new reason to try to scrap it. What\u2019s a fair punishment for a driver who kills a cyclist? License lost forever, or just three months?
