Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Angela Merkel

I understand that Angela Merkel was seen today buying one toilet roll and two bottle of wine.

What can we deduce from that?

Quoting from „Der Spiegel“:

Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) has voluntarily placed herself in domestic quarantine. This was announced by her spokesperson Steffen Seibert on Sunday after a press conference of the Chancellor in Berlin.

The background is that Merkel had received a prophylactic vaccination on Friday from a doctor who has since tested positive for the coronavirus. Merkel will be tested for the virus herself several times in the coming days, Seibert continued. "Even from domestic quarantine, the Chancellor will go about her official business", he stressed.

She has announced she is self isolating as she met someone who has had a positive test for coronavirus.

Angela Merkel received on Friday the probably last pneumococcal vaccination that could be found. And as mentioned above, the doctor who administered the vaccination has now been tested positive.
this vaccination is out for most since weeks. It was recommended as a precautionary measure for everyone over 60 years. Of course this vaccination does not work against corona but it excludes a further possible strain on the lungs.
