of 14.[13]COVID-19 pandemic
The Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk produces the Podcast Kekulé's Corona Compass on weekdays.[14]
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kekulé expressed publicly on several occasions that Germany was not sufficiently prepared for a possible epidemic.[15] While he initially thought that the virus did not pose a major threat,[16] he later called for much stricter measures to combat the epidemic, such as interventions at German airports.[17] With the beginning of the epidemic in Germany, Kekulé emphatically advocated his demand for two-week "corona holidays" for schools and kindergartens, which was implemented from Monday, March 16, 2020. Major events should all be cancelled and domestic travel within Germany should be reduced to a minimum. He also warned against "super horror scenarios" regarding the spread of COVID-19 in Germany.[18]
On April 11, 2020, The Daily Telegraph quoted Kekulé as saying that the German people should "infect the young and isolate those at risk". He said that the lockdown is "in danger of going on too long and causing more damage than the virus". He was interviewed and said that:[19]
It's impossible to wait for a vaccine... If we did that our society and our culture would be ruined.
