What influence does the lockdown have on the happiness and psyche of the Germans? The sociology professor Martin Schröder has evaluated the first data. They show that the crisis has an impact especially in three groups.
Martin Schöder, sociology professor in Marburg, evaluated the "Socio-Economic Panel" on the pandemic, a survey that has been repeated annually since 1984 and in which the same people in Germany and other countries are always asked - even now, about their experiences during the Lockdown.
WELT: Mr. Schröder, are the Germans the same after the lockdown?
Martin Schröder: Compared to other nations, we have come through well so far. The British, for example, see their mental health burdened more. The values are the same as for unemployment, and that's pretty bad. Interestingly, the old are not that much worse, whereas the younger are more affected.
Corona debt: Central banks must not become state ATMs

The Green politician Antje Vollmer, Protestant theologian and for many years Vice President of the German Bundestag, is convinced that any really progressive time is pacifistic in its basic tendency. She talks about her efforts to bring Germany closer together and explains why peace is a European task - and what she misses about today's Greens.

Corona crisis: have we missed the opportunity?
How the crisis no longer brought society together, but drove it apart. And how the old countries learned from the new ones and there was no recognition. An interim balance.

At Northern Spirit Radio (Mark Helpsmeet) we avoid the adrenaline-jangling “flash in the pan” type of news, preferring instead thoughtful, continually relevant, helpful resources for making a better world. We've hesitated to allow the urgency that is often manufactured by the media machine to dictate our subject matter, but it has felt important and responsible to highlight a couple major societal upheavals on Spirit In Action, doing so without degenerating into the obsession that is the current US media norm.
Pandemic: During the COVID-19 crisis we've featured a special show from Peterson Toscano of Citizen's Climate Radio entitled Crisis Living: COVID-19 & Climate Change, which puts the pandemic in proper societal perspective, and then we sought to put the crisis in proper historical perspective when we spoke with Michael Luick-Thrams of the TRACES Center for History and Culture with a show called Not Our First Pandemic-Rodeo: 1918 & 2020. And finally, we shared a very offbeat show about an extremely alternative approach to the disease, Transcendental Medicine & COVID-19.
Racism: There has been dramatic upheaval across the country and world following the murder of George Floyd (and others), with millions of folks finally taking a good look at racism and how to deal with it. We've been engaging the learning curve with this for years, as you'll find by browsing our archives. While others are relatively new to the concern, the past 2 weeks we rebroadcast last year's Raising White Kids Beyond Color-Blind show, followed by a repeat of Healing Black & Brown Girls, when we spoke with Monique W. Morris. There's much more, completely applicable to today's issues, if you simply search 'racism' on our site.

Yesterday at 4:39 PM Inland
With summer approaching and several inter-European borders opening up again, contact researchers are facing a challenge. Six European member states currently have an anonymized tracing app, eleven will follow later. The European Union has therefore already devised a number of technical agreements to connect different national apps. The Commission announced this today.
