In times like this, it doesn't hurt that Merkel is a scientist. (She's a former professor of quantum chemistry.)
That said, as another commenter pointed out, social distancing is barely a thing here at the moment, and I expect we'll wind up in full lock down as a result.

She's not a professor and not a chemist, she studied physics. RE "social distancing": seems to be very different depending on where you are. It's pretty effective where I am, but I hear it's not in the large cities.
