Angela Merkel draws on science background in Covid-19 explainer
- pmdulaney 7y agoKudos to Merkel. She does indeed sound like a scientist. But I fear that she has added to the confusion. An audiovisual approach is definitely better when trying to explain the spread of a communicable disease. If the explanation must be solely by means of spoken speech, then one must get to the main point much more quickly than she does.
