Four digits – it’s that time again. The corona autumn wave is giving more and more Bavarian cities and districts incidences of 1000 and more, there were ten on Friday, only four on Thursday and zero in the previous week. And by no means all infected people have a PCR test done and appear in the statistics. With such numbers, Markus Söder would have quickly appeared in front of the press, crisis mode. On Friday, the Prime Minister first visited Munich chimney sweeps, then the apple market in Bad Feilnbach. Corona lost its horror in October 2022 – and the relevance for the state government. The reconstruction of an amazing turning point.
