A year has passed since the first COVID-19 cases were reported in Germany. Meanwhile the virus has claimed more than 56,000 lives in the country. More than 2 million people have been infected. And the number keeps climbing. Over the past 12 months, we’ve had to adjust our day-to-day lives to a new reality that we could hardly have imagined before. It’s been a whole year since the prospect of a family holiday has become a remote prospect, even impossible. A year of keeping our distance from friends, colleagues – even our own families. And every day we witness the consequences of the pandemic: Restaurants shuttered, inner cities deserted. Public life has come to a standstill.
