The corona crisis is going to test the quality of world leaders. Who is forthright, farsighted, and has the courage to insist on radical action?
Based on major announcements so far:
Macron - Impressive.
Merkel & Johnson - Good words but far too few deeds.
Trump - Total failure.

Still very worried about France.
The country has hesitated for far too long and is still holding municipal elections.
But at least Macron is closing down schools, asking companies to take radical measures, and imploring the old to stay home.
That's way better than UK & DE.

German government now *finally* telling people to cancel as many events as possible.
Why couldn't they see a few days ahead?
Why couldn't they have done this Monday?
It would have saved many, many lives.
(And why on earth is @borisjohnson still sticking his head in the sand?)

And no, that last tweet was not hyperbolic.
Every day matters immensely.

Merkel made a decently serious personal appeal for institutions to cancel unnecessary events and for citizens to stay at home.
But she has once again failed to mandate the cancelation of events. Schools remain open for now.
Too little, too late.
The price will be high.
