It tells you a lot of the level of expertise in a country, if a physicist like Viola Priesemann previously not involved in any kind of disease modelling is able to be a significant voice in the national conversation. The 'experts' that are listened to are either numerically illiterate like Drosten or non-experts in disease control like Priesemann. Moreover the actual tools and quality of code that is used to model the situation are so far away from what would be ideal it is laughable.
