Governments across Europe are closing down their countries as Covid rages.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has stressed to all 16 Länder leaders that they must all work in unison.
Premier of North Rhine Westphalia, Armin Laschet has warned of the importance of flattening the curve and there is speculation that German hospitals will be incapable of coping if Germany does not get on top of the virus.
In the meantime there is continuing nagging and barbing by many right-wing commentators that we in Ireland are overreacting. Among those who publish comment on Twitter on a daily basis is Iona member David Quinn.
One is reminded of what John F Kennedy said at Berlin's Rudolph Wilde Platz in June 1963: "Let them come to Berlin".
I suggest to David Quinn and his fellow travellers they listen to Kennedy's words. Kennedy meant them in a very different context. But David, the Germans are scared right now, as our Government is too.
What do you know that our medical professionals are missing?
