The restrictions that the coronavirus imposes on us affect almost every aspect of life. Even on something banal like your own birthday party, they have a lot of influence and make many plans null. Former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who is celebrating his 75th birthday on April 7, has to find out now. "It is not celebrated in Mallorca, not in the Maldives – but on the terrace in Hanover at home," said Schröder of the "Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung".
He and his wife Soyeon Schröder-Kim (52) had actually planned a little trip, but nothing will come of it now, Schröder continues. There would also be a lack of alternatives in his immediate vicinity, as his "beloved inns" are all closed. Now Schröder and his wife will sit on the terrace – after all, at least the weather is good.
This is how Schröder keeps fit
Schröder also founded the corona crisis. No trips, no lectures, no laps on the golf course. The Chancellor of the Agenda keeps himself physically fit at home with weight lifting and rowing machine.
If you meet him on the street, then when walking or in the supermarket, usually with a mask – tailor-made by his wife. He knew that you weren't protecting yourself from a corona infection. However, you can protect others from what's important enough, Schröder continues.
