The Federal Minister of Health is setting a good example: Jens Spahn (39) does without the celebrations on the occasion of his birthday. The politician turns 40 on May 16. Due to the current situation, there won't be a party, as he told the magazine "Bunte" in an interview.
"I canceled the party. It is not easy for anyone to change their everyday life and to do without things that are important to us. We all have to help our healthcare system to master this challenge," is his direction.
According to Spahn, cohesion is generally what society needs now. He also sees the corona crisis as an opportunity for future coexistence: "I am certain that if we all help, stick together and trust each other, we will overcome this crisis. And this experience will bring us together again. As a society, as a nation "as people", said the minister.
