Actor Til Schweiger (56, "honey in the head") is currently in the corona isolation together with his girlfriend Sandra, his daughter Lilli and their friend. Like many other stars, he uses his Instagram channel to thank the people who fight the Corona virus on the front line and everyone else who continues to work despite the risk of infection.
"Unfortunately it's pretty shit"
"I wanted to thank the nurses, the geriatric nurses, the doctors and the general practitioners who are at the forefront anyway and express my great respect," said Schweiger. Doctors and nursing staff in particular have far too little protective clothing to protect themselves. That would "make him furious". He has many friends who work as doctors. "Unfortunately, it's pretty shit."
The 56-year-old also thanked all "long-distance drivers who maintain the supply chains". As well as all supermarket and drug store employees who are only gradually being protected. He thanked not only the people who work in "systemically relevant professions", but also all those who would continue their profession: "Thank you very much. I think of you and I think we should pay great respect to all of you", the three-minute ending Video.
It has to put its projects on hold
Schweiger had declared in an interview with the "Bild" newspaper a few days ago that the Corona crisis had forced him to put all his projects on hold for the time being. In contrast to many others, this is still financially manageable for him. Schweiger also refers to this in his video. The very long interview was "only shortened". Among other things, his expressed thanks to the doctors and nurses was not reproduced. That's why he also recorded this new video.
