Like an apocalypse. A phenomenon around the globe, impacting pretty much everyone, everywhere, at the same time. The Great Coronavirus Lockdown robbed people of their freedoms and their daily lives. Shops, restaurants, playgrounds, schools. All closed. Personal contact was prohibited. Millions of people were locked in their own homes for weeks on end. Some say it came at a huge economic cost, but saved millions of lives. Others suggest the burden was so great, it actually cost lives.
"There is no glory in prevention," said Germany's chief virologist, Christian Drosten, on the steps taken to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

DW runs the numbers and asks an expert how effective quarantine was.
