Would like to point out that Germany will allow the conditional entry of seasonal workers, and that they are not migrants, as some trolls seem to want to suggest.

Well not to be mean here. Look,s like the Hispanic people,s wanting to enter the US illegally can work in picking job,s across the globe where hard work is needed. And I'm sure they'll get good pay do to the work force and lack of picker,s. Just an idea.

The ACTUAL ARMY could do it!!

Ha ha ha. Hire Islamists stupid European 🐒

The real intention of COVID-19. To reset the world we live in and the way we have live our lives.

Save our crops!

Coronavirus crisis: Elderly may LOSE treatment in bid to save younger patientsCORONAVIRUS patients could have their treatment withdrawn in favour of saving those more likely to survive with doctors warned they may have to ration life-saving equipment, according to new medical guidance.
