I would like to know why I should forgive and forget when it comes to Corona, but the "perpetrators" see no reason to apologize?

That reminded me of Hans Fildinger's legendary statement: "What was right then cannot be wrong today." If you don't know it, just google it. So, now we replace the capital R in "Recht" with a lowercase r (…ist recht = is correct), then the updated sentence reads "What was right then cannot be wrong today."…
