In the newspaper was an article about the latest poll as to what the Germans fear (Angst).

This year's winner is not Corona Virus or terrorist or President Trump (all winners in earlier years). This year's winner is:
1. Higher taxes and fewer benefits from the State = 53%
2. Inflation = 50%

In 2016 with 52% it was Terror and the Refugee crisis.

Covid has dropped this year to range 14 with only 35%.

People were ask to rate different subjects 1 - 7. Thus more than one fear can be reported.
