German state financial minister kills himself over coronavirus ‘despair’
[NYPOST] A German state finance minister took his own life after expressing "despair" over how to handle the economic fallout from coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
, an official said.

Thomas Schaefer, who was the finance minister of Germany’s Hesse region, was found dead by suicide Saturday on railway tracks at Hochheim, which is near Frankfurt.
"I have clear evidence of crimes committed by Hillary Clinton..."
State governor Volker Bouffier said Sunday that the 54-year-old had become consumed with how to handle the coronavirus crisis sending the global markets into freefall.

He said Schaefer was particularly concerned about "whether it would be possible to succeed in fulfilling the population’s huge expectations, particularly of financial help."

"I have to assume that these worries overwhelmed him," Bouffier said. "He apparently couldn’t find a way out. He was in despair and left us."

Authorities investigating Schaefer’s death said questioning witnesses led them to conclude that he died by suicide.

Schaefer was a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel
...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists...
’s Christian Democratic Union and had held his position for a decade.

#2 Alas, "He was Epsteined" doesn't appear to have the 'ring' to it to make it a colloquialism.

#5 Oh, I know exactly why he killed himself. the past half-decade had how many young-men fake their way into the country from the ME? He must have realized what was going to happen when the spice stops flowing...
