The article summarizes the experiences of the first wave of the corona pandemic in the fields of economic, educational and health policy. While some policy approaches have turned out to be successful, fundamental deficits have also become apparent in some policy fields. Based on the lessons learned in the first months, the authors derive recommendations for a "second wave" and other future pandemics.
