Update from September 26, 2:37 p.m.:

Today, Saturday, the

CSU

meets

for Labor Party

Congress

- due to the

coronavirus pandemic,

not in person, but online.

In

his keynote address,

party leader Markus Söder

cannot avoid

devoting

himself to the latest developments in

relation to returning travelers

, the use of

masks

in schools and the increasing number of cases.

"Corona is here - and Corona is dangerous," he says and also finds clear words beyond that.

CSU boss Söder is satisfied with the course so far

"When Corona knocks at a nursing home, it is life-threatening" and "when the

hospitals are

full, it is actually already too late", Söder sums up and is otherwise satisfied with the strategy of his party over the past seven months.

Even if, for example, the number "50" - that is,

50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants

- still sounds "ominous" to one or the other, it would still be essential for understanding the

infection process

.

They should not be understood as punctual markers, but they always show that "everything that lies above can no longer be understood".

The

CSU boss

explicitly addresses the

scientific community with

a compliment

: "In this short period of time you have never known as much about a virus as it is now," said Söder, but "we have only been on the road for almost seven months and we must not speculate" he continues.

So he still expects "some nasty surprises" and some nasty complications of the

coronavirus

-

Söder

is still well known

to have taken

a different strategy than, for example,

Sweden

:

For me as a Christian this is not ethically justifiable.

And the strategy of Bavaria, the CSU and me personally cannot be to accept old, weak and sick people as dead.

Markus Söder, CSU

“But we don't want a second, general, area-wide

lockdown,

” Söder clarifies.

The consequences for the

economy

and

society

would be too difficult, especially the elderly and children would have suffered too much from the restrictions.

That is why the

CSU boss

calls for

"protection of the population" on the one hand, but also both the preservation of jobs and a "learning and teaching guarantee".

The start of school would have been a success if the

mask

in class

would reduce

the risk of infection by up to 90 percent - and would be essential so soon after the vacation period.

We do not want a second comprehensive lockdown.

The consequences would be devastating.

In addition to the economy, daycare and school must also remain open.

Children must not suffer from a lockdown.

Respect and thanks to teachers and educators.

Söder

wants to

stick to the

previous course,

he wants to constantly adapt the strategy and thereby control the

pandemic

in

Bavaria

- as best he can.

The

health service

has been upgraded,

test capacities

have been expanded and

testing

is not pointless, but rather “smart”, Söder continues.

With the

free corona tests, the

state created

a "service for the safety of citizens" so that over

6000 positive corona cases could

be detected at an early stage.

The Garmisch-Partenkirchen case shows the progress of the test procedure compared to the spring: After just under a week, many concerned citizens could be given the all-clear, reports

Söder

.

Coronavirus pandemic: joy and reason are not mutually exclusive

According to the

CSU boss,

a “difficult winter” is imminent, which is why he

demands caution

from every single citizen

.

"Restricting private instead of professional activities" is

how Söder

describes the credo of the hour.

In order not to

wake up

with a “

corona hangover

”, he admonishes not to “party”, because whenever you were more reckless - for example with alcohol - the

risk

of

infection

would also be

increased.

“Joy and reason are not mutually exclusive,” says Söder, and advocates “celebrating less extreme” in order to protect other people, such as grandparents.

At some point there will be a

vaccine

and better medication, until then there will have to be a

mask requirement and clearances

, so Söder pragmatically.

Nonetheless, everyone has the “right to skepticism and demonstration”,

but

Söder

sees the increasing radicalization and the establishment of a “Corona-Pegida”

with great concern.

Right-wing extremists

would be

much more open than ever

in the

coronavirus pandemic

.

The tone is becoming more abstruse and aggressive, says Söder and has to "take a deep breath" himself - in view of hostility and death threats against his person: "You will not live to see tomorrow" and "You should be gassed stinking Judensau", cited Söder as a few examples therefor.

Update from September 25, 7:54 p.m.:

Not only

Munich

is

struggling

with rising

corona numbers

.

Infections are also increasing in more and more neighboring countries.

The

Robert Koch Institute

(RKI) therefore regularly classifies regions and countries in Europe and around the world as

risk areas

.

This is accompanied by a

travel warning from

the

federal government

to avoid these areas.

Today the

RKI added

two countries and one region to this list.

The

entire country of the

Czech Republic

and

Luxembourg

are now considered

risk areas

.

A trip to

Tyrol

in

Austria

should also be saved from now on.

The Austrian state - which is also where the origin of the European pandemic,

Ischgl

, is located - is now one of three

risk areas

in the Alpine country alongside

Vienna

and

Vorarlberg

.

Bavaria

is thus

virtually surrounded by

corona hotspots

.

Munich: More than twice as many Corona cases as the day before - Nevertheless, the trend is turning

Update from 3:16 p.m.:

135 new corona cases were reported in Munich for Thursday (September 24).

That is more than twice as many as the day before.

The city reported 62 new cases yesterday.

In total, there

have been 11,101 infections

in the

state capital

so far.

The numbers are also increasing in schools. *

The 

7-day incidence

 for Munich is 

42.47

.

This means that the important incidence figure is further removed from the critical limit value despite the renewed increase in new infections.

This is 50.

In # Munich, 135 new # coronavirus cases were confirmed for Thursday, September 24th.

This means that a total of 11,101 infections have been reported so far.
