"Anne Will" (ARD): Discussion about Corona regulations - "You can do without these measures"
The ARD talk show with
"Anne Will"
was hot on Sunday (September 27th).
The initial question, whether the situation does not allow to interfere less strongly with the freedom of the people, seemed to be a hit for FDP politician Wolfgang Kubicki.
“You can do without these measures,” he
explained.
And in any case you have to ask yourself with all measures: “Are they necessary, do they make sense and are they proportionate.” Mask requirement in North Rhine-Westphalia in wind force four or a dance ban for the wedding couple, despite the allowed kiss?

The chairman of the board of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Andreas Gassen, who wants to counter a general mood of alarm and panic, is certain that the more transparently the
regulations are
decided and explained, the better they will be accepted.
“If you actually take meaningful measures, then people will obey.
It's not like we have seen a
horde of unreasonable rule
violators - on the contrary, ”said Gassen at ARD.
"Anne Will" (ARD): Warning of winter and swipe at Markus Söder
Can one therefore become careless now?
No.
Despite the obligation to wear a mask, assembly restrictions and distance regulations, there is always a
residual risk of
getting infected.
"You still
can't turn your head off,
" says Gassen.
Particularly in view of the approaching winter, when people will spend more time indoors again, caution should be exercised.
But streets continue appeals for proportionate measures, warns that there is not a panacea and can get a
sideswipe
not resist.
“There are politicians in the south of the republic who give the impression that the stricter the
measures
, the safer the handling of Corona.
The numbers speak a different language, ”he says against the Bavarian Prime Minister
Markus Söder
.
“And I have to admit, when I think of the test theater, where it was said that from a medical point of view we test very uncritically and then don't even manage to follow up the tests, then you can certainly no longer speak of a successful strategy . "
"Anne Will" (ARD): Sweden under fire - "That is dramatic and very sad"
While stricter measures are being discussed in many countries in Europe,
Sweden took
a different course at the beginning of the pandemic.
The country waived a lockdown and relied on herd immunity.
But the experts at
"Anne Will"
see
no success in this.
The immunity only occurred regionally, herd immunity was not possible.
"Where the Swedes really failed is protecting the elderly," says virologist Melanie Brinkmann.
You have lost a lot of people, denounces medical ethicist Alena Buyx.
By September, 90,923 people had been infected with the virus in Sweden, 5880 had died.
About
70 percent of all Covid-19 deaths occurred in care facilities for seniors
.
The way of the Swedes is a procedure that has to be viewed very critically, according to the doctors.
The
Swedes
would
not have sacrificed
the
old people
, but they simply did not have the danger “on their radar.
That is dramatic and very sad, ”said Gassen.
“I wouldn't call it a model for success.” However, other virologists speak of signs of immunity.
