Historic Corona moment!
NRW proudly presents the first vaccine delivery.
Unfortunately, for many Twitter users, the palette seems rather poor.
A huge truck brings the first
Corona
vaccination doses to NRW
.
It's just a single pallet.
On Twitter, users laugh at the
mini delivery
.
But some also take the politics seriously.
Prime Minister Armin Laschet takes a
position on the
video
and remains confident.
Düsseldorf - "This morning, 05:05 am: The
corona vaccine
reaches the central warehouse of the state of
North Rhine-Westphalia
and is unloaded there." The state government proudly presents the historic delivery on Twitter.
A video shows the arrival of the imposing truck from Belgium.
Corona vaccine: Twitter users laugh at mini delivery for NRW - "Would have fit in every station wagon"
With the drawer, however, many users also fold their jaws down.
So what is that?
The 40-ton truck actually only
has one pallet
on board.
"What a show.
That stuff would have fit in any station wagon, ”says a woman with a laugh.
This morning, 5:05 a.m .: The #Corona vaccine reaches the central warehouse of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is unloaded there.
From Sunday, December 27th, the vaccine will be delivered to the 53 counties and urban districts and vaccinated by mobile teams.

But not everyone can smile at the pompous spot.
“
You are not serious!
“, Bursts one of the collars,“ a giant truck loaded with a single pallet consisting of two boxes, which after unpacking are the size of five small pizza boxes?
And then
shoot
another
commercial
? ”Of course he is glad that the vaccine is finally available in Germany, but the gigantic truck in the picture is simply too much fanfare for him.
NRW state government embarrasses itself with vaccine clip: "Embarrassing, infinitely embarrassing"
“Wow, what a show”, some agree, “a
transporter would
easily have been enough
for the pallet
.” The list of small cars and cars in which users think they can transport the vaccine delivery is long.
"I get six such boxes in my upper middle class Kobi", explains one user, "why do you need a
40-ton truck
for two boxes
?"
“The video is supposed to be comedy, or”, judges another sarcastically, “It's pretty bad, but I still had to laugh.
Seriously: I find it
embarrassing, infinitely embarrassing
. ”
The countless commentators do not question
whether the truck had already loaded other freight before the video was made, or whether the special truck was
necessary
for
cooling
.
The clip for the NRW government is always a PR flop.
Coronavirus: Not enough vaccination doses?
Mini delivery unsettles users
Others are really worried about the pictures.
“I seriously ask myself whether the amount is sufficient,” ponders a woman, “even if it is the first delivery.
Our Kleve district receives 180 cans.
We have almost
311,000 inhabitants
.
And I think we have more than 90 who belong to the risk group in old people's homes. ”With this information, she cites reports from the SWR.
There are also concrete figures for the
vaccine delivery
itself.
9,750 doses
were delivered on Saturday.
They are now distributed across the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia (17.9 million inhabitants).
Two doses are required
for a
successful corona vaccination
.
Vaccine spot backfires: nevertheless, relax in good spirits - "a liberating feeling"
A small amount that
has reached
NRW
.
Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU)
also admits
to the
picture
.
Still, he's confident.
“By the time we stand here next Christmas, the pandemic could be over,” he notes, “it's a liberating feeling after all these months.”
Hope is not unjustified.
After all, deliveries are only just getting started.
By the end of the year, NRW is to
receive
another
270,000 cans
.
In January, the state government promises, the delivery volume will be
increased
to
140,000 cans per week
.
Health Minister Karl-Josef Lautermann
(CDU)
told
Bild
that the
corona immunization
in the nursing homes should be
completed by the
end of February / beginning of March
.
1.2 million people over the age of 80 live in North Rhine-Westphalia.
