First report from January 16:
Berlin - The communities reported
around
18,678 new coronavirus infections to
the
Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

*
died
.
A Twitter user illustrates the extent of this number.

I hope this example makes the number of those who have died so far a little more tangible! ”The
980 corona
*
deaths

the

last 24 hours
do not reach the maximum value in the last few days.
(Thursday: 1244)

The
numbers of deaths and infections
often seem too
abstract
to really understand the pandemic, emphasized the Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx.
He explained to the dpa that it is often only through a personal life story or a death in one's own environment that “this is really about life and death, about personal fates, about hope and fear, longing and fear”.
Coronavirus in German nursing homes - does “triage” take place outside the intensive care unit?
On Saturday, a clip by
Karl Lauterbach started
a
discussion
on life and death
on Twitter
.
Thursday's video was shared and debated under the heading of triage.
As a guest at Maybrit Illner, the
SPD
politician
emphasized
:
“The people who are now
fighting for their lives
in the
intensive care unit
: Sadly, this is rarely someone who comes out of the nursing home.
Most of these people do not even come to the intensive care unit.
They die in the
nursing homes
. ”If all the people from the nursing homes were to come to the intensive care units, according to Lauterbach, the intensive care units would have long been overcrowded.
Even with the best care, people died there.
Instead of fighting for older people, you are fighting for baby boomers with high-risk diseases.
Lauterbach
already
indicates
triage in the facilities
.
While many users support the SPD politician's statement, some also put it into perspective,
equating
his statement with the term “
triage
”.
Many sufferers would already die before they manage to a hospital or to no treatment it: "I think there are also
advance directives
play an important role.
If someone over 80 does not want any life-prolonging measures, it has nothing to do with triage, ”said a Twitter user.
It is clear that the situation remains tense, falling numbers still do not provide relief.
Furthermore, new
tightening
for the
corona lockdown
* in Germany is expected.
A simulation also shows that the current measures may not be sufficient.
In order to improve the overview of the infection process,
coronavirus rapid
tests * should also be carried out by dentists and pharmacies in the future.
This emerges from a regulation of the
Ministry
of
Health
, which is available to the German Press Agency.
