According to their current state of knowledge, they assume that about two thirds of Germans will “come into contact with the virus - and become ill,” said the moderator. He uses a graphic to illustrate the extent of the diseases. 80 percent, and thus the vast majority of those affected, would hit the virus very easily and easily. According to experts, 20 percent will need medical help, six percent intensive care. This six percent corresponds to more than a million people .
Drastic words in the ZDF- “heute journal“: slow down the spread
If the viruses were simply left to their natural exponential and rapid course, then they would "overwhelm doctors and clinics" and thereby put a heavy burden on the health system. Therefore, it is now important to slow the spread of the virus. The goal is to spread the unstoppable contagions of the disease over a longer period of time - possibly all year round - so that the same healthcare can be guaranteed for all sufferers.
"Then just as many people get sick, but little by little - and the events calm down," explains the moderator. And "that's why we have to stay at home." That is why "seemingly small things like washing your hands, no parties are vital," emphasizes Claus Kleber. In this way you can not only protect yourself, but above all save the weakest and sickest in our society.
