Fulda - The two researchers Karina Reiss and Sucharit Bhakdi defended their controversial corona theses in an interview *. For example, Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi says : “Even if that sounds a bit cynical: In order to get the right basis for a statement regarding the danger of a virus , you have to record the number of seriously ill people and count the deaths - not the number of positive ones Tested. "
Bhakdi continues: “The death rate is only 0.1 to 0.2 percent of the sick. So for every 1,000 people affected , a maximum of two people die. And that is exactly in the range of normal flu . Therefore, Corona is no more dangerous than influenza . "
The researcher also has a clear opinion on the subject of masks and distance rules : "There is no epidemic of national scope and therefore no reason for all these restrictions." * Fuldaerzeitung.de is part of the Ippen-Digital network.
