The current corona situation in Germany is devastating.
The number of infections is increasing uncontrollably.
An expert is now warning of overcrowded hospitals.
The
coronavirus
* situation
in
Germany
is becoming more and more uncontrollable.
A
virologist
warns for
Corona
*
before
crowded hospitals.
Second lockdown
makes sense?
Expert
gives a forecast.
Marburg - No more sugarcoating, no more appeasing: The
coronavirus
is omnipresent and it is spreading at a
worrying pace
.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported
11,287 new Corona * infections
on Thursday morning (October 22).
A new
high since the beginning of
the crisis.
In order to avoid a
second lockdown
due to
Covid-19
*
, Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) appeals
to citizens to limit contacts and
avoid
unnecessary
travel.
A
virologist
now explained in
alarming words
what is currently to be observed.
Coronavirus pandemic in Germany: hospitals soon overcrowded?
"I find the situation very
worrying
right now,
" said the head of the renowned Marburg Institute for
Virology, Prof. Stephan Becker,
in an interview with
Bild
.
In his opinion, it would be wrong to claim that the infection numbers * went up, but the
hospitals
remained empty: "Unfortunately, this is not the case because of the delay."
In the eyes of the virologist, the decisive factor is the occupancy of the hospitals and intensive care units, “because the
isolation
of corona patients requires an
enormous amount of staff
.
And that is missing in patients who
come
to the hospital
with
other illnesses
such as a
heart attack
.
So there is not only a problem with Corona * infected people, but also with normal patients, ”explained Prof. Stephan Becker.

It is important that we focus even more on integration in the face of the pandemic.
People with a migration background in particular often work in professions or employment relationships that are the first to come under pressure, said Chancellor Merkel after the 12th integration summit.

Corona crisis in Germany: second lockdown already close?
Virologist gives prognosis
A second lockdown * has already been imposed in individual regions of Germany *.
The virologist Becker is
critical of
these regional
measures
.
Particularly in
metropolitan areas like Berlin
, this could cause confusion for many citizens: "In the end, with a
patchwork quilt like this,
nobody
knows where they
can and cannot go."
He mentioned a
total lockdown
, but also replied: “We can prevent that.” The most sensible method is therefore:
wear a mask and keep your distance.
In his opinion, spending long periods of time in a poorly ventilated room with many people should also be avoided.
Not that the
hospitals
will really reach their limits
anytime
soon.
