  • 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.
