The corona numbers in Germany are increasing dramatically.

Politicians are expecting 20,000 new cases per day soon, as has now leaked.

Are stricter, nationwide measures coming soon?

  • The number of corona cases in Germany is increasing rapidly.

    The R-value * was 1.2 on Friday (October 23).

    The second

    wave

    * seems unstoppable.

  • As has now become known, politicians are expecting numbers to exceed 20,000 infections per day very soon.

  • This ticker is updated continuously.

Update from October 25, 8:26 a.m

.: The corona forecast for Germany from

SPD *

health expert Karl Lauterbach

is bleak.

It refers talking to the

picture

editorial team here to the current urgent video appeal by

Chancellor Angela Merkel

* (CDU *) when he says: "If we do not succeed in the next two to three weeks, the

personal contacts

to limit, the numbers will have risen so much in a few weeks that we only have another

lockdown

. " 

He received an objection in the video box

(behind the payment barrier),

however, from the other invited guests

Ingrid Hartges

, Dehoga managing director, and

Andreas Gassen

, head of statutory health insurance.

Lauterbach justified his assessment with the fact that so far there has been “no study on the risk of infection in hotels and restaurants” in Germany.

“In the past few days, the impression has arisen that the pandemic is mainly being fueled by private celebrations and large celebrations.

That was probably the case at times.

But that is no longer the case.

The virus is too widespread again for that, even among the elderly, "says the politician.

Update, October 25, 6.45 a.m.:

According to the official information from the

Robert Koch Institute

(RKI), the

health authorities

in

Germany

reported

11,176

new

corona infections

within one day

.

The number has

doubled

within a week

.

Last Sunday (October 18th) there were 5587 new infections.

Corona in Germany: infections doubled within a week - R value increases

The number is now significantly

lower

than the 14,714 new infections reported for Friday.

However, the officially reported numbers are always lower on Sundays.

On the one hand, because there is less

testing

on the weekends

, on the other hand, because not all health authorities present new figures on Sundays.

Thus, could in

comparison

to Sunday, again with a Monday (26.10.)

Significant increase

be expected of Neuinfektions number.

Since the beginning of

Corona pandemic

have therefore in Germany officially

429,181

proven with the

coronavirus

infected (Stand. 25.10., 12:00).

The number of

deaths

increased by

29

people

in the past 24 hours to reach

10,032.

According to the RKI,

the

R value

, which

depicts

the

infection rate

from about a week ago, increased slightly from 1.23 to

1.36.

Statistically speaking, 10 infected people infect a total of around 14 other people with the

virus

.

Corona in Germany: information from secret banks seeps through - politics with a gloomy forecast

Munich -

14,714 new infections

with the

coronavirus

were reported on Friday in Germany - record.

But that's probably not all.

As leaked from a secret video chat of the state chancellery heads of the federal states on Friday, politicians are expecting 20,000 infections per day in Germany in October or early November.

This is reported by the picture.

This would mean an additional increase of over 30 percent.

Stricter measures could then be adopted at the next Prime Minister's Conference on October 30th.

It is currently unclear what these are.

Schools and companies should remain open, so other areas would have to be restricted.

Coronavirus Germany: hotspot strategy unsuccessful?

Are there now nationwide measures?

As the newspaper further reports, the countries

are questioning

the

hotspot strategy

.

This strategy reacts regionally to the corona numbers.

The Prime Ministers agreed on this strategy on October 14th, and since then the corona numbers have assumed dramatic courses almost everywhere.

198 districts

exceeded

the

incidence value

of 50.

It is usually no longer possible to follow up on all cases, as is the case in Berlin.

The

7-day incidence is

over 100

in a total of 35 counties nationwide

, including districts of the capital.

In the case of the record circles, the value is beyond 200.

According to Schalte, the health authorities in many countries are at their limit.

The federal states are therefore also discussing the measure of using short-time working to follow up on contacts.

The possibility of

restricting

the follow-up to

risk groups is

also an option

.

It is therefore also unclear what is

really

driving

the

pandemic

.

It is not clear whether the main distribution channel is actually via private parties, as claimed by the Robert Koch Institute *.

In many cases, the authorities simply do not know how the virus spread.
