A video is currently circulating on YouTube that apparently shows relaxed conditions in the Munich hospital on the right of the Isar - but it hides crucial information.
Munich - In the Munich clinics, there was sometimes a dramatic corona situation.
(tz.de * reported).
The
intensive care units
are
busy
due to the large number of
patients
with
Covid 19 disease
.
An hourly protocol showed the stressful everyday life * that the staff had to cope with due to the large amount of overtime and the high stress.
Despite the abundance of reports and analyzes on the corona situation * in German
clinics and in Munich's clinics,
various conspiracy theories are
spreading, especially on the
Internet
, * which
either relativize
the risk of
Covid-19
or even question the actual existence of the
lung disease
.
So also currently.
Munich: Video should show the actual corona situation in Munich clinics
A
video
by
Munich publicist
and radio presenter
Markus Langemann
is currently circulating
on
YouTube
, who had already
attracted attention
in the past few months due to his critical stance towards the measures to protect against the
corona
virus.
On his page “clubderklarenworte.de” he promotes “free and non-partisan journalism”.
The
recordings published
on
YouTube
show pictures that were taken in
the TUM's Klinikum rechts der Isar
- apparently secretly and therefore without a filming permit, which the
University
Clinic
also confirmed
at the request of
tz *
.
Title of the video: "Secret & disturbing pictures from the second largest
hospital
in
Munich
!"
These are supposed to be “disturbing” because they show
corona states
that are completely contradictory to the chaotic and hectic images from
hospitals
that are currently shown in the media.
“These recordings were made on two consecutive days,” explains
Markus Langemann
in
the off-
screen
video
.
"Once in the evening and the next day in the morning."
With the two
recordings
on January 14th and 15th, he wanted to "reconcile the impression gained in the evening hours with the daily business", the journalist said.
You can see pictures from the corridors of the emergency room, the pneumology department (where
lung diseases are
treated) and from the entrance area of the
clinic on the right of the Isar
.
YouTube video with dubious content: Klinikum rechts der Isar of TUM takes a stand
And indeed: "Overall, the
clinic
makes
a very calm, tidy and relaxed impression", as
Markus Langemann
comments.
He then adds provocatively: “In the locations shown, I've
personally experienced
the
clinic
as a lively, hectic place at other times - even on Sundays.” So he's right?
Isn't that
all that bad in the
corona-
ridden
hospitals
?
tz
has at
TUM's Klinikum rechts der Isar
demand.
A spokeswoman has a very simple explanation for the pictures: “Due to the
pandemic situation
, visits are only possible in exceptional cases - in accordance with the regulations of the Bavarian
Infection Protection Ordinance
.
Our protection and hygiene concept is based on this. "
And further: "This means there is significantly less hustle and bustle in the corridors, especially in the evening." Currently,
more than 50 Covid sufferers
are being treated
at the
Klinikum rechts der Isar
in
Munich
, around 20 of them in the
intensive care unit
.
Numbers made available to the public at all times.
What did the creator of the
YouTube video
expect?
Patients
lying in beds in completely overcrowded hallways?
Doctors
who run through the corridors screaming like in "Emergency Room" because a patient is suffering from cardiac arrest?
Covid-19
patients
must be kept isolated due to the high risk of infection.
And even a Markus Langemann cannot simply
walk
through the
intensive care unit
.
This department is not only
shielded
in the
Klinikum rechts der Isar
, but also in every hospital because the seriously ill patients have to be protected from germs.
Klinikum rechts der Isar of the TUM: low visitor numbers due to infection control measures
About visiting bans at Munich clinics has been repeatedly reported in the media in the run - in
video
from
Markus Lange man
but it does not talk, or is it not considered that there is a relationship between the images shown in the
University Hospital
and the applicable Infection protection measures in Bavaria could be.
Also, the publicist
does not give
the
Klinikum rechts der Isar of the TUM
any opportunity
to comment
on the
images
shown
in a corresponding counter-representation, which would have been his job as a journalist according to press law - especially in view of the fact that he was following the methodology of his industries -Bother colleagues so much.
Journalism is "blind in one eye and no longer able to see three-dimensionally," it says in his
video,
among other things
.
But at least he admits on
YouTube
: "The pictures here do not, of course, lay claim to a complete overview." The
video
was first uploaded to the video portal on Sunday (January 17th) and "was clicked by over 100,000 people by late Sunday evening" , as reported in an article by "clubderwahrenworte.de".
However, YouTube
deleted the content on the grounds that it violated the "Guidelines on Medical Misinformation".
Since then, the
video
has been
uploaded
again and again.
