In addition to Munich's top virologist Professor Dr.
Alexander Kekulé also goes to his renowned colleague Professor Dr.
Klaus Stöhr with the Corona strategy of leading politicians hard in court.
The experienced
virologist
Klaus Stöhr criticizes the
corona strategy of
the leading politicians.
The pandemic expert sees
shortcomings
in
Merkel's advisory team
.
He thinks the
closings of kindergartens and primary schools are
not justified.
Professor Dr.
Klaus Stöhr is one of the
most experienced disease experts in the world
, headed the WHO influenza program and coordinated their
research on SARS viruses
.
His words are heard by governments around the world, but not in their own country.
Corona lockdown: Merkel did not want the virologist Stöhr to be present at the crisis summit
Chancellor Angela Merkel
did not
invite
the 61-year-old virologist and epidemiologist
to the recent
crisis summit
with the Prime Minister
- although the SPD-led countries had urged it.
In
an interview
with Münchner Merkur and tz, Stöhr analyzes the
Corona strategy
of Merkel, Söder & Co.
I don't understand at all how one can curb the incidence of infections in old people's homes with further kindergarten and school closings.
Professor Dr.
Klaus Stöhr
The
closure of kindergartens and primary schools
is "to be assessed even more critically than curfews".
It must be "the last resort in absolute crisis situations - and
I do not currently see
this
crisis situation
".
Stöhr: “Such an epidemic affects risk groups, in the case of
Covid-19
mainly old people.
I don't understand at all how one can curb the incidence of infections in nursing homes by further closing kindergarten and school closings. "
Corona lockdown: virologist with a clear statement - can also deal with incidence up to 180
The
epidemiologist also
advised
abandoning
the goal of a
seven-day incidence
of 50.
“In winter, this target value is illusory, pure wishful thinking.” In the last few weeks it has been seen “that we in Germany can handle an incidence of 130, 160, maybe 180 well.
The hospitals are burdened, but not overloaded ”.
Corona in Bavaria: virologist clarifies: "Zero Covid is zero realistic"
Stöhr also strongly advised
against
a
zero Covid strategy
.
“Zero Covid is zero realistic.
Achieving this goal and then keeping it in the middle of Europe in winter for the long term is so far from reality.
I am amazed that they are seriously looking into it. "
