You can read all the news about the coronavirus in Bavaria in our ticker.
Markus Söder * never tires of warning about the corona virus *.
He did the same on Wednesday evening.
Then he was in the ZDF panel discussion by
Markus Lanz
.
The moderator spoke to
Bavaria's Prime Minister
about his colleague
Winfried Kretschmann
, who stated
that he wanted to open at
least
daycare centers and primary schools
as soon as possible.
“We made a conscious decision to play it safe in Bavaria.
(...) We are also adhering to the decisions made in Berlin, ”he said, referring to the talks between the federal and state governments.
Unfortunately, it turned out that schools and daycare centers are also “part of a
pandemic
can be ", so the CSU * boss.
In the evening there was even a message that the mutation had occurred in a daycare center.
"In this respect, I just urgently advise caution."
Söder warns Markus Lanz (ZDF) of corona mutation and relaxation: "Dangerous combination"
Look at a good development.
On Wednesday evening, the incidence in
Bavaria was
just below 100; some time ago it was twice as high.
In addition, a few weeks ago 51 counties and cities were above the limit of 200, as of yesterday evening there were only four.
“But this mutation * really worries me.
If you loosen up too quickly and the
mutation
comes along, then it can be a dangerous combination, ”warned Söder in a talk with Markus Lanz.
You need patience now.
“If I can hook up right away.
As citizens, the incidence * of 50 was always held up, like the carrot in front of the donkey's nose.
And now we're just about to get there in many counties and cities, ”said journalist Anna Clauss.
"And the way Markus Söder is
talking about
hasty
openings
again, as if we could still be in lockdown for the next three months, I find interesting." That there is only one more lockdown * as a perspective, despite better numbers she criticized.
Corona talk at Markus Lanz (ZDF): Söder with tip against politicians - "There are many of them"
In the course of the conversation, Söder admits that he was more of a cautious and sometimes pessimistic forecast, but: “I didn't have to correct myself, not in the past year.
Others had to constantly correct themselves. ”When asked by Lanz who he meant by that, Söder did not want to name any names.
"I can't think of any of them in particular, but there are many of them," he said, giving himself a specific answer.
When it is time to
relax
, the focus is also on schools and daycare centers, "but the time is not yet." The basic problem was: "We reacted too late and then relaxed again too quickly", should now not happen.
Söder: "Vaccination is increasingly becoming a real problem"
Corona as a topic at Markus Lanz (ZDF): Söder comments on the vaccination issue and renews criticism
Markus Lanz then asks Söder about vaccinations. * “What actually went wrong?” The moderator wants to know.
"That is an exciting question *", says Söder after a moment's hesitation.
“The
vaccination logistics are
actually in Germany.
(...) Whatever vaccine is there is inoculated. "However, the vaccine * is missing," recognizable, various things do not work.
Obviously too little was ordered ”, so the accusation.
Maybe the wrong thing was ordered, too, he said, referring to
AstraZeneca.
One now has to wait for the results, whether the vaccine * is more suitable for younger people and not for older people.
In the US, Pfizer is delivering faster than planned and even ten percent more,
Söder
said
.
“Overall, it really doesn't produce a good picture,” he admitted.
Many vaccine manufacturers * would openly say that Europe ordered too late and was therefore also late.
According to Söder, it looks like a classic European award and appointment process has been carried out.
Often, the calculations are tight and the prices are paid attention to.
"In normal times this is a safe and good procedure," Söder explained in an interview with Lanz.
In
times of need
it is difficult to do so.
It is also possible that they have relied too much on individual vaccines.
Corona vaccinations: Söder expresses criticism and takes a counterattack
Söder himself would have chosen a “broader approach”, that is, he relied on numerous manufacturers and preferred to pay more.
“I don't quite get it.” For his vaccination criticism, Söder caught a counterattack from Ludwig Hartmann, the leader of the Greens, on Wednesday (January 27).
"Söder's vaccination criticism is a cheap embarrassment", so the allegation.
"Ironically, the man who has
wanted to be the face of German corona policy with all his might
since the
beginning of the pandemic
and who has pushed himself broadly in front of the microphones of the
capital's
press
when announcing new measures
, cowardly pushes himself aside when he
is supposed to
share
responsibility
what's going wrong. He is not only prime minister and, as CSU chairman, part of the federal government, but also has the chairman of the largest EU parliamentary group by hand with his party friend Manfred Weber, ”Hartmann criticized in an interview with
Merkur.de
. According to him, Söder could have worked actively to
build up
production capacities
for more vaccines in this country. “He didn't do that, but rather gave
press conferences and
Bild
newspaper
interviews
.”
