Corona alarm in the Czech Republic: numbers continue to explode - experts speak of strategy failure

The Czech Republic is one of the corona hotspots worldwide.

The numbers continue to skyrocket.

According to some experts, this is also due to a strategy failure.

Czech Republic - The numbers are shocking.

In the meantime, almost 23,500 people in the Czech Republic have died from or with the corona virus.

The country recently recorded an average of 15,000 new infections per day for just ten million inhabitants.

Since the beginning of the pandemic *, hospitals in the Czech Republic have been working at full capacity.

The dreaded triage, i.e. a decision as to which patient is treated in intensive care and which is not, is

already part of everyday life in the clinics of particularly affected regions

, according to some intensive care physicians compared to the

The Czech Republic is one of the corona hotspots worldwide: numbers are worrying

According to a report in

Tagesspiegel, there are

several reasons

why the corona virus * is particularly devastating in the neighboring Czech Republic

.

According to experts, a decisive point for the pandemic misery is the country's politics.

The government has acted inconsistently since the beginning of the global crisis.

You see critical flaws in the country's easing strategy.

In the summer of 2020, the mask requirement was lifted even indoors and on local public transport and was only reintroduced in autumn, when the numbers had already skyrocketed again.

Even at this point in time, the shops were still open.

Experts are certain: Corona easing in the Czech Republic was a "catastrophic mistake"

The relaxation of the Czech government before the Christmas holidays was also a big mistake.

The President of the Czech Medical Association, Milan Kubek, even calls this procedure “nonsensical” and a “catastrophic error”, the analysis goes on to say.

Despite the worrying extent of the number of infections, the state government of Prime Minister Andrej Babis only reacted after Christmas.

“Experts had warned in good time that thousands of people die for every day we go to pubs, to the hairdresser and to go shopping.

And it was the truth, "said Kubek according to the

Tagesspiegel

.

Too slow reaction to corona virus mutations in the Czech Republic

The Czech government has also been criticized for the slow response to the virus mutations that appeared from January and raged in the Czech Republic.

The corona mutants are more contagious than the virus of origin.

A stricter 21-day lockdown in the Czech Republic also had no hoped-for successes in the infection process.

"People are tired, they meet privately and have celebrations, go to the mountains and ignore the police who cannot do anything about it," the epidemiologist Rastislav Madar is

quoted as saying

in an interview with Czech journalists in the

Tagesspiegel

.

Lockdown strategy and financial policy to blame for the devastating corona situation in the Czech Republic

But not only the lockdown * strategy and health policy are to blame for the catastrophic situation.

According to experts, financial policy also contributes to the exorbitantly high number of cases.

Because isolation didn't mean wage compensation.

Therefore, many people suffering from Covid did not truthfully state their contact persons, as they then threatened economic problems due to the isolation, reports

Fatal behavior by Czech ex-presidents fuels conspiracy theories and corona deniers

In a negative case, the former Czech President Vaclav Klaus also clarifies the general way of dealing with the pandemic.

It was he who - before he fell ill with Corona himself - appeared at demonstrations by corona deniers and publicly positioned himself as a mask opponent.
