Federal-state consultations: Doctors: inside want to pull the Corona emergency brake
On Friday evening,
Angela Merkel
(CDU) pointed out the "
emergency brake
" that the federal and state governments had jointly decided on and
applies
from a
7-day incidence
of 100.
"Unfortunately, we will also have to make use of this", announced the Chancellor after the Corona vaccination summit.
“I would have wished that we could do without this
emergency brake
, but that won't be possible when I look at the development of the last few days.” The latest easing has to be reversed due to the exponential increase in the number of infections.
The following morning, the Robert Koch Institute (
RKI
) reported 16,033
new corona infections
and 2017 deaths related to
Covid-19
.
Last Saturday there were 12,674 new cases.
Within a week, the
incidence
for Germany rose from 76.1 to 99.9.
The trend is clearly upwards.
Experts such as SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach (SPD) or virologist Christian Drosten warn of the third wave, which is being
accelerated
in particular by the
corona mutants
*.

Corona summit: intensive care physicians: inside want "return to the lockdown of February"
Susanne Johna, the head of the Marburger Bund Doctors' Association, also demands that the
Corona emergency brake be
pulled: "There must be no exceptions," she told the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung".
“I expect an even more critical situation from Easter than at the turn of the year.” The capacity buffer in the intensive care units “will melt away rapidly,” she warned.
“It was irresponsible to loosen up in this way into the third wave and the spread of the mutants.” The clinics are now threatened with the “third extreme situation within a year”.
Even intensive care physicians are calling for intervention.
Otherwise the nationwide
incidence
value could
rise to 200.
More patients: inside the intensive care units would be the result.
“From our point of view, there can only be a return to the
lockdown
of February,” said Gernot Marx, President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (Divi), the “Augsburger Allgemeine”.
Corona summit: Federal and state governments are discussing "emergency brakes" and easing
Politicians are divided
on the question of whether there should be further
easing
or restrictions.
Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) currently sees no opportunity for easing.
The
emergency brake
must apply “consistently” and “for everyone”, he told the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung”.
Malu Dreyer (SPD), Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, wants to advertise regional solutions at the federal-state conference.
In model municipalities or districts with an
incidence
below 100, which can demonstrate a complete test and contact recording system, outdoor restaurants, culture and retail should
be able to open up
to customers with a daily
Corona
test, she told the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung".
She wanted to
adhere to the
Corona step-by-step plan
that the federal and state governments decided on March 3.
However, compliance with the agreed "
emergency brake
" from an
incidence
of 100 remains the condition.
It is "a compulsory element of the plan as well as testing and vaccination".
Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) emphasizes that one must expect that certain
easing
“will be withdrawn and tightened”.
Thuringia's head of state Bodo Ramelow (left) also said the "dpa": "Without contact tracking and testing, I am not in favor of opening, I am for nothing." Thuringia has the highest
incidence of
the corona pandemic nationwide
.
