Corona in Germany: General practitioner chief for slowly turning away from vaccination prioritization list
Update from April 3, 8:24 am
: "We will soon no longer have to look so much at numbers, but increasingly at people's health": General practitioner chief Ulrich Weigeldt considers a slow departure from the previous prioritization list to be sensible with increasing vaccine deliveries.
"The prioritization was and is a good guideline for the doctors as long as the vaccine is still available in small quantities," he told the
Rheinische Post
on Saturday.
So far, age has been a central criterion in the vaccination sequence.
Only particularly serious previous illnesses are taken into account.
In addition, certain professional groups such as paramedics or educators are vaccinated earlier.
"A man of 69 years with hypertension and diabetes should perhaps get the vaccination sooner than a 72-year-old triathlete," Weigeldt explained in an interview with the newspaper.
As soon as the available amount of vaccine has exceeded a certain level, it must also be a matter of immunizing all those willing to vaccinate as quickly as possible.

Corona in Germany: Hanover administrative court grants urgent applications
Update from April 2, 10:40 p.m.:
After the Hanover Administrative Court granted several urgent applications against the Corona exit restrictions, the Hanover region reacted on Friday evening.
She announced that she would appeal against the decision to the Higher Administrative Court in Lüneburg.
Update from April 2, 8:50 p.m.:
The Hanover Administrative
Court
has granted several urgent applications against corona exit
restrictions
in the region of the Lower Saxony state capital.
The court announced on Friday evening that the applicant's duty to observe the restrictions was suspended.
Everyone else must continue to do so.
In the Hanover region, leaving your own apartment is currently only permitted between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. with good reason.
In the opinion of the court, this encroachment on fundamental rights is not covered by the Infection Protection Act, which places very high demands on the justification of such measures.
In particular, the region “did not adequately demonstrate that the waiver of exit restrictions would lead to a significant deterioration in the level of the risk of infection,” the court said.

Spiegel
.
The virologist at the Berlin Charité considers a new lockdown to be inevitable, as he made clear in the latest episode of his podcast *.
It was seen in Paris and London that a partial lockdown against the more aggressive virus variant does not work.
"The incidence there has continued to rise, as has the number of serious and often fatal courses of the disease," explained Drosten.
In major German cities there is still a chance to prevent this.
"This now requires political action and the support of as many people as possible," the virologist's urgent appeal.
Corona in Germany: Virologist Brinkmann with violent accusation against politics
The Braunschweig virologist Melanie Brinkmann warned that if everything continues as before, "everyone will know people in their very direct environment who have been in the hospital, who have died and who suffer from long-term damage".
Politicians did not react early enough to warnings from science.
"We could already be at ten incidences if the politicians at the federal-state conference in January had taken seriously what we told them," said Brinkmann.
You can get the numbers down massively within four weeks if people have hardly any contacts.
"The harder everyone step on the brakes, the shorter the lockdown," Brinkmann explained to
Spiegel
.
