Corona in Germany: Lauterbach warns of too great a hope for herd immunity
Update from April 28, 10:04 a.m
.: SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach has warned against relying too much on herd immunity in the corona pandemic. “Assuming herd immunity is 70 percent. The layman then often thinks that if 70 percent get vaccinated, the rest can no longer become infected. But that's wrong, ”Lauterbach told the
world
.
"The pandemic will not spare individuals, you will either get sick or be vaccinated," said Lauterbach.
A lifting of the measures is only possible with a high vaccination coverage of the population.
"If everyone is offered a vaccination, it doesn't mean that the bars can be as open as they were before the pandemic," he said.
"I expect that people will have to show vaccination certificates or antigen tests, at least in locations where the risk is very high."

Sharper federal emergency brake?
Baden-Württemberg is thinking about a tougher curfew - Saarland model ticked off
First report from April 27th, 5 p.m .:
Munich - The nationwide emergency brake * has been in
effect
since April 24th, which stipulates tougher measures against the coronavirus as soon as the seven-day incidence * per 100,000 inhabitants within a district over 100 on three consecutive days lies. However, there is still no improvement in the numbers in sight. According to the Robert Koch Institute *, the incidence in Baden-Württemberg was just under 200, and new infections have risen constantly in the past few days.
If there is no indication of an improvement in the situation on Wednesday either, it is conceivable, according to Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann of the Greens, "that the exit restrictions will be tightened." It may be necessary to examine whether the emergency brake measures in general should be strengthened.
"We are still fully in the Corona crisis".
Only in the summer can one hope to get the upper hand over the pandemic.
It is also conceivable to further lower the limit for school closings, which is currently 165.
Corona in Saarland: model project can no longer be implemented for the time being
In Saarland, the emergency brake has been in effect throughout the country since Thursday. As the last district, the Saarpfalz district had to bow to the measures. For the Saarland model project, which only started on April 6, this means the premature end. The model was based on the idea of using negative corona tests * as an opportunity for openings. For example, guarantors could visit cinemas and gyms if they had a negative test.
On Tuesday, the Saarland incidence rose slightly from 144.4 compared to Monday (142.9).
Among other things, the yellow Corona traffic light * had provided for an extended test obligation in retail.
Now it is probably on red for the time being. Among other things, the outdoor catering will be closed again and there will be night exit restrictions from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am.
In addition, meetings are limited to one household and only one additional person.
Corona in Baden-Württemberg: are numbers decisive on Wednesday?
If Kretschmann has its way, this could soon no longer be relevant in Baden-Württemberg. For example, it is allowed to go jogging alone until midnight. This could be deleted. It is also possible to apply the block from 9 p.m. The numbers on Wednesday could be of particular importance for the people in Baden-Württemberg.
