"There is a risk of collapse": Söder no longer believes in a normal Christmas party

The corona situation in Bavaria is serious.

Corona situation in Bavaria tense: Söder asks questions on Facebook
The biggest challenge as Prime Minister has to be decided, said Söder. In July he had already said that if everyone had their vaccinations, they would be through in September. However, the vaccination rate in Bavaria shows a different picture. He understands that vaccinated people are annoyed about being restricted in their freedom. Therefore, consideration for others is all the more important. This also includes vaccination.
When asked why so few are vaccinated in Bavaria, Söder says: "Unfortunately, the south of Germany has poorer vaccination rates."
It has always been like that.
“This is also the case in Austria and Switzerland, by the way.” One would also see a difference within the Free State.
The incidences in Franconia are therefore not as high as in southern Bavaria.
In these areas there are more lateral thinkers, imperial citizens and also esotericists.
Therefore, there will soon be "a kind of lockdown for the unvaccinated".
You also have to address contact restrictions, otherwise you wouldn't break the wave, says Söder.

Questions about vaccination from the population: Söder tries to take people's fear away
Is the vaccination limited to a period of time?
Söder replies that he thinks it makes sense to limit the vaccination status to nine months, at the latest then you have to get boosters.
When asked whether one could die from the vaccination, he said: “Such cases are hardly known.
The vaccination reactions are very low. ”You don't have to worry about that.
Another asks why so many vaccinated people are in the intensive care unit.
Söder points out that the majority are still unvaccinated.
There would be breakthroughs in the vaccination, but if so, these people would usually have had an immunodeficiency beforehand, according to the Prime Minister.
A vaccination for children under 12?
“I'm for it,” says Söder, confirming the suggestion.
"One should allow vaccination for younger people".
If Bavaria can make vaccination compulsory, the next one wants to know.
“No, the legislation is up to the federal government,” replies Söder.
“What do you do to protect daycare children?” Is the next question.
Söder's answer: “We are introducing fixed groups again.
We now do a test there three times a week in order to have maximum protection. ”In the next answer, Söder does not rule out the possibility of switching to 2G for face-to-face events at universities.

Prime Minister Söder does not believe in a normal Christmas party
Another user asks about Christmas with Corona.
Söder says he doesn't think it will be "as we are used to".
The rules will have to be improved.
He supports the cancellation of numerous Christmas markets.
Markus Söder also answered a personal question.
Someone wants to know how he gets down after a day at work.
"Honestly, when I look at something that gives me pleasure".
He just finished watching the Narcos series.
And when it is “particularly difficult”, he also watches “Father of the Bride”, says the Prime Minister and laughs.
Exercising or walking the dog will also bring him down.
At the end of the live video, Söder answers the question from "heute-Show" comedian Fabian Köster.
“Can we hope that you will soon also be hugging a fir tree?” He wanted to know.
"I think it is generally important to hug trees," says Söder.
With the fir tree, however, it is much more difficult, but he will put one up for Christmas.
