The RKI reported more than 65,000 new infections on Thursday, Lothar Wieler speaks of an acute emergency.

A very “bad Christmas” is looming, and Germany is facing many deaths.

Berlin - The words chosen by the President of the Robert Koch Institute on Wednesday evening are clear. At an online discussion event with the Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer, the RKI boss was not only more than concerned about the current corona situation in Germany, Lothar Wieler also speaks of a bad Christmas that may be imminent in the Federal Republic.

Wieler is now calling for the vaccination rate to be increased through vaccinations in pharmacies. "We are in an emergency, and in an emergency you have to be generous with certain things," said the RKI boss. “I will now make it very clear: It must now be the end of the story that someone is not allowed to vaccinate any other professional group due to any circumstances. We are in an emergency, ”emphasized Wieler. "We need everyone to be vaccinated." There are currently many millions of people who need to be vaccinated. Then there would be the booster vaccinations. “Every man and mouse who can vaccinate should kindly vaccinate now. Otherwise we won't get this crisis under control. "



But that's not all, Germany as a whole is heading for a "serious emergency".

Above all, the 2G rules should be implemented consistently.

"We really shouldn't give those who don't get vaccinated the chance to bypass the vaccination, for example by being tested." For the next few weeks, Wieler sees a gloomy scenario in Germany: "We will really be one Have a very bad Christmas if we don't take countermeasures now. "

Is Germany facing the corona disaster?

Wieler criticizes the rapid opening of many areas

In the online discussion event, Wieler also spoke out against politics and the measures taken in the past: “That is clear language, but after 21 months I simply can no longer bear that it may not be recognized, among other things say and also many other colleagues! ”The RKI warned at an early stage to introduce appropriate measures. The RKI boss criticizes, among other things, the rapid opening of many areas, especially clubs and bars are absolute drivers of infection. Wieler also advocates canceling major events and considering contact restrictions as measures.

And indeed: the corona numbers have been rising sharply for weeks.

On Thursday, November 18, the RKI reported an absolute corona record value.

According to official information, more than 65,000 people were infected with the corona virus, but according to Wieler the numbers are significantly higher than known.

“The under-recording of the true numbers is increasing.” Behind the more than 50,000 infections that are currently registered per day, “there are at least twice or three times as many,” said the RKI boss.

RKI boss speaks of extreme death rates - "The child fell into the well"

In the past few weeks, 0.8 percent of the sick died. This means that of the more than 50,000 people per day who are currently diagnosed with new infections, 400 would die in the next few weeks. Nothing can be changed about the death of these people, no one can help them, not even with the best medical care. "The child fell into the well," Wieler was concerned on Wednesday evening.



It has been evident for weeks that the situation in Germany's clinics has been worsening.

As Wieler emphasizes, stroke patients and other seriously ill people now have to search for a free intensive care bed for up to two hours in some places.

"The supply is already no longer in accordance with the rule in all federal states," said the RKI boss.

And if it goes to Wieler, the dramatic situation should even worsen.

“As you can see, the prognoses are super bleak.

They are really dark, ”said Wieler.

“There is an emergency in our country.

If you don't see that, you're making a very big mistake. "

After the pandemic plans, the CDU / CSU and Angela Merkel's Chancellery are submitting their own Corona resolution proposal to the “traffic light”.

And she has the talent.
