Update from November 27th, 9.55 a.m.:
Prime Minister Markus Söder spoke at the press conferences on Friday in the regions most severely affected by Corona that the number of infections had stagnated slightly.
That can be substantiated by the numbers from the RKI on Saturday.
The incidence for the Free State fell from 652.3 to 634.5 on Saturday.
This means that Bavaria is still the front runner among the old federal states.

The state capital Munich, on the other hand, confirms the trend of the past week and has fallen below the value of 500.
The Isar metropolis is now at 479.8.
However, the figures in the DIVI intensive register give no reason to be happy.

Dramatic corona situation: Söder fears “complete overload” and wants a radical step
Update 3:07 p.m.:
Söder excludes
mandatory
vaccination only in Bavaria. Legal certainty would be lacking here. That can only be resolved in the federal government. "But in the current situation there is no other way." Söder addresses Robert Habeck directly to make a revision of the Infection Protection Act. He is concerned about December 15, when many provisions are due to expire. A clear legal regulation is needed and "from December 15th the hotspots will be helpless". Söder is also annoyed about the frequent cancellations of talks at the federal level.
Update 03/15:
The head of the Rottal Inn Clinics, Gerhard Schlegel, addresses two major concerns to the population. People should keep their distance and reduce contacts. You should continue to be vaccinated and that you cannot avoid a general vaccination requirement.

Christian Bernreiter, District Administrator of Deggendorf and President of the Bavarian District Administrators, sends a fiery appeal to Berlin.
You can't take your time there.
Action must be taken now.

You can't watch the water rise, ”says Bernreiter passionately.
The district administrator also hopes for a better distribution of the vaccines.
Things have to go faster here.
Both Biontech and Moderna vaccines are in short supply.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder once again calls for general vaccination from the new year and a federal emergency brake
Update 2:41 p.m.:
Health Minister Holetschek speaks next. He confirms that they are trying to reactivate caregivers. He is also happy that patients can be brought to other countries in Germany using the clover leaf system. The second stage would be a transport abroad. The third stage would then be triage, emphasizes Holetschek. One must now also become more flexible in the bureaucracy. Staff must have the time to care for patients. In addition, the nursing staff must receive tax breaks. This is where the federal government is called upon.
Update 2:38 p.m .:
"We now need a clear signal from the federal government as to how we can get through the Corona winter," says Söder. The transition to the new federal government must take place faster. “Uniform regulations and no regional patchwork carpets,” the head of the country demands.

Update 2:33 p.m.:
Söder underlines the good cooperation between the district administrators, mayors and the government. Attempts are now being made to activate every bed in Bavaria. Attempts are being made to win back nursing staff. Hospitals should also receive financial support. Unnecessary work (documentation) should be suspended in order to free up capacities. It is still important to increase the vaccination rate. It needs a general vaccination from January 1st, so Söder. The vaccine distribution had to be better organized. Hotspots should get vaccine faster, the CSU boss demands. There must also be a release that pharmacies and all doctors are allowed to vaccinate.
Update 2.30 p.m.:
The press conference in Schloss Neuburg am Inn begins with a slight delay. At the beginning of his speech, Söder once again emphasized the insidiousness of the virus. "We are facing a great depression." The corona pandemic will not only rage in Lower Bavaria, but will spread to all of Germany. Bavaria is now fifth in Germany, but that is no reason to be happy. The numbers from now would be reflected in the hospitals in two weeks.
Update 1:46 p.m.:
Another press conference by Markus Söder and Klaus Holetschek will take place at 2:15 p.m.

The topic of the discussions was of course the corona crisis.

Corona in Bavaria: SPD Bavaria sharply criticizes Markus Söder's corona policy
Update 1:02 p.m.:
While Söder and Holetschek
indulge
in criticizing the traffic light coalition, the government and its Corona policy are receiving negative praise from the opposition. Bavaria's SPD leader Florian von Brunn said on Friday in Munich about the state chief: "I have ever more serious doubts whether he is suitable to lead this state." He accused Söder of "lack of plan", for example when shutting down the vaccination centers over the summer and in providing free rapid tests.
Since there are too few quick tests, but 2G plus is now almost everywhere, it is a "quasi-lockdown" for everyone. "The cause is the much too late and haphazard action by Mr. Söder and the state government." Vaccination centers have no staff, the municipalities are informed of changes far too quickly. All of this leads to massive organizational problems, said von Brunn. Söder bears sole responsibility for the social and economic consequences if further restrictions had to come in the Free State. "That is the Söder lockdown," said the SPD state and parliamentary group leader.
Meanwhile, his colleague and health expert from the SPD, Ruth Waldmann, urged all doctors - including those who are already retired - to help with the vaccination.
“Retired doctors, dentists, specialists - everyone who is allowed to use an injection should take part in the vaccination.
That is currently the most important thing! ”, Says Waldmann.

“We have to pass this phase,”
says
the CSU boss, expressing his gratitude to the politicians in the hotspot regions.
His Minister of Health, Holetschek, will speak next.
He wants to do everything to help the people in the clinics - financially too.
Holetschek would like the new Federal Minister of Health to be clarified quickly.
“It must be acted in the federal government”.
More Biontech vaccine is also needed.
Update 9.45 a.m.:
A uniform federal regulation is needed.
It is not enough to react only regionally.
"Germany is now the Corona problem child in Europe." Söder continues to criticize the future traffic light government.
There you should deal more quickly with the pandemic.
“We need a containment strategy.” He calls for a uniform federal emergency brake.
Decisions have to be made faster.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder continues to use vaccinations to fight the pandemic
Update 9.42 a.m.:
All beds must be used. Additional money should also be made available for this. The Bundeswehr should also continue to help. “Vaccinate what's possible,” Söder appeals. The vaccination centers should do the main work, but general practitioners should also be involved. The CSU boss also speaks of vaccination routes for children after the EMA approved Biontech's vaccine for five to eleven year olds. Söder again speaks out in favor of a general compulsory vaccination. His appeal to the federal government. "We actually need a compulsory vaccination for the New Year."
Update 9.40 a.m.:
Markus Söder starts his speech.
“The situation remains very dire,” he begins.
A low vaccination rate, high numbers in neighboring countries and a high number of breakthroughs in vaccination make the Free State to create.
Nevertheless, the extreme increase could probably be stopped for the time being.
Nevertheless, Söder fears a “complete overload of the health system in Bavaria and all of Germany”.
Update from November 26, 9:36 a.m.:

Corona in Bavaria: Incidence is increasing - Is there a threat of lockdown at Christmas?
According to the Divi intensive care register, 287 of the 3210 intensive care beds in Bavaria were free on Friday morning (as of 6.15 a.m.).
1021
patients are being treated in intensive care units for Covid-19.
On Thursday morning it was 539.
The CSU member of the Bundestag Stephan Pilsinger calls for strict Corona measures around the holidays in
December. "To prevent the worst, a strict Christmas lockdown is necessary for all citizens, similar to last year in Italy," said the health politician of the
"Augsburger Allgemeine".
It is imperative to act to prevent a complete collapse of the health system with many corona deaths at the beginning of next year, as for example in Bergamo last year.
Overloading the health system and intensive care units can no longer be avoided given the massive increase in the number of infections.
The time around the turn of the year is practicable: "During this holiday period, the negative effects of a lockdown to break the wave on the children and the economy are smallest," he said.
Original message from November 26th:
