Clemens Martin Auer, head of the traffic light commission, opposed the color orange on Monday afternoon, and the next day he turned around. He justifies this with a growing number of infected people.
Mathematician and simulation expert from Vienna University of Technology Niki Popper is shown in the ORF report However, the increase in the numbers is not at all surprising: “There had been a slow increase since July. Then those who returned for vacation came and now there are more indoor activities. The numbers would continue to rise, Popper says.
The expert incorporates three current measurements in his simulations:
Maskentragento contain the spread.
Limit indoor eventsto avoid super spreaders.
Third, what Tests, he Contact tracking – that is, track the contacts of infected people – and that Isolate infected people work. That has to work, because it depends on whether there will be a second corona wave.
Popper: “The deciding factor is test and track and speed, how long does it take. The numbers indicate this is not working enough. If we don’t accelerate here, we are heading for a problem.” Every euro you invest here is well spent.
Lost in the summer lead
The stoplight is “basically a good idea,” but communication could be improved, Popper says. And he let the criticisms of the politicians ring out: the edge Austria had built was likely lost over the summer. Because, as Popper pointed out, since July it was foreseeable that the figures would rise again.
