The number of corona infections is increasing rapidly: On Sunday morning, the RKI reported 11,176 new infections in one day, citing figures from health authorities. The day before it was 14,714.
In an internal change, Chancellor Angela Merkel (66, CDU) is now raising the alarm again!
According to information from the BILD, the Chancellor warned in an interview with the leaders of the parliamentary group of the Union of federal states on Sunday night: “We are facing very, very difficult months!”
Merkel was also concerned about the upcoming Prime Minister’s Conference on October 30. She “doesn’t have a good feeling,” the Chancellor said. “It can’t go on like this.” In the exchange with the leaders of the parliamentary groups, Merkel also warned: “I suppose that the number of infections will continue to increase considerably.”
According to BILD information, Merkel literally called Corona in the change of the leaders of the Union factions “visitation” and “calamity”, which no one could have imagined before.
She made it known several times that she might have heard it before, but she obviously didn’t want it to sound stubborn. Apparently, the chancellor felt misunderstood. She blamed tourists in particular for the increase in the number of infected people. “It happened because of vacation travel.” He had finally warned against that, Merkel responded to the statement by the leader of the CSU parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament, Thomas Kreutzer (61), who previously spoke of 4,000 employees in Munich alone, most of them from Turkey. o Kosovo and many of them would have gone on vacation with their families, which would pose a risk due to the increasing number of infections in these countries.
Based on information from BILD, the Chancellor also assumes that no larger events outside will be possible until at least February. Nothing will stay as it was. Merkel’s message: “Discipline, discipline, discipline”!
She did NOT explicitly use the word blocking, but made it clear that she did not believe the virus could be controlled by “simple means.” The example of Korea doesn’t work for us because data protection always interferes with us. That is why our application does not contribute so much, said the Chancellor.
Merkel expects Biontech’s vaccine to be approved in mid to late December. He indirectly warned that some regions will reach their capacity limits: “I don’t think someone in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where there is still capacity, wants to be hospitalized because it is already full elsewhere.”
Spahn and Merkel make an urgent appeal to the population
Merkel and the self-infected Health Minister Jens Spahn (40, CDU) had already made urgent appeals to the population and asked again for help to contain the corona pandemic.
“Please continue to help and don’t listen to those who trivialize and appease. It’s serious, ”Spahn said in a video posted on his Facebook page on Sunday.
The day before, Merkel had repeated her call from the previous week on her video podcast, asking people to refrain from traveling and networking. In view of the dramatic rise in crown numbers, the CDU party congress scheduled for early December, at which the successor to CDU leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer will be elected, is also shaking.
Meanwhile: Corona demonstrations in Berlin
Meanwhile, opponents of the crown protection measures gathered in various demonstrations in Berlin on Sunday. The police reported at the beginning of several hundred participants.
The Berlin police also dealt with an incident on Sunday night: according to police reports, unknown persons had attacked a building of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) with incendiary devices. Therefore, the flames could be extinguished. A police spokeswoman said political motivation was also being investigated in all directions. The institute responsible for infectious diseases plays a central role in the corona pandemic.
