Even during the cautious initial steps planned for next week, the first goal of health policy remains to further reduce the daily number of new infections: the trend is still correct, the number of new daily infections is decreasing, but very slowly. The effects of this decrease always occur with a delay in time with a decrease in the number of hospital admissions and with an even greater delay in deaths.
Rudi Anschober, Minister of Health: “The current 7-day incidence sinking slowly and included today 309.21 according to the current federal state report (a week ago still at 421.67). The cash Play number according to AGES it is from 2.12. to 0.84. The journal number New infections is with today 3,969 (and 4,470 newcomers) to 1,557 below the value of Thursday of the previous week. The other values for Thursday in November increased until the beginning of the month in 5,526, 6,995 and 9,262 new infections. However, these are still dramatically high values. “
The situation in hospital intensive care units remains very tense: today there are 668 (minus 6 from yesterday) seriously ill with Covid-19 in intensive care. Anschober: “That is still a big overload. Large hospital staff cannot sustain such a stressful situation for long. Therefore, we have to create massive decreases in the number of sick people, because postponed operations will have to be rescheduled in the coming weeks and, from mid-December, we expect the flu wave with a corresponding number of flu patients. seriously ill who also need the best possible care. “
After all, the number of daily deaths is still dramatically high in many countries, including Austria; the number of serious cases and deaths is increasing across Europe. With those reported today 92 deathsn are in the last 24 hours In the few days of December, therefore, 354 people died of or with Covid-19. In November it was a spectacular 2,075. “Our main goal is to reduce these too many deaths as quickly as possible. It would be about time that, in view of these dramatic numbers, the crown deniers and the crown minimizers, who have greatly disrupted the population in recent months, finally start to think and rethink and end their communication of uncertainty, “says Anschober.
