Complexity researcher Peter Klimek explained in an analysis how a second lockdown in Austria can be prevented.
The rumor mill has been boiling over another shutdown in Austria for weeks! In view of the rapidly increasing numbers, there is also growing uncertainty among the population. The Health Ministry (so far) has always rejected rumors, but according to “ZiB” internal policy director Hans Bürger, the government is planning a second lockdown.
“The government has been playing with various concepts for many weeks and days.” And what you hear, two concepts emerge, “Bürger said recently. There is talk of a” soft “lockdown, which” could start on November 2 “. Or on November 16, all for two or three weeks.” Yes. Crown situation in the country does not improve, the blockade could look more acute.
“If it really escalates, it can lead to a hard lockdown, as we’ve known it from the spring,” Bürger said. But what should or can Austria do to avoid such a scenario? Complexity researcher Peter Klimek has published an analysis and explains what is important now.
“Education and transparency instead of threats and prohibitions”
“A second confinement can be avoided if the population accepts restrictions such as hygiene and keeping their distance, but also refrains as much as possible from risky activities that are now known, such as private celebrations,” says the study.
Additionally, the federal government should “work with education, transparency, and recommendations rather than threats and bans.” An uncontrolled spread of Covid-19 could still lead to a healthcare system overload. “We would get to this point with about 4,700 to 7,800 new infections a day,” Klimek explains.
With nearly 900 new cases per day in an average of 14 days, this is still a long way off, but that growth in a few weeks and months cannot be ruled out.
