Hamburg: UKE postpones many non-urgent operations
Due to the increasing number of corona intensive care patients, the Hamburg-Eppendorf University Medical Center (UKE) is currently postponing around 40 non-urgent operations per day. That’s about one in three such interventions, a spokeswoman said. These include obesity operations, the treatment of hernias, jaw corrections or operations for benign diagnoses such as thyroid dysfunction. “UKE is reacting to the dynamic and dire situation,” the spokeswoman said. The Asklepios clinics, which treat about 60 percent of Hamburg’s crown patients in their seven homes, have yet to make any arrangements to postpone operations. However, in some cases, patient interventions were rescheduled for a later appointment, an Asklepios spokesman said.

Christmas tree growers are restless
Will more Christmas trees be ordered this year? Or less? The Christmas tree industry is unstable. Because the corona virus has changed everything, presumably also consumer behavior at Christmas. A report from a family business in Lower Saxony:

Those responsible for culture appeal to Tschentscher and Merkel
In an open letter to Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD), heads of Hamburg’s main cultural institutions have called for a greater commitment to culture in the Crown crisis. Tschentscher should campaign in meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) on Monday to ensure that cultural and educational institutions reopen. It cannot be that shopping in department stores outweighs the offer of education, art and culture. In addition, a lot of time and energy was used during the first confinement to allow cultural experiences to be safe. Therefore, culture must be treated like churches and other religious communities, demand cultural workers.

The Hamburg vaccination center should be ready for use by mid-December
Preparations for corona virus vaccines are in full swing in Hamburg. The logistics for this should be ready for use by mid-December, as NDR 90.3 learned from Senate circles. There should be a central vaccination center in the city. Showrooms have been debated for a long time. In addition, mobile vaccination teams will be used, for example, in nursing homes. However, it is not yet clear who will be vaccinated and when.

The crown crisis hits the poorest especially
According to the latest report by the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, Bremen is at the bottom of the list in terms of the poverty rate among the federal states. In the north, Schleswig-Holstein performs better in the country comparison. The association warned that the effects of the Crown crisis will markedly exacerbate poverty and social inequality.

Will the partial “lockdown” be extended?
Next Wednesday, the federal-state group wants to decide how to proceed in the corona pandemic and what protection measures should be applied in the coming weeks. At the moment, it appears that a relaxation is not expected any time soon. According to media information, citing groups of countries, the applicable measures could be extended until just before Christmas. This is what “Berliner Morgenpost”, “Tagesspiegel” and “Business Insider” report. Restaurants, cultural and leisure facilities are likely to remain closed. Stores, on the other hand, should obviously be able to keep opening during the Christmas business that is important to them. Depending on the infection situation at Christmas, there could also be an extension of the school holidays. Lower Saxony Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) apparently also assumes that the partial “lockdown” to combat the spread of the corona virus will continue. He said that to the “Handelsblatt”.
