According to one study, confidence in vaccines in Germany grew between 2015 and 2019. According to one study, about 69 percent of Germans considered vaccines important. In 2015 it was only 66 percent. Additionally, 59 percent of those surveyed rated the vaccines as effective in 2019, compared with 53 percent in 2015. Slightly more than half also said they considered the vaccines to be safe, compared to just under 43 percent in 2015. The study evaluated numerous data from 149 countries, which the research team led by Heidi Larson from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine presented in the journal “The Lancet.” They were based on 290 interviews with more than 284,000 people conducted between September 2015 and December 2019. In general, confidence in vaccines is lower in Europe than in other regions, but in some cases it has increased in recent years, it is said . In France, for example, where only about 9 percent believed in the safety of vaccines in 2015, it was almost 30 percent in 2019.
+++ 05:41 New key to EU aid brings Germany 1 billion euros more +++
According to a forecast by the EU Commission, Germany will be the winner of the new system of distribution of the billions of the European Crown economic program.

+++ 03:58 appeasements: Trump compares himself to Churchill +++
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, draws a parallel between his calm in the pandemic and the behavior of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II. “When Hitler bombed London, Churchill, a great leader, would often go up on a roof in London and speak,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Freeland, Michigan. “And he always spoke calmly. He said we have to show calmness. No, we did it well, and we did a job like nobody else.” Trump was under pressure almost two months before the US election because he said in interviews with investigative journalist Bob Woodward in March that he had deliberately downplayed the danger posed by the virus.
+++ Study 02:59: low confidence in vaccines in Europe +++
According to one study, confidence in vaccines is lower in Europe than in other parts of the world, such as Africa. Trust in vaccines is influenced, for example, by a country’s political stability and misinformation on the Internet. When it comes to a Sars-CoV-2 vaccine, many people are concerned about the speed of development, says study leader Heidi Larson of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. “But the public is not really interested in speed, they are interested in care, efficacy and safety.” More than 284,000 people were interviewed for the study.

+++ 23:23 Tunisia is fighting by leaps and bounds +++
The number of new infections each day has risen to a record high in Tunisia. The Tunisian Ministry of Health reported 465 new cases in one day. Three other people died in connection with the virus. The development had raised particular concern with the students’ planned return to schools next week. The number of new infections each day has steadily increased in Tunisia over the past weeks. In March, the North African country imposed strict curfews, closed its borders and suspended international flights as a measure to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

+++ 23:02 the virologist wants to allow a rapid test for home use +++
Virologist Alexander Kekulé calls on politicians to allow rapid tests for coronavirus at home. Kekulé said on the MDR podcast that he felt a release was urgently needed. In addition, everyone can, in principle, do the necessary nasal swab themselves for a quick test. He sees no reason why only a doctor should do it: “In my opinion, taking a sample in front of the mirror yourself should be practiced in times of pandemic, like brushing your teeth in kindergarten.” Until now, only laboratory tests are allowed in Germany. One reason for this is the Medical Device Dispensing Ordinance, which prohibits the dispensing of coronavirus tests to non-professionals.
+++ 22:29 Record rise in France: Macron warns of panic +++

More recently, the French health authority confirmed almost 10,000 new infections in 24 hours, the highest value since the start of the pandemic.

In Paris and other major French cities, mouth and nose protection should also be worn outdoors.

+++ 22:01 Doctors in Madrid threaten a general strike +++
Doctors in Madrid want to stop working due to corona overload. The largest medical union in the region around the Spanish capital has called an “unlimited and full” strike as of September 28. The strike had already been announced for workers in the primary health care sector, but other sectors would join in the coming weeks, he said. For years there has been a lack of human and financial resources, the union complained in a statement released late in the evening. “In recent months, however, the pandemic has made the situation worse, which is unacceptable to us.” The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, had not responded to the request that had been made to her on several occasions to meet to discuss the problems. Madrid was hit particularly hard by the pandemic in the Corona hotspot, Spain, in the spring, and is now again the region of the country most affected by the new outbreaks.
