Relaxation chaos in Germany. First, Chancellor Angela Merkel (66) goes back: “The idea of the Easter break was a mistake.” Now his Chancellor’s minister is warning of the emergence of vaccine-resistant Corona mutants. “We are in the most dangerous phase of the pandemic,” said trained intensive care physician and CDU politician Helge Braun (48).
“If the number of infections increases rapidly again at the same time as vaccination, the risk increases that the next mutation of the virus will become immune to the vaccine.” That’s what the doctor from “Bild am Sonntag” said. “Then we would be left empty-handed again. Then we would need new vaccines, then we would have to start the vaccination again. “
Unfortunately, according to Braun, all the warnings always came. The third wave has the potential to be worse than the second, because it would be triggered by a more contagious mutation of the Covid-19 virus: “If the number of infections increases again at the same time as vaccination, the risk of following increases the spread of the virus. virus. The mutation becomes immune to the vaccine. “
Easter holidays «just not responsible»
According to Merkel’s confidant, the country “faces a third big wave.” Describe any relief at this point as incorrect. Instead of being cautious for another eight weeks, he would take “extreme risks.” The population is “asked for a little more resistance.”
The sharp increase in infections since the beginning of the month prohibits the opening of passages, says Braun. On March 2, Germany had 116,000 infected, on Saturday the figure was 202,000, which corresponds to almost doubling in just over three weeks. In Switzerland, the curve is much flatter. Opening steps are banned at a time, according to Braun, when the number of infections increases by 30 percent each week. Otherwise there is a risk of incidents of more than 200 after Easter: “Then the hospitals will reach their limit because the mutation of the virus brings many more young people to the intensive care unit who must be cared for there for longer” . Currently, the Easter holidays “are simply not responsible.”
The possibility of a largely normal summer should not be compromised if it is cut down a few weeks ahead of time. If all goes well, Germany could not relax until Pentecost at the earliest. “He estimates that the relief effect of the vaccination and the start of the warm season in May will be noticed (…) as long as the situation does not get out of control by then.
