I fear that people will become more reckless again, “the doctor said in an interview with the” Hamburger Abendblatt “.

In the summer it took a long time for the numbers to rise again. “But in winter, given the temperatures, people spend a lot more indoors. I’m afraid the third wave will come later, we have to assume that. “It is therefore important that everyone disciplines themselves for months, even if it is difficult.

Thursday 19 November: one death crowns every 17 seconds in Europe

13:13:
The
WHO World Health Organization
laments an increasing number of crown deaths in Europe. In the past two weeks, the number of disease-related deaths from Covid-19 has increased by 18%, said WHO European Region Director Hans Kluge. More than 29,000 deaths were recorded last week, which means that every 17 seconds one person in the European region dies with Covid-19.

The fact that 4,500 lives are currently lost to Covid-19 per day is avoidable, Kluge said. Those who adhere to guidelines and take action against disinformation are making a contribution to avoiding death.

Association of cities and municipalities against the general ban on fireworks

13:01:
The German Association of Cities and Municipalities speaks
against the general ban on New Year’s fireworks
and firecrackers in the crown pandemic. “People have endless frustration. Everything is forbidden, you can’t go anywhere, ”said General Manager Gerd Landsberg. “Obviously there will be no New Year with big parties and big fireworks”. For individual families, however, he sees no reason for a major ban.

The classic, large fireworks display with thousands of spectators likely won’t take place if the current infection situation persists, Landsberg said. The necessary distance could not be maintained, even with masks it seemed difficult. Some cities had announced no zones for months, for example in urban centers. Due to the crown pandemic, some national politicians and police unionists are now calling for a general ban on firecrackers on New Year’s Eve.

Federal Minister Klöckner: “There is also a swarm of stupidity”

11.20 am:
Federal Minister of Agriculture and Deputy CDU
Julia Kloeckner
sees dangers to democracy and the cohesion of society if the crown crisis continues into the super election year 2021. “Because then it will be more difficult for politicians to create something like a ‘bonfire’ feeling with candidates on the spot, in the regions , when contacts are severely limited, “said Klöckner of the” Rheinische Post “.

“Something like this changes democracy and its habits. We must make sure that there is no danger to the cohesion of society. “Online exchange is often characterized by enthusiasm, one is only online with like-minded people. “In this reduction, you are likely to feel comfortable. Even when you think and exchange arguments. “The willingness to compromise is greatly diminishing. “There is a swarm of intelligence. The opposite of that
Crush the stupidity
, but there can also be. Personal conversations between politicians and citizens remain irreplaceable “.

For what concern
upcoming holidays
Klöckner said: “There can’t be the usual New Year celebrations, it would be unrealistic, so the year would probably start badly with an infection record.” She herself will reduce her contacts even at Christmas.
