According to its own information, the federal government has no knowledge of the average age of Covid 19 patients in German intensive care units.
The Federal Ministry of Health announced this at the request of the FDP.
Accordingly, the hospitals must transmit their treatment capacities and the number of discharged patients on a daily basis.
"Data on the (average) age of Covid-19 patients with intensive medical treatment needs" are not included.
The answer to a request from FDP politician Judith Skudelny was available to AFP on Thursday. It also states that there is consequently no information about the average age of the patients who died of the coronavirus in the intensive care units. The answer goes on to say that the age has not yet been “considered necessary”. So far, information about this has only been known through random surveys in clinics during the pandemic.
SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz has warned of a social division when vaccinating against the corona virus and defended the prioritization.
"Vaccination must not become a social issue," he told the editorial network Germany (Thursday).
"It is not the presence of doctors among friends or acquaintances that may decide whether to allocate vaccination appointments, but only the priority."

It is good that there is a mandatory vaccination sequence.
"As long as the vaccine is scarce, we should keep it," said Scholz.
"I would prefer we hold on to vaccination prioritization a little longer than if we risk a dispute over vaccine in which the wealthier with their networks and contacts ultimately prevail."
