"If things continue like this, the hospitals will have to hoist the white flag at Christmas": According to the medical doctor Christoph Josten, Saxony's health system is increasingly reaching its limits.
The state is struggling with the most severe corona infection in Germany.
If nothing changes, “then we have to think about other modalities, then nothing helps.
It's in your hand, ”the Medical Board of the University Clinic in Leipzig appealed to the population at a press conference on Friday.
And underlined his warning with an example that made people sit up and take notice.
"One of the well-known lateral thinkers who demonstrated in Leipzig was intubated with Covid eight days later," said Josten.
"In this respect, the Covid takes no account of people, no matter who they are.
It is best to protect yourself, keep to the distance rules and really avoid contacts. "
According to media reports, the man is said to be one of the organizers of the “lateral thinking” demonstration against the corona policy in Leipzig, which got completely out of hand at the beginning of November.

This weekend, “lateral thinking” actually wanted to demonstrate in Dresden.
A rally for 4000 people was registered, for which nationwide and abroad - also in the right-wing scene - was advertised.
However, the city imposed a ban because of the threat to security.
The Upper Administrative Court of Saxony in Bautzen confirmed the decision on Saturday night.
The state capital's risk forecast is not objectionable.
According to the judges, the fundamental right to life and physical integrity outweighs the fundamental right to freedom of assembly.
This order can not be contested.
The Bautzen Higher Administrative Court came under fire a month ago when it overturned the ban on the aforementioned “lateral thinking” demo in downtown Leipzig on November 7th.
Nevertheless, it is expected that supporters of the scene will arrive to protest in Dresden, including hooligans and right-wing extremists.
At planned counter-events, the police, who are preparing for a large-scale operation, also expect violent left-wing extremists.

In the fight against the corona pandemic, the Free State will go into complete lockdown on Monday.
Daycare centers, schools and numerous shops are then closed.
The cabinet had decided on the corresponding corona protection ordinance on Friday evening.
Therefore, in Dresden, too, a large number of customers in the city is feared.
According to the knowledge of the Saxony Trade Association, shops there also open longer, which should help to equalize the flow of customers.
Ziemiak: "Greatest possible ruthlessness"
CDU General Secretary Paul Ziemiak criticized the German press agency that calls for large-scale demonstrations are currently "nothing more than the expression of the greatest possible ruthlessness and limitless egoism." Recording 24 hours made “lateral thinkers” mobile in Dresden.
"It should now be clear to everyone that the hard core of the 'lateral thinker' scene is not about justified concerns, but about an attack on our state," said Ziemiak.
Those who demonstrate here not only endanger their own health, but also negligently attack the health of thousands of police officers.
