Good evening,
The new corona rules are not very easy to understand. We promised at this point 24 hours ago that we would add something to the key figure of the hospitalization incidence, which should now be decisive for the question of which restrictions apply in public life if more people fall ill with Corona again. So: It measures how many people are in the hospital within seven days for every 100,000 inhabitants. It is currently 2.5 in Hesse. If there were more than eight, the first restrictions would come into force, if there were more than 15, the screws would be tightened even harder. The problem: The state government has not really left out what exactly should then happen in each case. There is vague talk of restrictions on access to events. We will see.In any case, the incidence in its previous form, infections per 100,000 inhabitants calculated over seven days, has had its day.

It is a change of direction in the fight against corona, because nobody wants another lockdown, and certainly not because of some stubborn people who absolutely do not want to be vaccinated.
All of the new rules are designed to increase the pressure on these people.
In Hesse, the seven-day incidence of those who were not or only partially vaccinated is currently 274, if we take them up again, whereas it is just 15. To what extent, however, the doors and gates will remain locked for the unvaccinated in the future, because, for example, innkeepers no longer let them in, has yet to show up.
In any case, the Frankfurt Hairdressing and Cosmetics Guild is skeptical. Because everyone who offers “body-hugging services”, what a nice phrase, like innkeepers, can decide whether they will also allow unvaccinated people in in the future, provided they have at least been tested. The head master of the guild fears chaos, the solution might lie in alternating 2G and 3G days. The hairdressers should be happy that they have been able to open again for a few months, since there have been worse times for them. But you quickly forget that in these fast-moving times.
And in addition, the Städel boss Philipp Demandt will no longer be responsible for the Schirn at the same time +++ is the expensive truck that has been parked for weeks on the Salzbachtal bridge in Wiesbaden, which was advertised for blasting, was brought down with a crane on Wednesday +++ the shell of Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport is largely finished, even if it is not needed for the time being.
I wish you a Corona-free day
Yours Manfred Köhler
