In the course of the pandemic, Angela Merkel only drastically demonstrated the drama of the situation in a television address at the beginning of the nation's first corona wave. "It's serious. Take it seriously too. ”With these words, which in any case did not fail to have an impact on the vast majority of the population, the Chancellor prepared the country for the first lockdown on March 18, 2020. In view of the fourth and so far worst wave, why did Merkel only speak plain text in the last days of her chancellorship in the CDU executive committee, the dramatic content of which ("A situation that will surpass everything we have had so far.") Then only bit by bit Reached the public?
Merkel had already made it clear through the flower when it was presented that she does not consider the corona measures decided by the future traffic lights and the Prime Minister to be sufficient to break the wave. Even if she routinely presented the instruments 2 G, 2 G plus, 3 G at the workplace, the obligation to work from home and boosters that hold the syringe - she considers the continuation of "the epidemic emergency of national scope" to be the only effective breakwater, her leakage for a fatal mistake. Because a transnational federal emergency brake with extensive contact restrictions even for vaccinated people and the shutdown of public life like in Austria will soon no longer be possible.The introduction of a general compulsory vaccination demanded by a black-green country alliance will probably only help against a fifth wave in spring.
Merkel is right: now the countries must act quickly.
Otherwise Saxony will soon be everywhere.
In the corona hotspot there, the state medical association is preparing for a triage in view of the intensive care units full of Covid patients, as in Salzburg.
So a selection of who will receive medical help first.
For many sick people, tragic decisions will then be made.
