Covid-19 in Germany

Jens Spahn

Inserted 2 years ago

“By the end of this winter pretty much everyone in Germany ... will have been vaccinated, recovered or died. With the highly contagious delta variant this is very, very likely and that's why we are recommending vaccination so urgently.”

“We are now in a situation - even if this produces a news alert - where we can't rule anything out. We are in a national emergency.”

“We have never been so unsettled as we are now. We're really facing a very bad Christmas season if we don't do something about it.”

“If we would have had a national strategy against this virus, against pandemic, everybody would probably agree really strict measures at the moment would be the right thing. It's rather ineffective if each of the states takes its own way over the Easter holidays. People also don't understand that they cannot go for a holiday trip within their own territory, but they can fly out to many other countries.”

“I'm upset. This bureaucracy, there is simply no pragmatism. I compare it to the flood. A dam breaks and we recognise the situation, but we sit down in our offices and write rules about where to get sandbags and how to fill them. That's our problem in Germany: we are no longer able to act. First of all, we need regulations in order to do anything, and that makes life difficult.”

“We are in the third wave of the pandemic, the numbers are rising, the percentage of virus mutations is high.”

“I would have wished for lighter measures. But due to Christmas shopping, the number of social contacts has risen considerably. There is an urgent need to take action.”

“I want to say this: if we have too much contact over Christmas, and afterwards it turns out that that was the last Christmas with the grandparents, then we will have really messed up and we should not mess up!”

“We’re not out of the woods yet. We cannot afford a yo-yo shutdown with the economy constantly opening and closing. If we don’t want days with 50,000 new infections, as was the case in France a few weeks ago, we must see through this and not constantly speculate about which measures can be relaxed again. All countries that lifted their restrictions too early have so far paid a high price in terms of human lives lost.”

“Given the very dynamic situation in all of Europe, we need to equally reduce contact in almost all European countries.”

“We need to take action now. Our health system can still cope with this challenge today, but at this speed of infections it will reach the limits of its capacity within weeks.”

“We must be a bit stricter in places where infection chains spread mostly, which is parties and, unfortunately, also travel. We are at the beginning of a second wave and only the politicians’ and the population’s determination will decide whether or not we can avoid it, or slow it down.”

“Thousands of Covidiots are celebrating themselves as 'the second wave,' without distancing, without masks. They are putting at risk not only our health, but our successes against the pandemic, to revive the economy, education and society. Irresponsible!”

“In Germany, people see that the hospitals are not overwhelmed, and they don’t understand why their shops have to shut. They only look at what’s happening here, not at the situation in, say, New York or Spain. This is the prevention paradox, and for many Germans I’m the evil guy who is crippling the economy.”

“It's not much good if one country, hopefully Germany, comes through the crisis relatively well, but around us the crisis is not yet over, then we won't be able to ramp up production”

“The low fatality rate in Germany is not just a matter of the number of tests, but also how the government has acted on the data. Germany’s robust testing programme is coupled with identifying and isolating infected patients. As the virus spreads most effectively from people at early stages of the disease with no or mild symptoms, early identification and isolation would have a disproportionately large impact on the spread of the disease.”
