The situation of intensive care with us "is highly dramatic". This was stated by Manne Lucha, Minister of Health of Baden-Wuerttemberg, announcing that the German Land is preparing to send patients also abroad.
It has already received availability from Italy (Lombardy), France and Switzerland. “We are preparing to transfer patients abroad, should it be necessary. The load on the hospitals is immense and people can't take it anymore ”.
For days other German Länder have already begun to transfer patients abroad due to the heavy load of the intensive care units. Bavaria sent two to Italy, to Bolzano and Merano.
A dramatic situation, therefore, even if for the first time in the last three weeks the weekly incidence of infections per 100 thousand inhabitants drops - albeit by very little, just two decimal places: it has gone from 452.4 on Monday to 452.2 today. , but compared to 153.7 a month ago it has practically tripled.
The infections in the last 24 hours are 45,752, equal to 21.18 of the swabs carried out, the deaths are 388.
The nascent government is entitled to further closures, or a squeeze on Green Passes and vaccines. Chancellor in pectore Olaf Scholz expressed himself in favor of the vaccination obligation during the consultation between the State and the Regions on the emergency, in which he participated together with Angela Merkel: "It is important to establish a generalized obligation to vaccinate", he said according to German media reports.
