Who knows, whether there is in North Rhine-Westphalia, Gangelt ever again be a carnival meeting. She was famous for. However, the Name of Gangelt might just be emblematic of the Moment in which the Corona-epidemic got out of control. What would have been the carnival might be let? Two weeks ago, no health politicians wanted the Germans expect. Even the virologist Alexander Kekulé, the calls for now of day-care centres and schools closing, held back as. It would have gone well, had all the level-headed approach Jens Spahns praised, insisting on still quite rightly a sense of perspective and proportionality of any measures taken against the epidemic.
Comparing the Corona-crisis management with a football game and Jens Spahn, the Trainer would be, as we were last week, maybe in a Minute, ten, and Spahns team would be just a sovereign impression. “Statesman-like” to kick it, so health-politicians from other parties have said to me there, an unusual praise from political opponents. But now, a few minutes was played more, the opposing team has surprisingly scored a goal. Who would then say, well played? Who would now say, everything is under control and clear, the carnival had to take place?

Chaos by Corona?
At the moment many people in Germany have apparently under the impression everything could be thrown into Chaos. Paniker and “Doomer” (the Apocalypse-believers) to buy pasta shelves are empty, mouth mouth protection masks from doctors offices and hospitals, and a break even in camp, for patients required disinfectant plunder the same range way. And even yesterday, even level-headed politicians*tend to be suddenly to panicked Overreactions.
This is what happened in Nuremberg last Sunday. The following case, Uwe Janssens, President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive and emergency medicine describes, in a brand letter to the Robert Koch-Institute: A mother appears with her high febrile child in the emergency room, the father was already tested positive to the new Coronavirus. The child Influenza is diagnosed, the mother is in the Test as a winner of the Coronavirus, but it hardly shows any symptoms. The Doctors want to you home fired with the rest, to stay two weeks at home, in order to threaten anyone. Finally, it does not belong to any risk group and has a mild course of the disease. In North Rhine-Westphalia procedures, the Doctors in such cases are a long way.
But then, the Bavarian Ministry of health will turn on and arranges, the woman had to stay in isolation in the hospital. In the ICU! Yes, you read that right! The highly infectious, but is otherwise healthy woman was housed there, where seriously ill patients, who struggle to live, people whose immune systems may be for various reasons be weakened. Although in Isolation, so that a risk of contagion to other appears to be actually excluded, but mistakes happen.
And the whole thing takes place at a time, in the mouth protection masks and protective clothing coats to be everywhere in the world are scarce. A nurse, the women tea brings, would have to wear a mask – and then properly dispose of it. When really seriously ill, infectious patients are coming in greater numbers, there would be no protection equipment is more, because everything was now wasted, already wasted. Dear Madam Minister, Melanie Huml, you’re a Doctor – what has driven your Ministry because of this insanity? It was the forthcoming local election in Bavaria, do you want to show implacable hardness to the Virus?
Coronavirus in Germany
What is there? – Corona and the consequences
Federalism is a friend of the Virus
It would be urgently necessary, that, from Berlin, is a power word. But the Federal health Ministry and the Robert Koch Institute, can not prevail from the top of a national pandemic plan for the whole of Germany. The reasons we are in this article “Can be analyzed, we have a crisis”. Federalism is a powerful friend of the new Corona-Virus. There are, for example, in a hurry to publish updated infection protection plan of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, so in the eye of the hurricane, where more than 100 cases are reported in part other instructions for Doctors as in the recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute.
And the local doctors in the area of Heinsberg do it again, differently, in consultation with the local health Department. At the University hospital in Aachen, a nurse got infected, according to RKI, all would have to contact people – even nurses and*Doctors of the hospital in quarantine. Clearly this cannot work, because then there would soon have to many stations to close. Who has tested negative for the Virus and no symptoms, can continue to work.
It would be nice if you had realistic recommendations for action by the Robert Koch Institute, because on the ground in the crisis regions, making it currently each of so, how he thinks, and lives in constant fear of being potentially prosecuted if it goes wrong. Would be nice also, if a Central office in Germany would now ensure that wherever there is infection, and nests, adequate protection would be available. It would also be desirable, if politicians – here, too, Melanie Huml is pre-charged in – not the fault of the Lack of protective equipment at the flat rate of the Doctors push.
She’s not entirely wrong, it makes you wonder why there are generally doctor’s offices that don’t have anything in stock to protect your staff. But we are dealing with an epidemic. The policy is the responsibility of the General interest for all citizens and also for the medical staff. Firefighters will be equipped by the state with protective clothing, then Medical*please indoor, nurses, and medical assistants! We need you all, you should not be infected right now, and in quarantine land.

We can crisis? Where Germany has to fight against the Coronavirus problems
No reason to panic
Jens Spahn is trust that he knows what would be needed. He is a medical professional since the first hour of his career as a Federal politician, which he began in 2002, the health Committee, and he distinguishes himself currently as a “doer”, what makes his popularity ratings up noise. But he will do a devil, to speak now, of all times, the power of the word and of the top of through rule. He would try, he would annoy his sparring partner, the North Rhine-Westphalian Prime Minister, Armin Laschet, deeply. Federalism is a sacred cow. Who is scratching at the territory of the country in the health policy, risked the end of his political career, and Spahn, well, Yes, Spahn wants to be Chancellor.
Nonetheless, there is currently no reason to panic. Although the case numbers are in Germany now at over 300 and probably continue to rise, we have in Germany still not a single Corona to mourn the dead. And the new Corona Virus is not as dangerous as the Ebola virus. Of the “tens of thousands of dead,” as one of our readers already feared, we are to the happiness of heaven far. The intensive care physician, Uwe Janssens said to me: “the way I see it, we take that as a good finger exercise if time really is a killer virus.”
Hopefully he was right.
