DHis debate on how to deal with the coronavirus pandemic continues. CSU Regional Team Leader Alexander Dobrint The SPD candidate for Prime Minister Olaf Scholz (Olaf Scholz) tried to extend the current legal status and reacted cautiously. Dobrint of the German News Agency said: “The spread of the epidemic is not automated.” “We will closely monitor the infection process in the next few weeks, and then make a decision on appropriate measures in the Bundestag.” At an event organized by the German editorial. , Federal Finance Minister Schultz announced that certain rules to prevent the coronavirus are still necessary. “For this, we need a legal framework.”
The topic is probably the principal Angela Merkel And keep the country’s prime minister busy next Tuesday when discussing measures to contain the fourth wave of epidemics. The legal status of the German epidemic will expire in September.
In view of the increasing number of coronavirus infections and declining willingness to vaccinate, leftist leaders attack Dietmar Bach It is planned to introduce a vaccination bonus. Bartsch told the newspaper of the Funke Media Group: “All vaccinated citizens can get a 50-euro downtown voucher for use in restaurants or retail stores.” “This will be an economic stimulus plan of 300 to 4 billion euros. In the inner city severely affected by the new crown epidemic.” In Saxony, vaccinated people have already received special coupons and discounts.
Dobrindt expressed support for increasing the number of low-threshold vaccinations. “I recommend not only keeping the testing station, but also keeping the vaccination station for newcomers,” he told the Funke newspaper. “At airports and train stations, unvaccinated passengers should get vaccinated quickly and easily.”
Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Maru Dreyer (SPD) expressed support for creating as many incentives as possible to provide vaccination services to everyone. At the same time, she doubts that people who have not been vaccinated might tighten up. Politicians from Deutschlandfunk say that the current debate is too early. “I can hardly imagine that the country completely excludes people.”
The number of new infections is still at a low level of about 20 per 100,000 residents per week, but it is already higher than last summer, followed by the third wave of severe infections. According to data from the Robert Koch Institute, less than 54% of the population received the vaccine needed for full protection on Thursday morning. However, the daily dose has fallen back to the level of early April, when vaccine delivery began and the movement accelerated-but now demand lags far behind supply. However, all relevant politicians ruled out the possibility of mandatory vaccination.
Some people also predict that people will become more and more willing to get vaccinated if they have to pay for the previous free tests in the future. Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn (CDU) made this recommendation in mid-October to all those who did not have the opportunity to be vaccinated, although there is no medical objection. As he said, Dobrindt wants to wait until November to make payments. Because if you get the first vaccine in the next 4 weeks, it will take you 6 weeks to get the second dose and another 2 weeks to be fully effective.
Ulrich Weigeldt, president of the Association of General Practitioners, attributed the decline in vaccination readiness to political communication. In an interview with “Passauer Neue Presse” (Friday), he said that this is “not surprising, and certainly partly due to conflicting political information about individual vaccines and campaigns.” “The confusion of communication has undoubtedly caused the vaccination campaign to not proceed as expected.”

He is skeptical of the measures proposed by the Federal Ministry of Health to improve vaccinated people when the number of infections is increasing. “I’m skeptical about it,” he said. “I think you should try to persuade and seduce people.”
