Merkel: 60 to 70% in Germany will be infected by coronary

By “BILD” when I communicate this statement to parliament, the MP group remained silent as the Chancellor is taught that he said “situata depends on us”.

“60 to 70 per cent in Germany will be infected by 60 per cent to 70 per cent of people in Germany will be infected by the coronary virus“, Chancellor Merkel said shortly after the parliamentary group's meeting begins.

There was silence in the parliamentary group, participants report. And she also said: “in Corona we are facing a challenge we have never had before. It really depends on us. The main burden belongs to Jens Spahn. He does it really well. It is also an incentive for the near future. Because the crisis is obviously not over yet”.

Merkel, who had been regularly informed by Health Minister Jens Spahn and, above all, by her Minister of Chancellor Helge Brown, a doctor and professor of honour, had stressed that even more events would have to be cancelled to slow the spread of the virus. Germany will undoubtedly continue to fight the virus for a long time, so it is now important that the rising and spreading phase fail to gain speed. This is the only way associated measures can be taken and we hope to become effective.

Health Minister Jens Spahn confirmed the Chancellor's analysis. Sixty to 70 percent of the infected should be expected if it is not possible to develop and use a vaccine in advance. Spahn, whose appearance is described by participants as the “safe, clear and actual,”, had stressed, however, that 80 percent of all infected persons would pass through the epidemic with almost no symptoms.

The course of the disease is especially problematic for people over the age of 65 who should think about the sometimes difficult course and intensive medical treatment. According to Spahn, 28,000 beds are available for this. Now it is a matter of maintaining a stable health and social life system, Spahn said.

CDU chief Annegret Kramp-Carrenbauer responded indirectly to her speech at the next federal party CDU convention to elect a new chairman. A possible annulment is not an easy decision, as it is about open competition in the party. House Adenauer is planning the party congress in close co-ordination with security and health authorities, and also wants to secure provisions for “continent”. However, she did not say exactly how that might seem. A postponement of the party congress is considered possible within the Union. Officially, there is actually no information on this.
