DW – Nov 4, 2021
Germany registered a record number of COVID-19 cases on Thursday, breaking a record set in December 2020. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the country’s disease control agency, reported 33,949 new infections in a single day.
The news came a day after Health Minister Jens Spahn declared that Germany was living in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated” and that the fourth wave of the virus was “in full force” across the country.
What is the situation for hospitals and vaccines?
With Germany’s vaccination program lagging behind other European countries, Spahn also warned that those unwilling to get vaccinated could face new restrictions, such as being barred from shops and restaurants.
Recent figures from the RKI show that only 66.5% of Germans are fully vaccinated, compared to 88% in Portugal and 81% in Spain.
Hospitals are also beginning to buckle under the pressure as the number of intensive care beds filled up, largely populated by the unvaccinated.
On Wednesday night, the rate of hospitalizations per 100,000 residents over seven days, the German government’s new key statistic to measure the severity of the pandemic, rose to 3.62 up from 3.29 just the day before.
What are health ministers debating?
Spahn met with the health ministers of Germany’s 16 federal states on Thursday in the southern city of Lindau to discuss the possibility of imposing new restrictions.
Over the past few months, although mask mandates for indoor public spaces remain in effect, life has largely returned to normal in Germany.
During talks spanning two days, ministers were also set to discuss the country’s booster campaign, which has been criticized for a lack of clarity about who can get one, and where.
Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek, who is chairing the conference, has called for a booster for everyone, not just the elderly and those with preexisting conditions.
“We need to make it very, very, clear what the next steps will be,” said Holetschek ahead of the meeting.
He added that it was clear “that the medical field is at its limit.”
Also up for discussion was whether or not to end Germany’s state of emergency, which will lapse on November 25. It has given the federal government more direct power to control the pandemic.
State of emergency nearing end
The three parties working to form Germany’s next coalition government have signaled they will let it run out, despite a plea from state leaders not to do so.
Ministers will also be looking at issuing new safety advice to businesses and public institutions.
In many places, those who are vaccinated, have recovered, or can present a negative test are allowed to enter public spaces.
Possible new suggestions include nixing negative tests alone and only allowing the recovered and vaccinated into buildings, a rule known as “2G” in Germany.
However, not all health experts are in agreement with how to adjust the rules.
“We don’t test anymore, that’s why I think rules like 2G are relatively dangerous. Last fall and winter, testing served us very well,” Hendrik Streeck, director of the Institute of Virology at Germany’s Bonn University, told DW.
“Even now, testing is needed for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated,” he added.
An even stronger rule would see the recovered and vaccinated also needing to present a negative test result.
Experts have said the latter should especially be considered for entering elder care homes, though that proposal has not made it into a government draft of new regulations.
“Vaccinated people are almost not tested at all in Germany, so we do not know how many vaccinated people are infected and can pass on the virus,” Streeck said.
Ulrich Weigeldt, the head of Germany’s general practitioners’ association, told the Bild newspaper that unvaccinated people “should not be allowed to have contact with vulnerable groups…that goes for care homes as well as for intensive care units.”
This is against what the funeral director said yesterday. Gov. does not want people thinking COVID is over, unless GB has a separate policy.
Ratchild : All we have to do is introduce a real or fictitious threat, & we can increase our totalitarian control over the goyim.
Mongrelstein: They either get the Shipman shot or we prohibit them from entering stores & restaurants.
All CRAP. As Kery Mullis stated in interviews the PCR test CANNOT identify any VIRUS. Cut out the garbage and telling the truth is a part of our species that it is not capable of. Bias of Priene: all men are wicked and most are evil.
We have wasted this planet and it cannot come back in what will be to man, forever. – Geoengineeringwatch.org – get a clue how multiple systems are working together as Ionospheric Resonators, EM Steering systems and platforms out in the seas and oceans, as well as synthetic life, heavy metals and other materials are necessary for 5G.6G to work.
Tired of misinformation by the liars. How big are the lies? How about all history and every institution is a failure
This is just one rabbit hole and the foundation of secret societies that is a farce known but never talked about

2. There is no such thing as Virus but just enzymes that when generated by the cell bodies dissolve the dead and dead and dying tissues which are also now called virus but before then were not – per Micro Necroscopy 70 years ago with the same identification markers as “Shedded Virus” which took the idea and perverted it.

Virus are essential foundation of all life but can be bad and are generated for good and bad. When will these lies end? NEVER. Man has proven that the vast majority are truly evil and will regurgitate what ever makes them “money” regardless of gold, silver, land, water, fiat cash or whatever, it’s all worthless. The only value is being free in a world that should be available for all creatures to live and for man to be a good shepherd not the demonic brain dead filth loving scum it turned out to be. The exceptions have been mostly eliminated for reverence to the living and of all things and the remainder will perish via the belief system of absolute idiotic stories with no truth in them.
The meally mouthed liars, evil putrid megalomaniacal psychopaths and sociopaths try to have it both ways as seen in this article of one of many groups that cannot tell any truths, love money more than live itself and wallow in the worthless wealth of no value while watching people die by their own orders.
Viruses used to be seen as the link between Chemistry and biology, some self-replicating RNA, with no phenotype. What are they now?
With respect Mr. Reinhart, Dane Wignington is a gatekeeper wedded both the “global warming” and to “geoengineering”. Along with his predecessor, Ms. Rosiland Peterson, who eschewed the word “chemtrails” for “persistent jet contrails” —
for example, https://devvy.com/pdf/2007_April/peterson_persistent_contrails.pdf
— both did great damage to the growing movement to get to the bottom of CHEMTRAILING, CHEMCLOUDING, etc.
My opinion only, having studied and observed these phenomena for 15 years or more in Northern California, now in Mexico, where, yes, chemtrailing occurs.
“COVID CASES” = AUTOIMMUNITY FROM mRNA INJECTION.
Fixed it for you.
Guess what, the mild flu/cold corona (there is no dr evil “covid”, nor any “variants”) exposure will set it off… dim bulb doctors – some of them (most) are naive pawns .. actually dumb as heck in my book, I went to school with them…will pcr this common virus … so in a way they are “innocent”?
