Corona walkers walk through Cologne under strong counter-protest
According to police reports, around 3,500 so-called “corona walkers” gathered in Cologne on Monday. They moved through the city center under loud protests from several hundred counter-demonstrators. The counter-demonstrators have expressed their criticism of the Corona walkers by carrying signs with inscriptions such as “Vaccinate instead of scolding” or “Depacificate now”. Because the Corona walks often argue factually wrong. Some participants in the Corona walk had children with them. As a rule, these are people who are dissatisfied with the existing corona measures and are against a planned compulsory vaccination. However, the latest figures from the Robert Koch Institute show how necessary such measures are. Because the RKI reported new highs in connection with the pandemic on Tuesday: around 127,000 new infections and a nationwide seven-day incidence of around 900. The hospitalization rate was last given as 3.87. The figure summarizes the hospital admissions per 100,000 population in a given period. A hospitalization rate of 5 is considered critical.
