Ramelow: Soon there won’t be enough intensive care beds in Thuringia
Note: This post will be broadcast without a narration. O-Ton Bodo Ramelow (Die Linke), Prime Minister Thuringia: “So what the Federal Republic has as an average, we have more than twice as high in the infection rate. And we have one of the lowest vaccination rates. In this respect we can already predict now, that the pandemic of the unvaccinated is a big issue for us. And that means that our hospitals will reach their limit in the next few days. That means we will have to transfer patients to other federal states. We will every person in Germany who has an intensive A medical bed needs, guarantee a bed. That has been agreed between all sixteen federal states, and I assume that this can really be maintained. But one thing must also be said clearly: ‘Who does not protect his body, even though he is vaccinated can organize the best self-protection, he will not be able to count on the fact that he will end up in his home state, at least if he is from Thuringia can get a hospital bed. The fact remains: In Thuringia, we are the first federal state to open booster vaccinations for all generations, mask compulsory in schools from Monday, testing of all children and all pupils from Monday. When the holidays are over, the next 14 days in a row will be enough, there are already enough tests available that we can easily give every student a test for the next 14 days. “
Thuringia’s Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow warns of an exacerbation of the corona situation and an overload of the hospitals in his state.
