Because of the confusion of corona numbers in Bavaria: FDP vice recommends constitutional action against Söder

The incidence in the Free State is falling. The Bavarian state government lacks important corona data. All news in the ticker.

Update from December 10th, 8:38 p.m.: The dispute over Bavaria’s corona numbers does not break off, now it is even taking place in political Berlin. The Ministry of Health and the State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) are accused of having declared corona infected people whose vaccination status was unknown as unvaccinated. Because Bavaria has been showing two different seven-day incidences for vaccinated and unvaccinated people for some time, such a reinterpretation results in incorrect incidences. The FDP had accused the Bavarian state government of deceiving the public with distorted corona numbers.

After a dispute over corona numbers: Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP) with a clear demand

Now the FDP member of the Bundestag Wolfgang Kubicki has intervened in the conflict. He describes the situation in the newspaper Die Welt as “a brazen disregard for parliamentary questions”. Kubicki said that it was to be recommended “to defend oneself against this anti-parliamentary act: this expressly includes a constitutional complaint.”

He also sees the prime minister himself responsible. “Söder obviously thinks that the state and the information available to him belong to him. It is irresponsible that he is providing enormous support to conspiracy theorists of all kinds and massively impairing trust in the integrity of state action, ”said Kubicki.

State government lacks data on corona vaccination of Bavarian residents

Update from December 10th, 1:26 p.m.: Regardless of all documentation requirements in the corona pandemic, the state government still lacks reliable data on the vaccination protection of very old nursing home residents. The Ministry of Health assumes that on November 1st, 87 percent of the estimated 127,000 nursing home residents in Bavaria had been vaccinated twice. The state vaccination centers had also reported a total of 63,827 booster vaccinations for residents by December 3, as announced by the Ministry of Health in Munich.

Doctors in private practice also vaccinate in the homes – presumably on a large scale, but details are unknown. “An exact quota cannot be given, however, because the number of booster vaccinations by doctors is not known, since the status of a home resident is not recorded separately in the vaccination documentation and the doctors or institutions have not yet been obliged to report”, it says in the answer from the ministry.

Nursing home residents are particularly at risk in the corona pandemic. About two thirds of the corona deaths are over 80, in the first phase of the pandemic, before the start of the vaccination campaign in homes, there were repeated mass infections with numerous fatalities. In contrast to Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg obviously had an eye on the vaccinations in nursing homes at an early stage. “We have asked the home supervisory authorities in the rural and urban districts in Baden-Württemberg to inquire about the status of booster vaccinations at the care facilities in the state,” said a spokesman for the Ministry of Social Affairs in Stuttgart on request.

The new federal government is now introducing a corresponding reporting obligation as one of its first official acts: The homes are to be obliged nationwide to document the residents’ vaccination status on a monthly basis.

Corona in Bavaria: New vaccination assistance makes you sit up and take notice

Update from December 10th, 12.45 p.m.: The Catholic and Evangelical Churches in Bavaria are calling for corona vaccination – and want to make their own rooms available for vaccination campaigns. “Churches and community halls are central places that many people in the Free State are familiar with.” Health Minister Klaus Holetschek said on Friday in Munich. The churches also have “special access to the people” and can “enter into conversation with those who doubt or hesitate”.

According to the ministry, the Protestant regional bishop Heinrich Bedford-Strohm asked in a letter to check in all 1540 regional parishes whether they could offer vaccination centers on site or volunteer help. In this way, the church could make its contribution “to this huge effort,” said Bedford-Strohm accordingly.

According to the head of the Bavarian Catholic Office, Lorenz Wolf, all Bavarian dioceses also support efforts to “make it easier for people of all ages to have access to vaccinations”. Occasionally there had been vaccination campaigns in church parishes since the summer.
