Update from September 3, 9:15 a.m.: The corona numbers are increasing and the vaccination campaign continues to stall. Berlin’s Governing Mayor Michael Müller has now complained about the slow pace of vaccination. “In the meantime, the progress of the vaccination has become very tough. We fight for every single vaccination, although we have enough vaccine and a good infrastructure, ”said Müller of the German press agency.
“We therefore have to continue with creative vaccination offers such as club night, vaccinations in parking lots, in the S-Bahn or in Alexa.” That definitely brings something, says Müller. “With these offers, we have been able to provide around 50,000 additional vaccinations in the past few weeks.”
It is astonishing that after this long pandemic phase it is still so difficult to convince people of the importance of this vaccination. Müller said he was careful with predicting whether and when herd immunity would be possible. “But I am very optimistic that even without herd immunity we no longer need a lockdown because we have other measures to prevent it.”

Corona in Germany: Incidence of hospitalization is falling slightly
If the seven-day incidence was previously an important tool for assessing the corona pandemic, attention should also be paid to other parameters in the future. For example, the RKI has recently started reporting the number of hospital admissions in its daily status report.
The seven-day hospitalization incidence indicates how many admissions of Covid 19 patients in inpatient treatment per 100,000 inhabitants were reported in seven days. On Thursday, the RKI gave the value in the management report as 1.74 (previous day 1.81). A nationwide threshold value from when the situation can be viewed critically is not provided for the incidence of hospitalization, among other things because of large regional differences.
The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas time. The seven-day incidence is calculated according to RKI information on the basis of the reporting date to the local health department. According to this, an average of about ten days elapse between an infection and hospitalization, so the hospitalization incidence reflects the infection situation with a noticeable delay. * Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
