The “numerous family contacts” would, “after all experience, cause a number of infections”, said the SPD politician world from monday. “So it is worth considering whether the associated infection dynamics should not be alleviated by a limited break.”

The FDP will “not take a position on the matter,” said Lindner in an interview with Phoenix. “Both a position for compulsory vaccination and a position against a general vaccination requirement both have a place in a liberal party. It is a serious decision of conscience, ”said Lindner. Both can be defended with good arguments. “That is why we should also have respect for all positions on these issues,” said Lindner.
Update from December 5th, 2:53 p.m .: The Corona situation is “highly dramatic” – one hears that again and again from politicians at the moment.

The state-wide incidence there is currently around 525. In the debate about bans and restrictions, the teachers of the Baden-Württemberg high schools recently called for school closings not to be ruled out. “Every consideration for securing school operations must now be on the table,” said the state chairman of the Baden-Württemberg Philologists’ Association, Ralf Scholl.
Brinkhaus wants further corona measures: Schools are also becoming an issue again
Update from December 5th, 12 noon: Union faction leader Ralph Brinkhaus calls for a further tightening of the Corona measures and does not want to rule out school closings in particularly affected regions. “In areas with high incidences, you have to think about temporary contact restrictions for vaccinated people,” said the CDU politician to the newspapers of the Funke media group. He feared that the latest federal and state resolutions will not be enough to break the wave and quickly push the number of infections down.
School closings are a significant burden for the children, but also for the parents. “Of course it must be the aim of the school ministers to keep the schools open as long as possible with mask requirements, tests and ventilation,” said Brinkhaus. “But there must be no taboos for regions with very high incidences.”
Wissing suddenly advises against Christmas trips – “Corona winter 2021 will be more dramatic”
First report from December 5th: Berlin – The “minimum standards” in the fight against the corona virus were recently set by the federal and state governments after their deliberations.

In view of the dramatic situation, calls were made to resolve contact restrictions for them too or to introduce 2G-Plus to a large extent.
“Dramatic winter 2021”: Future FDP ministers advise against traveling for Christmas
The future Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing, who misunderstood the Corona situation for a long time, also sees that something has to happen in this Corona * situation: “Contact restrictions, also in the private sector, are important in order to combat the pandemic,” he said Picture on sunday. “In the current situation, it seems more sensible to spend Christmas in a small group at home and not plan any major trips across the country.”
Christmas is likely to be an exceptional festival again this year. “Winter 2021 will be more dramatic than winter 2020,” Wissing believes. All means allowed by the constitution “to put a stop to the pandemic as quickly as possible” would be examined.
Corona in Germany: Many new cases and deaths every day
The number of infections is at a high level of well over 400 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants per week – a year ago at this time it was 135. Hundreds of people die every day in Germany. A general compulsory vaccination is sought, although the federal government had long ruled out such vaccination. The prospective new Chancellor Olaf Scholz * (SPD) has announced that the Bundestag will vote on it without being forced into a parliamentary group. According to government spokesman Steffen Seibert, this could be the case at the beginning of next year.
“In the balance between the not insignificant severity of the interference and the weighing of damage for society, it is clearly justifiable under constitutional law,” said Norbert Röttgen, applicant for the CDU chairmanship *, the Editorial network Germany. Opponents of vaccinations and boycotters of protective measures are, in his opinion, a greater challenge for the cohesion of society than state measures such as compulsory vaccination. “The split in that it is still left to a minority to trigger a huge wave of infections that affects and restricts the entire population is much more serious.”
Corona: Will vaccination be compulsory for everyone?
Frauke Rostalski, a member of the German Ethics Council, turned against a general vaccination requirement. Germany has not yet exhausted all other instruments, explained the law professor in the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger. It looks different with the over 60-year-olds, who make up the majority of Covid patients in intensive care units. (cibo / dpa) * Merkur.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
