All developments in the live ticker. – – – UTo boost the economy after the virus crisis, Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder is calling for a huge economic stimulus package and nationwide tax cuts. “If the first phase with emergency aid and guarantees is over, we also need a vital economic stimulus program of a similar size,” said Söder of the “Bild am Sonntag”. In his opinion, the German export economy will suffer even longer, so domestic demand must be stimulated. “That means: no tax increases, but tax cuts. The solos must be abolished faster and for everyone, ”said the CSU boss. “In addition, we should lower total income tax so that as many employees as possible have more money in their pockets.” Söder also believes that the automotive industry must be strengthened with its own program. “This time not with a scrappage, but with an innovation bonus,” he said. The state should provide massive support for the purchase of environmentally friendly vehicles. “This is how we secure jobs, protect the climate and improve the competitiveness of our automotive industry. That can even catapult us forward to Corona. ” US President Donald Trump wants to send thousands of soldiers to the states to help fight the coronavirus epidemic. “We’re going to send a massive amount of military to aid,” Trump said to journalists at the White House on Saturday night (local time). 1,000 military personnel are expected to go to New York City alone – including doctors and nurses. With the coronavirus epidemic increasing in numbers, the United States would have to face tough times. There will be “a lot of deaths in the next two weeks, unfortunately,” said Trump. The coming and the following week would probably be the worst, Trump said. US chief immunologist Anthony Fauci, meanwhile, warned of a second wave of coronavirus. The risk of a later flare-up is real. Correction: An earlier version said the delivery was apparently confiscated by the United States. In fact, it is currently unclear how the protective masks disappeared. – .Corona virus live in ticker: All current developments
