Virologist Klaus Stöhr advocates exit restrictions
The epidemiologist and virologist Klaus Stöhr has spoken out in favor of exit restrictions in the fight against the corona pandemic. Since most infections occurred within families, more far-reaching corona measures would be most likely to be successful there, said Stöhr in the podcast “Die Wochenester” from “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” and “RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland (RND)”.
“You don’t want to touch the hot potato to intervene in the family. It was done in France. If you actually worked causally, you would have to reconsider this unpleasant exit restriction and perhaps communicate better. ”However, the expert is also of the opinion that politicians should accept a reporting incidence between 100 and 150. “There will be more and more cases if you open while spring hasn’t arrived.”

The former head of the Global Influenza Program and SARS research coordinator of the WHO is following the debate about the British corona mutation with a shake of his head. “I think the current discussion that one speaks of the B.1.1.7 variant of a ‘killer virus’ is completely unacceptable.”
The values from England are available and the data are undisputed. “However, in Germany and in other countries this is repeated like a prayer wheel, without being able to present their own data and without being able to distinguish well whether the increase in cases is due to the variant, pandemic fatigue, the change in the test strategy or the greater mobility. As long as you cannot causally store this, everything remains speculative. ”In view of the inadequate testing strategy in schools and daycare centers, he says:“ It will be the case that all children under the age of 12 will most likely become infected naturally. We know the consequences are very minor, but there are. “
