BHealth Minister Karl Lauterbach warns of a “catastrophic” corona development if no suitable measures to combat the virus are decided before autumn. “If we went into autumn like we are now, without further protective measures, without masks, without anything, then that would mean that the number of cases would rise sharply, but the intensive care units would also be overloaded,” said the SPD politician on Thursday a visit to the US capital Washington by the German Press Agency.
At the same time, staff in the clinics would also be absent. “It’s like a candle that burns at both ends,” says Lauterbach. The staff burn away downstairs and the patients upstairs.

With a view to the second booster vaccination, he warned: “The elderly cannot take the risk of waiting for an adapted vaccine, which will come sometime in September or October, given the high number of cases that we now have.”
During his visit to the United States, Lauterbach exchanged views with US partners on the fight against the corona virus and preparation for future pandemics, among other things. For example, he met the immunologist and pandemic advisor to the US President, Anthony Fauci.
