Covid_19 in Austria & Germany

          Austria, a countrry of 8.99 million, is currently experiencing a severe fourth wave of the pandemic with the seven-day incidence over new cases per 100,000 inhabitants stands around 1,000 according to current data. Around two-thirds of Austria's population is fully vaccinated which is among the lowest rates in western Europe. Demand has increased in recent days after an initial lockdown just for the unvaccinated went into effect earlier this week. Also earlier in the week, Vienna became the first in the EU to begin vaccinating children ages five to 11. Schallenberg placed the blame squarely on the unvaccinated Friday saying they were responsible for an "attack on the health system" and calling vaccines the "exit ticket" out of the pandemic.

          Coronavirus latest - AUSTRIA will plunge itself into a nationwide lockdown from Monday as Covid cases soar and hospital corridors fill with dead bodies. Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said the lockdown would run for a "maximum of 20 days" and imposed a new vaccine mandate. From February 1 next year, all Austrians will also be required to have both jabs, Schallenberg announced. Those who refuse could face heavy fines. Austria registered a whopping 15,145 new Covid cases on Thursday, smashing last November's peak of 9,586 confirmed cases. Covid rates have been rapidly rising in recent weeks as the country grapples with one of the lowest vaccination rates in western Europe - roughly 66 per cent - and among the highest infection rates with a seven-day average of 990.7 per 100,000 people in the past week. Experts warn the death toll could reach 2,000 by the end of this week, according to Kronen Zeitung. "Despite months of persuasion, we have not succeeded in convincing enough people to get vaccinated," Schallenberg told a press conference on Friday and blamed those refusing to get jabbed for an "attack on the health system". "Whipped up by radical anti-vaxxers, by fake news, too many among us didn't get vaccinated. The results are overcrowded intensive care units and enormous suffering," he added.

          Austria’s lockdown for the unvaccinated will become a full national Covid lockdown, starting on Monday. It is the first Western country to return to a full lockdown, which Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said would last a maximum of 20 days. There will also be a legal requirement to get vaccinated from 1 February 2022. Schallenberg is responding to record case numbers and one of the lowest vaccination levels in Western Europe. Many other European countries are imposing restrictions as cases rise.

Germany latest figures - 63.924 new infections since November 20th 2021.

         The President of the Robert Koch Institute, the German federal government agency and research institute responsible for disease control and prevention, Lothar Wieler with clear words with regard to the current infection figures in Germany. "The whole of Germany is one big outbreak," said the microbiologist. - He also said that the district health offices are no longer able to keep track of the latest infection lines and that we therefore have to assume an unreported figure that is at least double to triple as high. this means that we could have up to 180,000 new infections today. "It's five past twelve."

Immer wieder treffe ich auf Leute, die mich über die Maskenpflicht und Corona aufklären möchten mit Aussagen wie „Die Maske ist total unnötig“ & „Du weißt schon, dass es Corona gar nicht gibt“. Oft genug habe ich schon versucht meine Sichtweise zu erklären, aber trotzdem wird es nicht akzeptiert und muss diskutiert werden. Mittlerweile habe ich es aufgegeben und halte mich zurück. Denn egal mit wem ich spreche es kommt immer die gleiche Antwort „ist wie die Grippe“ & „kenn wem und der/die hatte gar nichts“ & „an Influenza sterben mehr“. ❗️EGAL, WIE DU ÜBER COVID DENKST, ICH BITTE DICH, DEINE MASKE AN ÖFFENTLICHEN ORTEN ZU TRAGEN. 👏🏻❗️ . . . . . . . . . . #covid_19 #corona #coronatime #österreich #wien #austria #vienna #maskenpflicht #nachhaltigkeit #feminist #quarantine #qurantinelife #tiktok #selfie #fashion #outfit #love #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #lesbian #tomboy #tomboystyle #androgynous #genderfluid #nonbinary #lockdown #feminist #blogger #gesundheit https://www.instagram.com/p/CHTFMmXhLfr/?igshid=ryptlwm50g73

Covid in Europe (I) - various reports

          The new coronavirus variant Omicron has been detected in 13 people who arrived in the Dutch capital Amsterdam on two flights from South Africa. They are among 61 passengers who tested positive for coronavirus. It comes as tighter restrictions come into force in the Netherlands, amid record Covid cases and concerns over the new variant. This includes early closing times for hospitality and cultural venues, and limits on home gatherings.

          Swiss voters have turned out in near-record numbers for a referendum on the national COVID-19 restrictions. After an unusually tense and hostile campaign, early projections show a majority favor the current law. Under it, only people who have been vaccinated, recovered or tested negative are allowed to attend public events and gatherings. The law also provides billions of Swiss francs in aid for workers and businesses hit by the pandemic. Switzerland is the first European country to put its pandemic measures to a public vote.              France's minister for overseas territories is on his way to Martinique and Guadeloupe, following days of violent protests on the Caribbean islands. The French government has vowed a firm response to the unrest.  Local opposition to COVID-19 measures imposed by Paris, is adding to longstanding grievances over representation and living standards.

             Thousands of people protested in Austria's capital Vienna on Saturday. A day after the country's government announced strict new coronavirus restrictions -- another lockdown, and compulsory vaccination next year.              Noisy crowds, cheering, whistling and banging drums, streamed into Heroes' Square in central Vienna. Many protesters waved flags and carried signs with slogans such as "no to vaccination" and "enough is enough". "I want my freedom back," says this woman. "One would think we live in a democracy but now, this is a coronavirus dictatorship." Roughly 66% of Austria's population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, one of the lowest rates in western Europe. Daily infections are still setting records there, even after a lockdown was imposed on the unvaccinated this week. That led the government to announce on Friday that Austria would go back into lockdown on Monday - vaccines will be compulsory as of February 1. "We are against the lockdown and the Austrian government policies as far as the coronavirus goes. This has been going on for two years and there is no end in sight. Something new is announced every day and we don't know what we can believe anymore. That's the situation." Many Austrians are skeptical about vaccines, a view encouraged by the Freedom Party (FPO), the third-biggest in parliament. The FPO had already been planning a show of force in Vienna on Saturday when Friday's announcement fired up its base. Although party leader Herbert Kickl could not attend because he has caught COVID-19, thousands answered calls by the FPO and other vaccine-critical groups to protest across the city.

             As many governments tighten restrictions to curb surging coronavirus infections, there's growing anger from opponents of the measures. Tens of thousands have rallied across Europe. Campaigners say authorities are failing to strike the right balance between protecting public health - and upholding personal freedoms. Thousands of Austrians chanting 'resistance' marched through the streets of Vienna in reaction to the latest government measures: compulsory vaccinations and a new national lockdown. The protesters are outnumbered though - by active COVID-19 cases in Austria, which total nearly 200,000. The government says the lockdown and compulsory vaccinations are the only way to stop hospitals being overwhelmed. As winter bites in Europe, cases are surging, compelling governments to act. But also sparking more and more protests. Thousands turned out in Croatia to express their anger. Protests in the Netherlands spilled over into violence, destruction and dozens of arrests. Across Europe, frustration and fatigue are rising along with infection numbers, leaving the authorities to face the challenge of dealing with unrest in the community - on top of the pandemic.

             As infection-rates rise sharply across Europe, several countries have reimposed measures to tackle the pandemic. But the restrictions have also triggered a wave of new protests. In Brussels thousands of people have rallied against the regulations and a possible vaccine mandate. There have also been demonstrations in other European countries - including Austria, the Netherlands and Croatia. Despite these demonstrations, governments are looking at curbing the fourth wave with lockdowns and restrictions. Coronavirus cases are seemingly out of control in some countries here in Europe. But huge differences exist in infection rates across the continent. Spain and Italy, two countries hit hard at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, are coping with this latest coronavirus wave relatively well. It's a very different picture here in Germany or neighboring Austria, where a national lockdown begins on Monday. The WHO has warned Europe to act fast to avoid hundreds of thousands of coronavirus deaths.

LTnT - Lifestyle, Travel & Technology Podcast Attention !! Season 2 Episode 11: Life After COVID-19 is now live!! In this episode of the Lifestyle, Travel & Technology podcast, the hosts discuss what life could look like after the pandemic, after the Corona virus (if it even will ever disappear). They ponder how life has already changed for themselves and how much more it could change. Since nobody knows for certain how life will be after lock-downs have been lifted and travel has resumed, the hosts sourced popular questions from various media outlets and answered them with their opinions on how it could turn out. They cover topics related to tech, traffic/transport, airplane traveling and costs, pollution (green recovery vs fossil fuel frenzy), the overlooked public health sector and simply global trade and global relations. They also discuss some of the fake news circulating the web at the moment that has many people believing in them! . . . . . #ltnt #ltntpodcast #projectsocialremedy #micedup #internationalpodcast #international #thirdculturekid #tck #tckpodcast #wienerpodcast #igersvienna #podcastersvienna #life #covid_19 #fakenews #conspiracytheory #vaccine #austria #vienna #österreich #wien #podcasting #spotify #podcastlife #podcastersofinstagram #itunes #applepodcasts #stitchersofinstagram (at Vienna, Austria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CANMGR4FafG/?igshid=5tljzn9qn13i
