2. Alle, die nach 1970 geboren wurden, sind von der Impfpflicht ausgenommen - man geht davon aus, daß diese die Masern durchgemacht haben.
3. Bleibt eine #Impfflicht für den kleinen Teil der Pflegenden, die jünger sind, die Impfung nicht hatten und keinen Titer nachweisen.

4. es handelt sich also nicht um eine gross angelegte Massenimpfung mit einem Impfstoff von neuarrtiger Beschaffenheit, sondern eher um das Auffüllen einzelner Impflücken.
5. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass geimpfte Corona weitergeben können.

6. Nach allem was wir wissen, ist anders als bei der Lebendimpfung gegen Masern, der Corona-Impstoff sowohl wirksam als auch verträglich in der älteren Bevölkerung.
Der Ansatz wäre also, Hochbetagte freiwillig zu impfen, wenn man diese schützen möchte.

7. Die Sache soll nun von unserem ausgewogenen #Ethikrat vorgelegt werden.
(freindly reminder: Wir haben auch noch ein Parlament.)

The countries of South-East Asia are 1000 x better in social distancing than other countries. Interestingly enough, the same is true for the countries of central Africa - they are masters of social distance and measures, too.
Nigeria is in the master class of social distancing, too -
5 deaths per Million.
(New Years Eve 2020)
It´s all about social distancing.
If you want to learn how to do it right, follow Bangladesh - 43 deaths per Millon.
Maybe this Asian country gets help from some demographic factors, they surely have a low population density and a lot of single households.
But, why is that? The concept, in theory, is striking – if we reduce our contacts, we reduce viral spread. This is a no-brainer, isn´t it?
But then, why is data for lockdown so bad?
An important part of the answer in this Thread 👇
What is the concept behind the lockdown idea in detail?
It is based on the assumption that asymptomatic spread is a major contributor to the pandemic.
So lock up the people in their homes! This will stop asymptomatic transmission!
So far, so easy.
BUT: most data suggest that asymptomatic transmission is not a major driver of this pandemic.
Nobody knows the exact rate, but let's assume that one asymptomatic patient transmits the virus only to 0.5 Persons, as opposed to 3 Persons when symptomatic.
Sensitivity and Specifity of the different PCR test are not only defined by different Ct values, but also different primers and gene loci make a big difference.
PCR is prone to contamination by very small amount of viral particles.
Hypothesis: we usually don't notice contamination, especially when it is happening *before* putting the probes into the PCR apparatus. This may even mimick a super spreader event.
Contamination of a reagent. Not discovered by the laboratory, but by the local health authority which was skeptical about the sudden increase in cases.
In 2017/18, Germany was faced with the deadliest flu season of the last 30 years. Nobody took notice. We missed it. @Markus_Soeder did not protect us. And we had plenty of toilet paper.
