Germany shatters another daily record with 65,000 cases

  1. Everyone will get it eventually, it’s endemic. At present the German death rate seems quite low still so it looks under control as much as human intervention can make it so.

    Hopefully it won’t get so bad that people cannot be treated as the system is overwhelmed, but seems to me that’s about all a government can realistically do, make sure it all keeps ticking over and nothing in the process outright fails. And far as I can tell, Germany seems on top of that. For now, anyway.

  2. Cases really mean nothing. Deaths are what matters. If there are a million new cases a day, but deaths are well below what they were last year, then who even cares? We are going in the right direction. The majority of people are vaccinated now.

    The virus is becoming endemic. It’s not going away. It is going to linger, and probably get worse each winter, just as colds and flu do. Do people forget that the common flu kills 50,000+ people per year (in the US)? This is an inevitability. We have to return to complete normalcy, for the sake of the world.

  3. I really don’t get why media seems so obsessed with cases, this is just fear mongering in my opinion. 95% of the affected people are unvaccinated and the death numbers amongst vaccinated are barely visible.

    So who cares?

  4. Just for comparison: Bremen (a city state), with the highest vaccination rate (82%) has a 7-day-incidence of 140 infected per 100.000 and an average of 0 death cases per day. While Saxony, the state with the lowest vaccination rate (58%) has a 7-day-incidence of 761 infected per 100.00 and 27 death cases per day. And there are counties in Saxony with more than 1000 infected per 100.000 people.

  5. Yeah, current COVID-19 situation is again dramatic, and not only in Germany. Our Ukraine’s total COVID cases cross 3 million with new record for daily coronavirus deathshttps://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/ukraine-hits-record-daily-coronavirus-deaths-81056714

  6. I wonder how many flu cases. Also, I wonder when people will start realizing this is an endemic disease and stop posting hysterical articles about it.

    Imagine if they posted daily traffic fatality stats or heart attacks. Everyone would be afraid to drive or eat bratwurst. The stupid media hysteria needs to stop.
