Germany's COVID-19 rate highest since pandemic began | DW News

In Germany, the number of new daily coronavirus infections has reached its highest level since the pandemic began. The public health authority says the seven-day average has climbed past 200 cases per 100,000 residents. With the vaccination rate stagnating at around 70 percent, more and more states are adopting tougher restrictions for unvaccinated residents.
Children under 12 aren't yet eligible for a coronavirus vaccination – so for months, they’ve had to wear masks in school. Now some German states have done away with mandatory masks for primary schools – but with infection rates soaring, not everyone is happy about the decision.

Chile has more infected people too, and about 85% is vaccinated, even with third jab. Vaccination is not the solution.

I used to enjoy watching this channel to get European news. After watching Nina Haase's propagandic, biased, blame-the unvaccinated, so-sure-of-her-message performance, I have to say that this channel has lost all credibility in my eyes. Look at GM's comments below.

It's a never-ending story - just let the doctors do their work without political involvement. ultimately it is shown here that all measures are for the bin

[blairanderson]

But how is it possible that they are more cases now when vaccine is a thing (and especially with such high vaccine rates)? I just find it confusing, not trying to be an anti-vaxxer. It just seems like vaccination is not as effective in achieving collective immunity as we were promised, and I’m not surprised people are starting to doubt vaccines.

See, it'll never end... It's never about "health", everything is political. Two-tier society is coming back people! It's slow and subtle, but surely. Speak up before history repeats...

[stuarthys]

Probably the error is thinking that vaccination reduces number of cases instead of likelihood of hospitalization

[lovebites]

Way to go Germany and the world. This is a endemic and not going away. Merry Christmas.

Since the jabs, it keeps on going, stop the jab, stop the Covid! Government overreach!

[SeanThomasCross]

But how about deaths? Cases are irrelevant if nearly everyone survives thanks to better treatment. Stop with the fear.

‘Pandemic of the unvaccinated’ .. rubbish

[TheDarkPan]

Everyone who values his bodily sovereignty should get out of the city and become untrackable as soon as possible.

I have heard how many people say also just this weekend (I'm vaccinated so I'm safe .) This is what people have been made to believe as the government make different regulations for vaccinated and non vaccinated , data show even if you vaccinated you can still get sick and you can still infect otheres so living with the attitude I'm vaccinated I'm safe is a very dangerous attitude to have but this attitude is all on the politicians as they make discriminatory regulations .

You might think now that 70% of the population is immunized cases will go down same thing is happening in Canada 🇨🇦

[martinmana]

Stay strong neighbours, best wishes from CZ

[spot_of_tea]

This ain't about race fellas, it's about government control. Vaccinated people and unvaccinated people carry and transmit Covid. If you're vaccinated or unvaccinated cool. It has no effect on me or others.

[justinwilson]

I can't imagine being a doctor and advocating for the spread of diseases....like just quit dude

[masonhancock]

If overloaded hospitals are the real concern, then why not simply build covid hospitals? It's been almost 2 years and this rationale is wearing thin.

[Karanvir]

Anyone else see irony in the fact that the paediatrician is named "Dr Maske" but says kids should no longer have to wear masks?

[paxvobiscum]

I see those vaccines are working really well...

[localguy]

One would expect with 70% immunization rate the cases would drastically go down. I think its time we get non biased people to take at how effective are vaccines.
