LjLde-facto,02:15
LjLNoting that Drosten was one of the most cautious scientists during the pandemic, Buschmann tweeted: "We are in the endemic situation. As a political consequence, we should terminate the last coronavirus protective measures."02:15
LjLMost corona protection measures have already been lifted in Germany. However, the obligation to wear masks on public transport and in hospitals, care facilities and medical practices continues to apply. In some medical facilities, there are also mandatory tests or visit restrictions.02:15
LjLis Drosten too just fed up and it must be endemic now?02:16
LjLwho cares if stating them drops the little defenses we still had?02:16
LjLis everyone just like this, it's over when I say it's over?02:16
LjLmasks in hospitals should contingue *regardless*02:17
LjLbut no, it has taught us nothing. we have crazy antibiotic resistence, nosocomial diseases that are usually worse than the thing that brings you to the hospital in the first place... but, masks? what masks? what, do you want me to wash my hands next?02:17
de-factono its those damn politicians trying to make something out of every single word Drosten says in public02:19
de-factoso if he tells "its endemic" they try to use that for their own agenda, e.g. abolish wearing masks or such02:19
de-factoits exploiting his popularity and implying things he never said02:20
LjLwell, it being endemic does mean it's no longer pandemic02:22
LjLit can't be both02:22
de-factoit just means it stays, making waves, some smaller other bigger02:24
LjLyes, it's no longer epidemic, it's endemic02:24
LjLa pandemic is a global epidemic02:24
LjLtons of people from politicians to "top doctors" *had* made promises about it being endemic, meaning the end of the pandemic, would mean we're normalize life with it...02:25
LjLdeclaring the end of COVID as a pandemic would also mean a few financial things over "emergencies" and prices of things02:25
de-factohmm the juristicial classification would be "health emergency of national level" or such02:27
LjLjuridical03:21
