A signal its warning signal to the German Society to the children population that not only other infections increasing again very very quickly but also the number of deaths are increasing exponentially the number of days are increasing in parallel to the number of infections and so they has to be the continue to appeal to the population to he rules to a mosque to stick to hygiene protocols and so on. One has to say that germany is not as badly affected affected as other countries but these are tens of thousands of people who have been affected by somebody dying in their family thats right we can even say germany was perhaps very lucky i didnt suffer nearly as badly as other European Countries even though were seeing this increase now very sharp increase so whats causing that i think what you have to say is that the 1st wave was of a calm or was stopped in the sense of by using the most heavy measure that was available a total lockdown of the country. And as a result the number of infections did get reduced very quickly and people then had thought well this is over. That the virus has in some sense been defeated during the summer months the doctor who obviously relaxed people relaxed they went into gatherings they had parties and so on. As a result as the autumn started as the full season started here in the Northern Hemisphere people continued to go into politics to go into balls to meet in clubs and in side in locked in closed room. Is a very dangerous behavior and thats the result of what were seeing all well hans germanys chancellor has been speaking out to the public about the coronavirus pandemic she again called on germans to help fight the rising infection rates lets have a quick listen to what she had to say the isnt miss muffet was giving us the it was we are not helpless in facing the virus our actions determine the strength and speed at which it spreads and the imperative thing is for all of us to reduce contact to meet fewer people than those i think we all stick together we will meet the norms challenge posed by this virus. So. Theyre stressing the importance of individual responsibility which i found very interesting so does that mean shes not about to impose a nationwide lockdown and response of the search that is something that the government is trying at all costs to avoid a nationwide locked on instead one is trying at the moment to focus the measures on areas where the numbers of infections are in danger of getting out of control so theres at least one area in germany and southern bavaria which at the moment has a local locked already but what shes saying is that everyone in germany has the responsibility to to to actually stick to the rules and what shes been doing has been very unusual she has been accused of being alarmist but in fact her warnings have proven correct and we could go into you know weekly podcast she criticized the regional leaders in germany saying that there measures were not strict enough and now this we can help out because what shes in fact on is repeated her part because of last week so shes really raising her finger to the population and saying stick to these rules be careful theres still a chance of getting this under control if you wear mosques wash your hands stay away from people and do not go into gatherings so heres hoping that people actually heed the warnings from the chancellor on the pond thank you very much always good to talk to you well of all the countries in europe belgium is among the hardest hit by the pandemic it has the highest number of covert 1000 infections per capita the region of vallone and already has a night time curfew but its hospitals are still straining to cope and staff fear theyll soon face some very hard choices.

Experts however are quick to criticize the measures. The regulations wont bite you fast enough the situation is set to get dramatic like the following year region went with its own measures extending its nighttime curfew the region is on the brink of a total lockdown in the hospital in charlotte while this patient has survived the worst. Period of all but i was really scared ones this to seize is horrible i didnt take it seriously at 1st. One life saved but more patients will be coming.
