The SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach expects the intensive care units to be overloaded with corona patients before Christmas.
Lauterbach said on Sunday evening in the political talk “The right questions” on BILD TV: “In three or four weeks we will have such a high number of cases that we will have completely overloaded the intensive care units. We will have to fly the patients from one city to the next. ”
It is about people “who are already infected”. Lauterbach: “We can’t avert that anymore.”
He just feels sorry for “how much time we’ve already lost”. So one should have been much faster at the state level long ago.
The carnival events of the past week should not have taken place like this either. And: “Even the Christmas markets cannot really be planned or carried out in the current situation. We have to be honest about that. ”
The SPD politician continues: “We have a crazy wave that is currently running. We have to act immediately. “
