Corona Politics: Politicians Angry at Lauterbach – Domestic Politics

The bang happened in the middle of the night: Wednesday morning at 2:37 am, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (59, SPD) announced the next Corona twist!

︎ Lauterbach announced via Twitter: The quarantine obligation for corona-infected people will remain after May 1st! A setback in 30 hours: on Monday night, the minister buried the quarantine obligation!

“This was understood as a step towards easing,” Lauterbach said, explaining the turnaround. But this is precisely what a “psychologically wrong signal” is.

Chaos Karl! Once again Lauterbach has to correct himself. More recently, he has misjudged the level of incidence in Germany, among other things.

With his role behind him, Lauterbach reacts, among other things, to criticism from social associations, unions and supporters of the crown’s harsh measures. An accusation: the end of mandatory quarantine starting in May is, in fact, the end of the state’s fight against the pandemic.

But one thing is for sure: the quarantine obligation only exists on paper. Health authorities are desperately overwhelmed because of the high corona numbers and are no longer tracking cases.

Dissatisfaction in federal and state governments. Bremen health senator Claudia Bernhard (61, left): “No one can understand this anymore!” CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt (51) asked Lauterbach for a “talk show quarantine”.

CDU leader Friedrich Merz (66) is outraged by the whole traffic light. Merz to BILD: “We are slowly asking ourselves how this federal government really works. The Minister of Health announces changes to his policy on talk shows, the Federal Minister of Defense declares a secret of the facts that the leader of the SPD also happily blurts out on talk shows, and the leader of the Green Party criticizes decisions of the federal government that allegedly never existed. . Does Scholz really have his office under control or can everyone do whatever they want?”

Today Lauterbach threatens the next flyswatter! His request for mandatory vaccination against the crown from the age of 18 failed. The compromise proposal is also vacillating: mandatory vaccination from the age of 60.

Approval for this in the Bundestag today: anything but right…
