2023 has begun, it is the third year since the outbreak of the corona pandemic. And for the first time it seems that it could be over: the famous virologist Christian Drosten he said just before the end of the year that we are now moving from a pandemic to an endemic one. That means the disease is now considered native, so it’s the one that keeps popping up here. Other endemic diseases in Germany are influenza (flu) or cold viruses.

Corona numbers yesterday and a week ago: Incidences and new infections in Germany
How significant are the current crown numbers?
Experts have long assumed there will be a large number of RKI-unrecorded cases, mainly because by far not all infected people have had a PCR test done. Only positive PCR tests count in the statistics. Furthermore, late registrations or transmission problems can lead to a distortion of the individual daily values. Here, too, data comparisons are only possible to a limited extent due to test behavior, late entries or transmission problems. In general, the number of new infections and deaths recorded varies significantly from weekday to weekday, as many federal states do not report them to the RKI, especially on weekends, and report their cases later in the week.
