–Rising infection and full hospitals
When the country’s chancellor announced the closure of the vaccinated last week, he pointed out, among other things, that the infection is at a record high and that they had to get rid of it. a “shamefully low” vaccination rate.
The authorities then hoped that the untested measure of closure for the unvaccinated would slow down the increase in infection and get more people to be vaccinated.
But so far the infection rates have continued to rise. On Thursday, they reached a new peak:
In Salzburg, the hospitals are completely overloaded and the Salzburger Landeskliniken warns that they will no longer be able to give people the help they need.
Kronen newspaper points out that there is a group that, if they can not help everyone, should choose who can be saved and not, so-called triage.
