Covid, that’s why it is worse in Germany than elsewhere

BERLIN – Germany is becoming the sick man of Europe. Even today the incidence has reached a new record of 488 infected per 100 thousand inhabitants, the hospitalization rate continues to be high (5.5) and there are three infected with the Omicron variant, in addition to two suspected cases in North Rhine-Westphalia which are still under scrutiny. And in some regions such as Saxony, where the percentage of vaccinated people is the lowest in the country, the situation is so dramatic that there has been talk for days of possible triage in hospitals overflowing with seriously ill patients.
