Because if a large part of the German population is immune, it can no longer spread the Virus is so strong. Therefore, herd immunity also provides those with a certain level of protection, are not immune.

“There is no precedent for the Functioning of a controlled infection”

to achieve This effect also with SARS-CoV-2, which some scientists see as a possible way out from the Corona-crisis holds, Bernd Salzberger, President of the German society for infectiology (DGI) in Heidelberg is simply wrong: “There is absolutely no precedent for the Functioning of a controlled infection,” explains the Professor.

Mouth guard is an important part of the overall strategy

Other measures, recommended by salt-Berger strongly, the use of a Smartphone Tracking App for Covid-19, as well as the Wearing of mouth protection: “The mouth-nose protection protects a Healthy to get the infection. However, he can’t help that an Infected person gives the virus by droplet infection to others. With rising Infection Wearing of the mouth-nose protection in the population can be an important part of an overall strategy,” says Salzberger.
