Slowly, life is returning to Germany – shops, cafes and Restaurants open again. Only day-care centres and schools will remain for many of the children still closed. Fatal for social justice, say critics.

the Ministers of culture of the countries felt that way. Searches of the “mirror” to show that at the conference of education Ministers on 12. March unusual Consensus: schools should always remain open in individual cases, closures are possible.

in parallel instead of find Minister conference of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Minister presidents of the Länder, however, came to a contrary result, even if a majority was also initially against school closures. The reversal was, according to the “mirror”, is a 13-year-old Paper, which also present the chief virologist of the Berlin Charité Christian Drosten presented.

13-year-old Paper caused a rethink at the Top virologist Drosten

The free on the Internet, accessible paper would have been a short previously sent in front of a colleague from the course: it deals with an analysis of data on the Spanish flu from 1918 to 1919 in 43 American cities. Conclusion the study of the Drosten also in his NDR Podcast reported: A combination of several measures would be extremely useful. “The event stop school closures in combination are extremely efficient, especially if it lasts more than four weeks. And then, the sooner the better.” The colleague had spoken of the students as an “Infectious bridge” between individual age groups – a risk that Drosten very seriously.

This view, however, it came very suddenly. Drosten was initially, also as a proponent of more open schools. On the day before he was closing according to the level on school closings said: “This brings so much.”

After the turn of the Drosten returns: “I was gobsmacked”

At the conference, then the turn. NRW Minister Armin Laschet is said to have asked, according to the “mirror” directly: “Mr. Drosten, yesterday you argued against school closures.” The virologist replied in the affirmative – reasoned but his new assessment with the Paper. “I was flabbergasted. One of the main actors against the school closures was suddenly of a different opinion”, should be one of the Prime Minister to say today about it.

Many countries were, according to the “mirror” still cautious. However, at the Insistence of the Minister-President of Bavaria, Markus Söder and Drostens calls they came in line of reasoning to blame. “All of a sudden no longer had to justify those who wanted to, but the one that were against it,” described a participant in the news portal. The result: the school closures in all of the länder.

Drosten explained today that he had only recommended to observe the current situation and, if necessary, of regional school closings to decide.

Today, it is also clear that the comparison with the Spanish flu is only caused by the Coronavirus applicable. Because children seem to be less susceptible than adults. But still, it is unclear what role they can actually play in a spread.

How dangerous are children in the Corona-proliferation?

a study by Christian Drosten caused a stir. Just in time for the debate about a possible way out of the Lockdown at the end of April, published by the virologist, and his colleagues, a “flash study”, as he says himself. In the study, other scientists had criticized, because the methods used for the statistical analysis, were not suitable for complete.

Then revised the Charité researchers your analysis, acknowledged that the statistical methods were coarse, and published at the beginning of June a second version . , The key finding, however, remained the same: There is no evidence to suggest that children in respect of Sars-CoV-2 are not as contagious as adults.

“not proof of an Anti-Thesis was summed up in the policy quickly to the Thesis”, the “mirror”. Also the fear of children as infection bridges remained stubborn and had far-reaching consequences for many children who do not go to school.

a New study from Stuttgart, Germany

New insights has now delivered a study from Baden-Württemberg: a children’s plug in, it’s not rare with the Coronavirus as their parents. You are therefore not as a driver of the infection wave , said Klaus-Michael Debatin, Medical Director of the children’s hospital at the University hospital of Ulm, on the outcome of the investigation, on Tuesday (16. June) was presented in Stuttgart.
