Germany accepts intensive care patients from other EU countries

All 16 German federal states have now admitted intensive care patients from other EU countries or at least offered treatment.

A survey by German weekly Welt am Sonntag shows that almost all 16 federal states now care for intensive care patients from other EU countries. The number rose significantly, especially from the Netherlands.

All federal states have now admitted Covid-19 patients or at least offered intensive care beds and in some cases provided medical equipment or medical expertise.

North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg and Saarland currently care for most Covid-19 patients from other EU countries. According to the Stuttgart state government, 28 patients from France and two from Italy are treated there. There are 23 French patients in Saarland. According to the North Rhine-Westphalian state government, ten patients from Italy, eight from France and 39 patients from the Netherlands have been treated clinically.

While the demand from Italy for available intensive care beds in Germany are in decline, the number of inquiries from the Netherlands has recently increased significantly. The state government in Lower Saxony is “in close contact with the government of the Netherlands in order to be able to provide administrative assistance in some difficult cases if the local health system gets into a situation of temporary overload”.

According to Johns Hopkins University 25 587 people in the Netherlands have so far tested positive, the number of those who died was much higher than in Germany, at 2 700. Experts attribute the higher mortality rate to the significantly lower number of intensive care capacities in the clinics in the neighboring country compared to Germany.

According to feedback from the federal states, the number has now increased to 40 patients within a week.

But the number of Germany’s Covid-19 cases grew by 2 537 over the past 24 hours to climb to 123 016, according to the Robert Koch Institute. The death toll also increased by 126 to 2 799.

WATCH: Migrant ‘youths’ riot and attack police vehicles in Brussels during lockdown

Migrant ‘youths’ in Brussels, Belgium rioted and pelted police with stones and heavy objects on Friday night into Saturday afternoon. Initial reports suggest that the rioters may have even stolen a gun from a destroyed police vehicle.

The riots began in response to a fatal accident that occurred in Anderlecht, Brussels after a 19-year-old attempted to flee from a police check. After news about the accident had spread, migrant youths began encouraging one another on social media to take revenge on police, Flemish newspaper Het Nieuwsblad reports.

“Despite the lockdown and the ban on gatherings, social media had called for a Saturday afternoon meeting in Anderlecht,” said police spokeswoman Adeline Roty.

It wasn’t long until the rioting commenced. Large groups of migrant youths started several fires in the area and pelted police with glass bottles, stones, and large objects. Two police officers were injured, one police vehicle was completely destroyed, and other police vehicles suffered significant damage during the violence.

The rioters were also able to steal one or more firearms from the police vehicle that was destroyed, according to eye witness reports.

Eyewitnesses of the chaos said that a young immigrant man ran away from the destroyed police vehicle with gun after loud shots were heard.

Germany: Afghan killed a German mother carrying her baby in her arms with a beer bottle

“When the woman was found lying on the ground with her skull bashed in, the baby lay next to her” … Brutal murder of a German mother by an Afghan in the recreation area Auwald in Leipzig in broad daylight. The 37-year-old woman, with her baby in her arms, was knocked down with a bottle and seriously injured by the perpetrator on Wednesday morning at about 11:40 a.m. on the Neue Linie, a forest path in the south of Leipzig. On Good Friday, her martyrdom in a Leipzig intensive care unit resulted in her death – despite the intensive medical treatment initiated on the day of the crime. The perpetrator – according to initial findings it was her ex-boyfriend – was able to flee first, and on Thursday afternoon the 30-year-old was arrested. The accused was born in Afghanistan and of course has German citizenship. According to the mainstream press “the victim is also a German”. The police had been looking for the perpetrator in the victim’s surroundings from the very beginning. The suspect is said to have harassed his former girlfriend in the past. He was investigated – as usual in such relationships – for stalking. The murderer of the still nameless mother “fled” to Germany as a child. The baby is safe and is being looked after.

“The identity of the victim has not yet been clarified beyond any doubt”, explained police spokesman Alexander Bertram, as well as why the dispute arose and the exact course of the attack. “Further information on the alleged course of events as well as on possible backgrounds of the crime cannot be given at present in view of the ongoing investigations”. Witnesses reported that the victim was knocked down with a beer bottle. The investigations of the public prosecutor’s office and the police against the 30-year-old Afghan are now being continued because of the urgent suspicion of murder, as the suspected perpetrator has at least fulfilled the murder criterion of insidiousness. Insidious, however, is the mainstream media coverage of the brutal bloody deed of a perpetrator from the Hindu Kush, while the German Armed Forces have been defending “our freedom” there for years with billions of euros and a high death toll of murdered German soldiers. Submissively, most mainstream media covered up the details of the crime – as always.

Political correctness meets the pathogen: The Spanish disaster

Spain is one of the European countries most battered by the pandemic. 

13,798 people died in just over two weeks. Spanish nursing homes have been devastated by the virus.

True, Italy made many tragic mistakes in dealing with this tragedy. But my country was the first in Europe hit in such huge numbers. 

Spain saw what was going on in Italy, which had already been dealing with Covid-19 for two weeks before it appeared in Madrid and Barcelona. In Italy, the first deaths occurred on 1st of March. But still, on March 8, Spain filled the squares for Women’s Day.

They put their shameful ideological and political interests – “women’s liberation” – before the common good. Virtue signaling came before battling the virus.

Spanish epidemiologist Fernando Simón, in a national press conference, said there was no risk in participating in the March 8 rallies and marches. “If my son asked me if he can go, I would tell him to do whatever he wants,” he said. Three Spanish government ministers who led the women’s rally later tested positive for the virus, as did Prime minister Sánchez’s wife and mother.

“It is evident that with what we know today, all of us would have acted differently,” Mr. Sánchez said. It is a lie.

The West is so compromised, weak and deluded that it did not begin to defend itself from this pandemic even when my country, Spain’s close neighbor, was already filling our cemeteries and morgues.

Even Juan Luis Cebrián, co-founder of the newspaper El País, a well-known spokesman for the Socialist Party, wrote: “The crocodile tears of so many political leaders who claim that no one could have imagined such a thing such as the coronavirus do not make any sense. There were not only those who imagined it: they foresaw it, and they seriously warned about it”.

It is worse than that. Their tears reek of guilt and shame.

When a lethal pathogen meets political correctness, the result is 13.798 deaths. Spain had to halt the approval of a new euthanasia law. It doesn’t need it. Covid-19 is now doing the job much more efficiently. Call it a death wish.

Could the EU kick out the Dutch? Stunning threat in Brussels backlash against Netherlands

A growing row inside the European Union has led one member-state leader to question whether the Netherlands are “truly committed” to the Brussels-led project, hinting that the Dutch should “be left out” of EU deals. Portugal’s Prime Minister Antonio Costa has stunned fellow EU leaders after raising the idea of leaving the Netherlands out of EU agreements. The astonishing remarks implies that the Netherlands could be kicked out of the European Union, amid growing outrage at the coutnry’s conduct in the latest coronavirus response talks. The Netherlands held up the talks after blocking demands from Italy, Spain and France for so-called ‘corona-bonds’ where the EU would issue joint shared debt to help finance a recovery.

Mr Costa spoke after the EU reached an agreement for a £430bn rescue package for countries hit hardest by the pandemic.

He said the Netherlands’ attempt to block economic support to fight the coronavirus raised questions about their future in the European Union.

The Portuguese leader said: “If under these conditions it’s not possible for Europe to ensure a common response to this challenge, this is a sign of great concern for those who believe in Europe.”

Mr Costa went on to question whether “there is anyone who wants to be left out” of the EU or eurozone.

He added: “Naturally, I’m referring to the Netherlands.

“There is at least one country in the euro zone that resists understanding that sharing a common currency implies sharing a common effort.”

Following the EU deal, Dutch Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra boasted that his side had won the argument, saying the Netherlands is and “will remain opposed to eurobonds”.

At the virtual summit, EU ministers rejected the demand to share out the cost of the crisis by issuing corona-bonds.

Mr Hoekstra said he was “very satisfied” with the outcome on the talks, tweeting that “there won’t be any eurobonds” and telling Dutch TV stations “sometimes you have to put your foot down.”

He said he feared that corona-bonds would enable rampant, uncontrolled spending in southern European countries hardest hit by COVID-19, the cost of which northern countries would be required to share.

However, Italian Prime Minister Guisepe Conte has again warned he could refuse to sign off on the final deal until there were what he described as “adequate measures” on the table – likely a reference to coronavirus bonds.

Mr Conte described the 500 billion euro deal which the ministers unveiled as “still insufficient”.

The French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire hailed the agreement as the most important economic plan in EU history.

It is not the first time Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa has exchanged furious insults with his Dutch counterparts.

Last month, Mr Costa called the Netherlands “repugnant” for their refusal to compromise with EU member-states.
