Thuringia's Ramelow Urges Caution, Investment in COVID-19 Response

Thuringia's Minister President Bodo Ramelow (Left Party) has been vocal about managing the COVID-19 symptoms, urging caution and investment in public health services. He recently expressed concerns about the efficiency of the public health system in the USA and advised against overreacting to new cases.

Ramelow warned against 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater', suggesting a balanced approach to dealing with the virus. He acknowledged the need to live with the virus, stating, 'We have to live with the virus' and 'not hide in our apartments'. Instead, he advocated for a closer examination of the infection situation and calm in response to new cases.

Ramelow's concerns about the public health service's efficiency were evident when he noted, 'there's still a lot of sand in the gears there'. He welcomed the strengthening of the public health service, indicating his support for improvements in this area.

Meanwhile, BioNTech, a German company, has received significant support from the federal government for COVID-19 vaccine research in the USA. The company secured 250 million euros from the government, with the Federal Ministry of Education and Research providing an additional 375 million euros to accelerate vaccine production during the pandemic.

Bodo Ramelow's approach to the pandemic emphasizes careful consideration of the COVID-19 symptoms situation and investment in public health services. His advice, 'not to throw the baby out with the bathwater', reflects his stance on balancing response measures with the need to live with the virus. BioNTech's substantial government support for COVID-19 vaccine research in the USA demonstrates the federal government's commitment to combating the pandemic.
