The author wrote that Bergamo went into a harsh lockdown in the tenth calendar week of 2020; caregivers fled and logistics collapsed. After that, the death toll rose sharply once and never again. Hamburg reacted three weeks later; nothing happened there. He wrote that it was not viruses that were deadly, but people. https://t.co/OaikpMSGay #Bergamo #COVID19 #Pandemie #IT #DE (translated)
The Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel is increasingly suffering from the effects of climate change, particularly due to more frequent heavy rainfall and drought stress, which significantly complicates the maintenance and preservation of this historic park. #BergparkWilhelmshöhe #Klimawandel #Denkmalschutz (translated)
The aunt of the animal gave the all-clear and wrote that it was a cut wound that was already a few days old. It looked good and there were no complications. With some care, the affected person could return to her group next week. https://t.co/VIZMjb8Wbo #Gesundheit #Wunden #Pflege (translated)
The Social Association SoVD sharply criticizes Health Minister Carsten Linnemann, as the planned care reform offers caregivers less support and financial flexibility for urgently needed vacation time. #Pflegereform #UrlaubFürAngehörige #Sozialverband (translated)
The author wrote that after the introduction of a wealth tax, no wave of emigration among the wealthy was to be expected. Small fortunes of people with middle incomes would be completely consumed for care, while large fortunes remained untouched. He described a wealth tax to improve schools as reasonable and fair. #Vermögenssteuer #Bildung #Gerechtigkeit #DE (translated)
The author wrote that lobby groups have an influence on the healthcare system. He explained that statutory health insurance costs 1 billion euros per day. Patients, caregivers, psychotherapists, and women have the weakest lobby; when cuts are made, it usually starts with them. This must not remain the case, he added. #Gesundheitssystem #Patientenrechte #Pflegekräfte #DE (translated)
Markus Frohnmaier criticized that Sven Schulze from the CDU called the AfD's peace initiative in Saxony-Anhalt outrageous. From his perspective, it is rather outrageous that the CDU is giving billions to Ukraine while cuts are being made in Germany for nursing and health insurance. Frohnmaier claimed this is the reason for Schulze's removal and why the AfD is becoming stronger every day. #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #AfD (translated)
"Representatives of this government coalition are trying to convince us that a Russian general is coming here to tend graves, while our general will allegedly be conducting important intelligence operations over there, for which all our allies around the world - yes, even in the galaxy - will be grateful to us," explained MP Juraj Krúpa from the right-liberal opposition party "Freedom and Solidarity" (SaS) ironically on Friday in Bratislava. #Slowakei #Russland #Militärbeziehungen (translated)
A civilization declines when it fosters executions as a form of entertainment, according to Curtis. (translated)
Yvonne Kussmann wrote that there are still no traces of Muhamad M., who escaped from the secure psychiatric facility Altscherbitz in Saxony on September 25, 2026. According to a report by FOCUS from the previous day, the 22-year-old Afghan used his first approved accompanied outing in the unsecured clinic area to escape. The only caregiver who accompanied him could not hold him back, Kussmann wrote. She asked the clinic if there was a directive to respond exclusively verbally in the event of an escape and not to use direct force. As a comparison, she referred to Ahmad N., who, according to her account, escaped from the secure facility in Wiesloch during a similar outing on September 8, 2023. Caregivers had followed him to the later crime scene; there he fatally stabbed the 30-year-old cashier Lisa with a knife he had previously stolen in a TEDI store. Kussmann also requested explanations regarding an assessment expressed by the clinic, according to FOCUS, that no further crimes were to be expected due to long-term medication for several weeks. She asked among other things when the medication had started and how long Muhamad M. had been stable before his escape. He had been accommodated since October 2025; on June 30, 2026, the regional court in Leipzig ordered his permanent accommodation. At the time of the judgment, further crimes were anticipated, and according to Kussmann, there was also a lack of insight into his illness and willingness to undergo treatment. The clinic rejected both questions, citing safety aspects, patient protection, and medical confidentiality. They also emphasized that those accommodated were clinic patients with a statutory entitlement to treatment and not inmates of a correctional facility. The medical management has its own assessment and discretion in therapeutic measures. Kussmann wrote that she forwarded her inquiry to the responsible ministry and shared the search alert again. In the meantime, another photo has been published. https://t.co/rNiWoDmLNM #Flucht #Sachsen #Gesundheitssystem (translated)
The author wrote that care is a task for the entire society and people with greater capacity should take on more responsibility. This creates room for better care, relieves younger contributors, and strengthens social cohesion. (translated)
The author wrote that care is a matter of humanity and solidarity, not just costs. In his opinion, a reform must involve people with broader financial means more and protect people with low income and wealth. He referred to a new column in Die Zeit. (translated)
Exploratory talks with extremists are a low point. Union faction leader Thorsten Frei believes in the coalition – despite them denigrating their own "achievements." #Rentenreform #Pflegereform #Koalition (translated)
Thorsten Frei, the chairman of the Union faction, speaks in an interview about the challenges and reforms in German politics, particularly regarding pension and long-term care insurance, and emphasizes the necessity of structural changes to improve the quality of life for people, while also addressing coalition discipline and the ongoing discussion about childless individuals in care financing. #Rentenreform #Pflegereform #Koalition (translated)
The decision to collaborate with left-wing extremists is an unprecedented political taboo break by the SPD and the Greens! CDU Secretary General Franziska Hoppermann (44): “The decision to collaborate with left-wing extremists is an unprecedented political taboo break by the SPD and the Greens! Those who make pacts with forces that trivialize left-wing anti-Semitism and maintain contacts with clan criminality sacrifice the compass of our rule of law.” #Antisemitismus #Koalition #Berlin (translated)
The author referred to Prof. Martin Werding, who predicted in the article that the combined contributions to pension, health, long-term care, and unemployment insurance would already exceed 45 percent by 2030 and would approach 50 to 55 percent of gross wages by 2050. https://t.co/C3diHRaoHW #Sozialversicherung #Rente #Gesundheitswesen #DE (translated)
Daniele Ganser wrote that Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) is one of the German politicians who aspire to a stable peace with Russia. Wagenknecht called on October 7, 2026, on X for a federal government that seeks dialogue with Moscow and warned of an escalation that could lead to war. She also criticized that Chancellor Friedrich Merz traveled to Kiev last weekend with money and promised billions to Ukraine while cuts were being made in Germany in pensions, care, and health. #Frieden #Politik #Deutschland (translated)
Sahra Wagenknecht stated that the proposal should be the first to persuade a German parliament to clearly oppose the federal government's policy towards Ukraine and advocate for peace negotiations as well as compromises to end the war. From Magdeburg, a signal for peace politics should be sent to the federal government. Germany needs a government that seeks dialogue with Moscow again, rather than advancing an escalation that could end in war, she wrote. Wagenknecht accused Chancellor Friedrich Merz of having traveled to Kyiv again last weekend with extensive financial support. He is handing out billion-dollar checks in Ukraine while simultaneously cutting pensions, care, and health services in Germany, she wrote. This policy at the expense of the citizens must come to an end. #Frieden #Ukraine #Politik (translated)
