Munich, Germany clinics: The situation is getting worse

The Munich Eye –

Hospitals are again groaning more under Corona: 576 hospital beds are currently occupied by Corona patients in Munich hospitals. 37 of these are intensive care beds and 15 are intensive monitoring care beds. The increase compared to the previous week is massive: 98 beds more in total. But those are just the bare numbers as far as Corona patients are concerned. What they mean exactly is more complex. What is clear in any case is that patients are currently coming to the hospital “with” rather than “because of” Corona: The clinic on the right bank of the Isar, for example, sees “no increase in relevant Covid-19-related pneumonia” and also no increase in severe courses of disease that have to be treated in intensive care units because of it. That’s good news. Nevertheless, their care in the hospital is costly because of isolation.
