Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, chronically ill 30-year-old Benni Over has lived in strict domestic quarantine in the German town of Niederbreitbach with his parents. Benni turned to Germany’s health minister to request a vaccine early

As a result of his illness, the muscle-wasting disorder Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Over can move only his fingers and has to receive mechanical ventilation, which means a COVID-19 infection would be very difficult for the family to deal with.

“We were taken by complete surprise that people like Benni - high-risk patient, care level five, rare illness, home care - are not listed there at all,” the father said. “We simply looked for a solution together. That should always be possible in our world,” said Dreyer.

German lawmakers approve 'emergency brake' virus rulesBERLIN (AP) — German lawmakers have approved a proposal by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government to mandate uniform restrictions in areas where the coronavirus is spreading too quickly. The legislation to apply an “emergency brake” consistently in areas with high infection rates is intended to end the patchwork of measures that has often characterized the pandemic response across highly decentralized Germany’s 16 states. The lower house of parliament voted 342-250 for the plan on Wednesday, with 64 abstentions. The upper house, where state governments are represented, is due to consider the legislation Thursday. If approved by both, it would apply until the end of June. Muhammad Qasim saw in a dream in 1994, that Allah SWT will fulfil the promises made to Qasim, and if not then Allah SWT is not the king of all worlds. Many of Qasim’s dreams are now coming true, this is a warning for Muslim ummah! More at Yes! Stand up Germany! Just pure non sense as usual! Politics gonna feel the power of people! Remember where you come from! same for you AP!! Tic tac!!!
