Hygiene Professor virologists to blame for the Lockdown: "Of Hygiene you have no Ahnung"
The Hygiene-Professor Klaus-Dieter Zastrow has collected in an Interview with the “world’s” serious allegations against German virologists. Only because they had been mastered for weeks against a mask of duty, was the Lockdown in Germany at all necessary. Zastrow is in the area of hygiene as one of the leading scientists of Germany and about Hygiene has developed concepts for hospitals and large canteens.
The virologist Hendrick Streeck had said, and the Lockdown in this Form was not even necessary. This statement Zastrow responded in amazement: “That baffled me a little. First and foremost, the virologists have had the fault that the Lockdown came from. Because you have made week – long and the RKI, of course, with the sense and purpose of the mouth – nose protection out of the question.“
The Argument that an improperly worn mouth-nose protection would contribute to the spread of the virus, was “complete nonsense,” says Zastrow. The virologists were on their own areas, although experts, but: “Of Hygiene, you don’t have the foggiest idea, and then they tell some such nonsense.” As long as the masks have not reached a temperature of 37 degrees, would form in the masks also, but no disease-causing viruses, Zastrow more.
Fear of a second wave Zastrow has not. For it were missing, compared to the first outbreak, the “40,000 to 50,000 skiers returning from the holidays” as well as the carnival.
