| Note the Easter holiday dip in the otherwise rising curve. |
Presently, the Corona incidence rate in Freiburg is 73.5 per 100,000 people, higher than at Easter, 66.6, but still low compared to other regions in Germany.
On March 23, step 4 of the federal opening plan became effective, i.e., if the corona incidence rate stays below 100 cases per 100,000 people over three consecutive days, indoor non-contact sport is allowed.
Kieser gym in Freiburg on Grünwalderstraße has taken advantage of this opening, and Red Baron had his first muscle training on March 24.
Clients must register and reserve their hours of practice in advance. They do their workouts and leave.
Five new people may enter the Kieser training premises of 500 square meters every 15 minutes. Half the machines for muscle strengthening are blocked. With such a timely and spacious distribution of customers, Kieser over fulfills by
far the distance rules.
Due to the low occupancy, the gym's opening is not worthwhile economically, but as the Kieser spokesperson claims, "Our focus at the moment is on maintaining health." Thank you, Kieser.
The rise of corona cases of the third wave in Germany is alarming. The chairman of the World Medical Association, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, warned, "We are now being caught up in the clinics by the infections that took place four weeks ago."
With more and more older adults getting their jabs, now the age group between 30 and 60 is concerned. The head of the Robert Koch Institute, Lothar Wieler, said that according to data from around 70 clinics nationwide, more and more younger people had to be treated in hospitals because of severe respiratory infections. Intensive care units were filling up rapidly. He added, "This development, unfortunately, shows that the situation is very, very serious."

Intensive care specialists hit the alarm, for it is easy to predict that a percentage of those infected now will later find themselves in intensive care wards. Besides, young people struggling for their lives remain in the hospital for extended periods.
Hospitals nationwide are once again preparing for an onslaught of new and, this time, younger patients. Will Germany's intensive care units enter into a period of triage?
