Austria plans lockdown for those not vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19

Only around 65% of the population is fully vaccinated in Austria.

AUSTRIA’S GOVERNMENT HAS said it wanted a nationwide lockdown for those not vaccinated against or recovered from the coronavirus, while Vienna city authorities said they would start vaccinating children as young as five – a first in the EU.

Only around 65% of the population is fully vaccinated in Austria, a rate described by Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg as “shamefully low”.

Salzburg and Upper Austria states, which have seen some of the worst case rates, are already introducing a lockdown for the unvaccinated from Monday.

This means they will not be able to leave the house except for reasons such as buying essential supplies, exercise or seeking medical care.

“The aim is clear: we want on Sunday to give the green light for a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated,” Schallenberg told a press conference.

He said lockdowns across the country would be enforced with “random” spot checks.

The measure will have to be signed off by parliament and a meeting of the heads of regional governments over the weekend before it can be rolled out across the country.

Vienna Mayor Michael Ludwig said in a statement today that the city authorities there would also be introducing extra measures in order to “keep in check … the dangerous development” of infection rates in the city.

Among these will be vaccinations for children between five and 11 as of Monday, making Vienna the first EU region to vaccinate children of this age.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has not yet issued an authorisation for any of the vaccines to be used for this age group but member states have the right to do so anyway to respond to a public health emergency.

In addition, Vienna residents will now be able to get a third booster vaccination only four months after their second dose, not six months as originally planned.

In order to attend events of more than 25 people or go to bars and restaurants in the city in the evening, not only will proof of vaccination or recovery be required but also the results of a PCR test no more than 48 hours old.

‘Protecting the majority’

Also today, Health Minister Wolfgang Mueckstein announced he would order compulsory vaccination for health workers but did not specify when this would enter into force.

Mueckstein said that availability in intensive care units in the hardest-hit areas was becoming “ever scarcer”.

Schallenberg said the government had been reluctant to consider the latest measure but justified it by saying: “The majority of the population, who have done the right thing, who have protected themselves – now we have to protect them too.”

“I don’t accept that the solidarity of the protected majority with the unprotected minority should go as far as a lockdown,” he said.

He called again on those who have not yet been vaccinated to get the jab.

Last week, the government had already said that only those vaccinated against or recovered from the virus would be allowed into restaurants, hotels and cultural venues.

Mueckstein said today that vaccination numbers had increased in the past few days.

In elections in Upper Austria in September a party set up specifically to oppose coronavirus restrictions won six percent of votes and a seat in the regional assembly.

So far, more than 11,640 people infected with the coronavirus have died in Austria.

On Wednesday the daily new case rate in the Alpine EU member of 8.9 million hit 11,398, the highest number recorded since the beginning of the pandemic.

    The study also found the booster shot was 81% effective in preventing COVID-related deaths

    @Stephen Kearon: Appreciate the link. My point still stands though. Basically a live trial is taking place in Israel according to the article and the deductions are it might or it could offer X amount of time protection, it’s a prediction pure and simple. My point again to anyone is why were and are is the term “fully vaccinated” still being used in Irish media. They aren’t according to the article and are taking part in a wait and see trial. Why are people being being discriminated against if they question this?

    @Toon Army: Yes, indeed it may have, and I wasn’t suggesting that a Covid infection is more lethal than a flu infection in a CHILD. However, the vast majority of flu cases are during the winter, whereas the point I was making is that Covid is not a winter-only virus. So, although the flu is more deadly to children, such infections only occur in winter, which is a fraction of the year. But with Covid, the infections occur all year round, resulting in a much greater number of cases, and a greater number of deaths even though it is currently less lethal in CHILDREN.

    @Alan Wright: my life is pretty much back to normal.

    The only thing missing is my weekly night out. I was planning to start that again this coming week, but decided against it. Not because of covid, but because I feel that €40 is a bit much to spend for one person on a night out that involves no alcohol or clubbing. It used to cost me €10 for the same night out a few years ago. The reason for the jump is added transport costs not previously needed, and increased food costs due to now being on a wheat free diet.

    So.. go on and tell me what liberties I’m missing due to covid.. because I’m not seeing any. In fact, my diet reduces my liberties far more.

    it is not in question, there have been multiple studies on all of your questions.
    It’s exactly what you’d expect from a vaccine.
    There are studies showing how much less effective they get.
    A vaccine is a preventative medicine.

    @Spartacus Ireland:

    Proof you are misinformed and are promoting vaccine misinformation:

    Facts:

    1. October 9th 155/369 (42.0%) of the notified deaths had an epidemiological date 14 days or more after receiving all recommended doses of vaccine and are considered as vaccine breakthrough infections – see technical note.

    https://web.archive.org/web/20211020121003/https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/vaccinationstatusweeklyreports/Death%20and%20Vaccination%20Report.pdf

    2. November 6th: 292/606 (48.2%) of the notified deaths had an epidemiological date 14 days or more after receiving both doses of a 2-dose regimen or 1 dose of a 1-dose regimen and are considered as vaccine breakthrough infections – see technical note.

    https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/vaccinationstatusweeklyreports/

    From this data we see that between Oct 9 and Nov 6, there were a total of 237 COVID-19 deaths, of which 138 (58%) were fully vaccinated and 99 (42%) were unvaccinated (a few had one dose, which offers little protection against Delta). All who died were older than 50.

    There are 1.5 million people in Ireland over 50 and >98% are fully vaccinated (this has not changed since the end August, over 2 months ago). Therefore, there are 1.46 million fully vaccinated and 26,000 who remain unvaccinated older than 50

    Now let’s look at the death rate for vaccinated v’s unvaccinated over 50-year-olds.

    138 deaths / 1.46 million fully vaccinated = 0.01%

    99 deaths / 26,000 unvaccinated = 0.38%

    Unvaccinated (all >50) were 38 times more likely to die from COVID-19 compared to someone who is vaccinated.

    This is proof that vaccines work.

    @Spartacus Ireland: when the vaccine first came into use it was tailored towards the previous dominant strain. Not only was it more effective in general it was almost 100% effective at preventing transmission too, as per Israeli study. A new strain came along that worse so those percentages came down, but its still clearly effective at both preventing most serious illness and death and also reducing the number of cases. Remember we had higher case numbers in January when we were in full level 5 lockdown. Now we’re fully open. You don’t need to be a genius to figure that vaccines are the reason. As for how long the booster lasts for we can’t know now because it hasn’t been around long enough. This is the first time in history that a vaccine has been introduced during a pandemic.

    @Spartacus Ireland: good science questions to a degree and then there is just denying science which I’m afraid your “questioning” falls under…
    The vaccine is not under trial.

    @Spartacus Ireland:

    Proof you are misinformed and are promoting vaccine misinformation:

    Facts:

    1. October 9th 155/369 (42.0%) of the notified deaths had an epidemiological date 14 days or more after receiving all recommended doses of vaccine and are considered as vaccine breakthrough infections – see technical note.

    From: https://web.archive.org/web/20211020121003/https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/vaccinationstatusweeklyreports/Death%20and%20Vaccination%20Report.pdf

    2. November 6th: 292/606 (48.2%) of the notified deaths had an epidemiological date 14 days or more after receiving both doses of a 2-dose regimen or 1 dose of a 1-dose regimen and are considered as vaccine breakthrough infections – see technical note.

    From: https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/coronavirus/novelcoronavirus/surveillance/vaccinationstatusweeklyreports/

    From this data we see that between Oct 9 and Nov 6, there were a total of 237 COVID-19 deaths reported, of which 138 (58%) were fully vaccinated and 99 (42%) were unvaccinated (a few had one dose, which offers little protection against Delta). All who died were older than 50.

    There are 1.5 million people in Ireland over 50 and >98% are fully vaccinated (this has not changed since the end August, over 2 months ago). Therefore, there are 1.46 million fully vaccinated and 26,000 who remain unvaccinated older than 50

    Now let’s look at the death rate for vaccinated v’s unvaccinated over 50-year-olds.

    138 deaths / 1.46 million fully vaccinated = 0.01%

    99 deaths / 26,000 unvaccinated = 0.38%

    Unvaccinated (all >50) were 38 times more likely to die from COVID-19 compared to someone who is vaccinated.

    This is proof that vaccines work.

    So the vaccines protect you from the virus but not against the unvaccinated, apparently?

    That’s some yarn to be spinning in fairness

    @Seán Gordon: why would you call people 1700 years ago lunatics for believing what they were thought,they didn’t know any better.if you said 100 years ago people would fly in space you would have been crazy…
    ignaz semmelweis..another man considered crazy from his beliefs at the time and nobody would believe him

    how much knowledge do you have of today’s science and where did you learn it or did you figure it out all yourself..people believe all sorts of weird things and I try not to judge them ,most people today have different beliefs that are unscientific and can’t be explained, seen or proven but are acceptable to society so who exactly are these lunatics of today..are people who think covid certs will save them from covid or stop it spreading lunatics.

    @SquintEastwood: the earth was also deemed 100% flat by most lunatics for at least another 300 years after this. Imagine what those modern day lunatics believe now.
