Zum Tod von Sally Perel: Er ging, um zu leben

Sally Perel trat als Jude in die Hitlerjugend ein, um unter Nazis zu überleben. Seine Geschichte behielt er jahrelang für sich. Danach machte er Aufklärung zu seiner Mission.

Would improving ventilation actually help in schools? A study in Italy actually looked at more than 10,000 classrooms and found classrooms equipped with mechanical ventilation systems decreased the relative risk of COVID infection by at least 74% compared to classrooms with only natural ventilation ( https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2022.1087087/full ).

Increasing ventilation reduces SARS-CoV-2 airborne transmission in schools: A retrospective cohort study in Italy's Marche region

IntroductionWhile increasing the ventilation rate is an important measure to remove inhalable virus-laden respiratory particles and lower the risk of infection, direct validation in schools with population-based studies is far from definitive.MethodsWe investigated the strength of association between ventilation and SARS-CoV-2 transmission reported among the students of Italy's Marche region in more than 10,000 classrooms, of which 316 were equipped with mechanical ventilation. We used ordinary and logistic regression models to explore the relative risk associated with the exposure of students in classrooms.Results and discussionFor classrooms equipped with mechanical ventilation systems, the relative risk of infection of students decreased at least by 74% compared with a classroom with only natural ventilation, reaching values of at least 80% for ventilation rates >10 L s−1 student−1. From the regression analysis we obtained a relative risk reduction in the range 12%15% for each additional unit of ventilation rate per person. The results also allowed to validate a recently developed predictive theoretical approach able to estimate the SARS-CoV-2 risk of infection of susceptible individuals via the airborne transmission route. We need mechanical ventilation systems to protect students in classrooms from airborne transmission; the protection is greater if ventilation rates higher than the rate needed to ensure indoor air quality (>10 L s−1 student−1) are adopted.

The German language has quite a few animalistic verbs:

fuchsen ("to fox") = to annoy
hechten ("to pike") = to dive
reihern ("to heron") = to puke
dackeln ("to dachshund") = to walk slowly
aalen ("to eel") = to bask
vögeln ("to bird") = to have sex
einigeln ("to hedgehog in") = to curl up
hamstern ("to hamster") = to hoard
schlängeln ("to snake") = to wriggle
stieren ("to bull") = to goggle
unken ("to toad") = to gripe, augur doom
tigern ("to tiger") - to walk tigerishly

Animaljoy our language!

If a company donates to the governing party then shouldn’t it be excluded from bidding for government contracts?

Isn’t that a clear conflict of interest?

Mieten werden derzeit an die Inflation angepasst, bei über 10% Inflation ist das für viele Mieter:innen eine Katastrophe! Die Mietpreisbremse ist daher ein Gebot der Stunde!
