The largest mortality risk group is men over 84 years of age. Out of 100 cases of illness, an average of 17 die, and of affected women in this age group “only” ten. The picture is similar for people over 75 years of age: eight out of 100 men die on average, four out of 100 women.

A growing current problem is also the intensive care physicians themselves: in Carinthia and Burgenland, nine percent are currently unable to work.

In addition, reports about the capacities of our hospitals in the federal provinces – with the exception of Vienna – are causing alarm bells to ring: With conditions Tuesday in Burgenland – where there is a need for more artificial respirators – only ten are still available around the Neusiedlersee. In Tyrol half of all heart-lung machines are in use and “occupied”. It becomes narrow with free intensive care beds for corona patients: In Burgenland there were still four, in Kärnten only three and in Tirol still 17.
