Minister of Health Johannes Rauch (Groenen) is sharp. After a heated exchange of blows with users on Twitter, where he tried to explain the possible end of the quarantine and received serious criticism, he wrote: “That’s it for me.” In the future, only his team will tweet about Covid-related topics.
In fact, the Thursday evening on his Twitter channel was initially quite civilized. The Vorarlberger wanted to explain the background of the possible change in the existing quarantine scheme on 1 August. “The core of the matter with what is already ‘revealed’: nothing is certain yet. We are working on different options, “he says. The technical coordination is still ongoing, only then you coordinate with the federal states.
‘COVID-19 remains the disease liable’
In any case, it is clear that nobody who is sick has to work. Rauch: “It is also clear: COVID-19 remains a disease liable for declaration.”
Then it started. The minister suffered harsh criticism. “The design alone is a shame for every thinking and well -informed person. You do not have to inject undigested Hungarian stuff in advance and then say: “It was just an attempt,” a user wrote. One user even demanded his resignation. Rauch and everyone around him who is ‘fairly healthy’ must, Field clearing, she tweeted.
Rauch received a lot of criticism, especially for the tweet in which he wrote: “The fact that we have 25% more psychological disorders and suicidal tendencies in children and adolescents is one of the main reasons why I go to the bottom when it comes to corona measures, what Still epidemiological can be justified. Additional damage is devastating. “
Rauch: “I’m not as stupid as many keep me here …”
Without profound source research, that would only feed the “lateral thinker-mythology”, a user threw. When another user asked about the source or the evidence for Rauch’s claim, the minister eventually lost his mind. The 64-year-old minister wrote back that he had no time to link medical and scientific sources. And added: “I am – seriously – not as stupid as many think I am here …”
After more than three hours, the Minister of Health indicated it annoyed: “That’s for me with spontaneous Twitter,” Rauch wrote at the end and announced that in the future only his team would write news on the subject of Corona “after careful source Research”.
“Everyone I insulted, scared, irritated, restless, angry: sorry.” This tweet has since been removed.
