Was wir für die anderen tun können: Nicht hinfliegen! Und zwar mindestens so lange bis wir alle geimpft sind.

Halte ich für großen Unsinn. Wir reisen seit Menschengedenken in Gebiete wo es auch mal Krankheiten gibt, gegen die es keine Impfungen gibt... beispielsweise Ebola-Gebiete. Und nein, auch nicht 60-70 % der Bevölkerung in den Gebieten hatte Ebola.

Viele Grüße
