RKI-Files: Protocol March 16th, 2020

What the CDC is for the USA the Robert Koch Institut (RKI) is for Germany. The protocols of the Covid-19 crisis unit from early 2020 up to 2023 are now publicly available due to a court inforced freedom of information request and a leak. The protocols make clear, that politicians had a major influence on the RKI even on scientific topics and what the RKI would state to the public and what not. This is in sharp contrast to the RKI as the scientific reference, that politicions used as legitimation for their measures during the Corona crisis. Another finding is, that the theories and findings discussed among the members of the crisis unit were much more divers than officially stated and often matched ideas discussed within circles labeled as conspiracy theorists.

Update 2024-09-12
This post is part of a collection dealing with the RKI-files.

To my knowledge there is no English version of these protocols available yet. Probably due to the deepl translator. To give you an impression what the protocols look like, a colleague of mine has translated one for you: Protocol March 16th, 2020, pdf.

If you want further protocols or parts to be translated, please feel free to contact me. Usual pricing for translation with deepl assist apply.

Here are two highlights from this protocol:

Infection prevention measures
⃝ For 3 weeks, 25 people from, among others, the RKI, the BMI, the Heinrich-Herz Institute, 3 other Fraunhofer institutes etc. have been developing a tool (CGA – Corona Health App) to track who a person has talked to for at least 15 minutes in the last few weeks. As soon as the financing is clarified, this can also be used.

Current risk assessment
⃝ A new risk assessment was prepared last weekend. Risk is to be scaled up this week. The risk assessment will be published as soon as Mr. Schaade gives a signal for it.

The last one is an example of a political prescription to the RKI: The RKI stated risk had to be scaled up. From this quote this is not directly evident as Mr. Schaade was only the vice president of the RKI at that time. But in other protocols that deal with the risk assessment the BMG (Bundesministerium für Gesundheit / Federal Ministry of Health) is explicitly named. And: There has been a freedom of information request, asking for all internal documents that dealt with the risk assessment prior to the upscaling. There is no evidence neither in this freedom of information act material nor in the protocols, that this scaling up was a consquence of a reliable data assessment analysis of the RKI.
