Car crashes into trees in a forest near Weißkirchen an der Traun
EGGENDORF IN THE TRAUNKREIS / WEISSKIRCHEN AN DER TRAUN
A traffic accident in a forest near Weißkirchen an der Traun (district of Wels-Land) ended lightly on Saturday morning.
A car driver crashed into a car - according to initial information, presumably due to an evasive maneuver - against trees and bushes. Fortunately, the driver was not injured. Initially, it was difficult for the fire department to get to the site because the exact location of the accident was not known. Finally it turned out that the accident had occurred on the municipal border between Eggendorf in the Traunkreis and Weißkirchen an der Traun. The road was closed to traffic for about an hour.
When approaching the accident, the fire department discovered another accident site, where further measures had to be taken after the actual clean-up work.

The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Taylor Swift and many other international stars perform a virtual benefit show from Saturday to Sunday night to collect donations for the fight against the corona virus. A German band is also part of the internet concert.
The event "One World - Together At Home" will kick off in the evening with a six-hour live stream (from 8:00 p.m. CET) with performances by numerous celebrities. This is followed by a two-hour show at 2:00 p.m. featuring musicians such as the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez and Pharrell Williams.
The concerts can be seen on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (further information and reception options can be found here ). The event was organized by the US singer Lady Gaga and the activist community Global Citizen.
Support for health workers and WHO
Global Citizen claims to use the virtual show to support health workers in the corona crisis. In addition, donations are to be collected for a World Health Organization (WHO) fund to combat the virus pandemic. According to the organizers, a total of around 100 celebrities from music, television and sports want to take part in "One World - Together At Home".
A performance by the Hessian pop band Milky Chance is also planned. Philipp Dausch and Clemens Rehbein, who were born in Kassel, were touring the USA and Canada according to their original plans. Because of the Corona crisis, they had to postpone their performances. Now the two 27-year-old musicians are the only German artists to attend the big benefit concert.
She doesn't do that nervously, said singer Rehbein of the German Press Agency. “Perhaps excited and anticipating, but not jittery. It's cool for us to be there. "
German band Milky Chance with three songs
Milky Chance will contribute their songs via live stream from Kassel. "We still have our rehearsal room or our home studio here," said Rehbein.
His bandmate Dausch will travel from Berlin especially. "Philipp comes to Kassel and we'll see each other at a safe distance," said the singer. Milky Chance will play three songs, according to Rehbein "a mixture of new and old songs".
The musicians have published several “stayhome sessions” on Internet platforms such as Spotify and Instagram, in which they play acoustic versions of songs from their new album - obviously with a long reach. Through these pieces, according to Rehbein, the organizers of Global Citizen became aware of Milky Chance.

"War Dogs": This is the incredible true story behind the arms dealer story
At one moment still a penniless masseur in Miami, at another moment million dollar arms dealers for war zones: The story of "War Dogs" with Jonah Hill and Miles Teller sounds incredible - but is based on a true story.
This is how David ( Miles Teller ) really did not introduce himself in " War Dogs ": As a masseur, he not only serves proverbial sleazy customers, but also hardly brings any money home for himself and his girlfriend Iz ( Ana de Armas ). There school friend Efraim ( Jonah Hill ) has a big offer: David is to enter into the arms trade with him and bring about multi-million dollar deals with the US government. He agrees - and soon fears for his life in war zones, as he gets caught up in a web of lies and is targeted by the FBI.
The story of “Joker” director Todd Philips ' “War Dogs” seems to have sprung from Hollywood's blossoming imagination, but is based on a report by journalist Guy Lawson .
In “ The Stoner Arms Dealers: How Two American Kids Became Big-Time Weapons Traders ” he describes how two smoking mid-twenties from Miami rose to ever larger deals with international arms dealers.
The true role models David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli initially used tenders from the US government, which were too small for established suppliers, but which still earned the two millions.
MAILBOX COMPANIES AND MUSICIAN CAREERS
As in "War Dogs", they used a mailbox company called AEY, which Diveroli had taken over from his father. In fact, they both knew each other from school and Packouz was really a massage therapist - he originally planned a music career, for which he apparently wanted to generate start-up capital with the arms deals.
The big deal of 2007 ultimately also ended in reality for the two arms dealers. The Afghan army was to be supplied with equipment. The Chinese ammunition that Packouz and Diveroli had provided for this was under the US embargo - whereupon they simply disguised the delivery with Albanian logos.
The whole thing finally came to light and the FBI cracked the duo. While Diveroli was building for four years, Packouz got away with seven months of house arrest.
THE GUNMAN AND THE PACIFIST MASSEUR
In his reportage, which he later expanded into the non-fiction book "Arms And The Dudes", Lawson also describes that the two dealers of death had very different backgrounds: While Packouz had never had anything to do with weapons before, Diveroli seems to have a deep passion for business to have been there and personally had a preference for heavy artillery.
Of course, screenwriter Stephen Chin also allowed himself some artistic freedom for "War Dogs" - for example, the duo's dangerous journey through Iraq did not exist in reality.

Return to normal depends on vaccination
According to experts, the return to normalcy in times of the corona virus can take a long time. According to the infectiologist Christoph Wenisch, it is dependent on the development of a vaccination against the virus, as the doctor in the Ö1 series "Visiting the Journal" on Saturday. Wenisch heads the infection department at Vienna's Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital, one of the centers in Vienna for the treatment of Covid-19 patients.
“Covid-19 is only over when there is a vaccination. Seven billion people are said to be vaccinated. I see a big security issue there, and everything that is cleverly checked takes time, ”said Wenisch. “Normal everyday life only exists after Covid. That will be at the earliest in the 2022, 2023 year when the vaccination is there. Anything else would be premature to say, ”Wenisch continued.
At the moment Austria is “well-positioned” internationally, also with regard to the cities. Wenisch cited Vienna as an example: "Vienna stands there brilliantly," says the doctor, "we must not mess it up." Physical distancing is currently the key to success. "If we endanger him, we would increase the number of cases and then we will get into problematic situations," said the domestic CoV expert.
Glimmer of hope for medication
In the hospitals, the situation has developed positively in the past few days as far as CoV-infected people are concerned, said Wenisch. The feared overload of infection departments and intensive care units has so far failed to materialize. But that would not last, Wenisch warned again - Audio this in oe1.ORF.at .

DEBATEFighting CoV: is the direction right?
Remdesivir is a great hope. According to media reports, the drug of the US pharmaceutical company Gilead Science shows success in the treatment of seriously ill Covid 19 patients and patients. The results of the ongoing study should be available in May or June. Then, according to Wenisch, one would see “whether it promises what we hope for”.
Care for non-Covid 19 patients
Wenisch takes a critical view of the fact that treatments in patients with non-Covid diseases have been put on hold in hospitals. "You have to end it acutely. You shouldn't discriminate against someone because of your illness. That has to stop, quickly, ”says the infectious disease specialist.
In the course of the first relaxation of the coronavirus regulations, the hospitals are now to be gradually opened again. Doctors' offices should also slowly return to a “normal operation”, as Minister of Health Rudolf Anschober (Greens) said on Friday at a press conference.
Anschober: Protection of the "first priority" system
However, the gradual opening of hospitals and in the health sector as a whole must take place “regionally differentiated”. The protection of the system remains "first priority", which is why the restrictions for visitors will remain, says Anschober. There will be "no normal situation for a long time" in the hospitals.
"All hospitals have started planning work on how to restore normal operations," said Michael Binder, the Medical Director of the Vienna Hospital Association (KAV) and a member of the Coronavirus Taskforce's advisory board. In the future, it will no longer only be acute operations, but also scheduled operations. In any case, care must be taken to ensure that the patients do not carry Covid diseases into the hospitals. "It works with a test strategy," said Binder.
Vienna starts operating again
Around 2,000 operations have not been performed in Vienna due to the coronavirus pandemic. As of next week, the operating theater in Vienna's hospitals will start up again. For the first time, it is working with private clinics.
In contrast to the stationary operation, the outpatient departments in Vienna's hospitals remain closed for the time being. It will closely monitor the development of Covid 19 and then decide in two to three weeks whether and when the outpatient clinics could open again, it said. So reassignments for operating dates are not yet possible - more on that in wien.ORF.at .
There are also some rules when starting up medical practices: There should continue to be based on advance booking by phone and efficient waiting room management. The aim is for patients to wear mouth and nose protection in the waiting room. An engagement - analogous to the trade - does not consider Anschober necessary.

Brian May: Fighting Corona in the UK a shame
Queen guitarist Brian May has accused the British government of serious shortcomings in fighting the Corona pandemic. It is an "eternal shame" that even the doctors and nurses in the clinics are not adequately protected when treating the infected, said the rock musician.
The state health service NHS (National Health Service) has been in poor condition for many years. "And that's the price we have to pay now," May said in a podcast on Sky News on Saturday. The 72-year-old, who is also an astrophysicist, spoke of a "national tragedy". There is a lack of protective equipment, tests, ventilators and hospital staff in the UK.
