Stock Photo - 19 October 2022, Baden-Württemberg, ---: In a basement in a hospital in Baden-Württemberg, there are ventilators that are not being used. In the early days of the Corona pandemic, hospitals in Germany received additional ventilators from the federal and state governments in order to be able to care for a very large number of patients requiring ventilation if necessary. These devices were only partially used, either because the need was not there or the devices are not suitable for invasive ventilation of acutely ill COVID patients. Many of these devices are still stored in hospital basements Photo: Bernd Weißbrod/dpa. - ---/Baden-Württemberg/Germany
