New US study: Do corona residues get into human genome
These solutions are easy to use, confirms Constanze Kurz. The online ID, on the other hand, is comparatively cumbersome. But some consumers have security concerns about private solutions. Kurz believes that there is nothing against using the function where the eID is offered. Because the electronic identity card is considered relatively secure. The ID data is always transmitted end-to-end encrypted and, according to BSI spokesman Griese, cannot be intercepted or viewed.
Do not use a cheap reader
Kurz also confirms that encryption has good standards, even if they are ten years old. The data on the chip could also not be read out unnoticed; the PIN is always required for this.

“If you want to use the eID, you should by no means buy a cheap reader for the chip. Better one with a small keyboard that cannot be hacked so easily.” And Kurz recommends always disconnecting the device from the computer after use. If you use the app on your mobile phone, you should definitely log out of the app afterwards. “Ultimately, however, the eID is only as secure as the operating system on a computer or mobile phone.”

Cologne (dpa / tmn) – Parliamentarians around Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) have presented a draft for the new regulation on organ donation. How has organ donation been organized so far and what can people do who want to donate an organ after their death?

You can currently enter on an organ donation card whether and which organs you would like to donate after death. You should always carry your ID with you. The most important facts about the organ donor card at a glance:

The document is available from various organizations such as the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) or the German Heart Foundation, via the organ donation info phone on 0800/90 40 400, from your own health insurance company or from doctors’ practices and pharmacies.
Who can donate organs?
There is no age limit, neither up nor down. Up to the age of 14, the parents decide whether to donate their children’s organs, after which adolescents can object to the donation themselves and agree to it from their 16th birthday.
Are there medical reasons for exclusion?
Depending on the individual case, yes, so the BZgA: a survived tuberculosis, for example, or certain types of cancer. They should therefore enter organ donors on the ID under “Notes / Special Notes”.
Can I only donate certain organs?
Yes. On the back of the card, owners can either list the organs they want to donate. Or they expressly exclude certain organs from the donation.
Is there a digital organ donation card?
Not directly. Many smartphones offer the option of entering health data for emergencies. Because there is no handwritten signature there, this is not legally binding according to the BZgA – unlike with organ donation cards on paper.
What if I don’t want to donate or don’t want to donate anymore?
The ID card can also be used to expressly object to organ donation. Except on the piece of paper, the information is nowhere deposited or stored. If you change your mind, you can simply destroy the ID and fill out a new one.
What would a contradiction solution mean?
According to plans by a group of members of the Bundestag around Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU), all adults in Germany are to be considered organ donors in the future – until further notice. The new draft law provides for a “double contradiction solution”. This would automatically mean every donor, but you could still say no. Otherwise – as a double barrier – one would have to ask relatives, but not according to his own decision, but whether he knows a written objection or a will of the deceased.
This contradiction solution reversed the previous decision-making solution, according to which organ removal is only permitted if an expressly stated yes. In future, you would have to expressly declare your contradiction and save this in a new central register. In the event of a possible transplant, a doctor would ask whether there is an explanation.
Munich (dpa) – Finding an age-appropriate and affordable apartment – that could soon become a problem for millions of retirees: Economic researchers, social experts and the construction industry agree on this. Because the baby boomers will soon be retiring.

“A whole generation with significantly lower pensions will then encounter rising housing costs,” said Matthias Günther from the Pestel Institute in Hanover. “Germany is approaching the” gray housing shortage “with sight”.
More senior citizens, less pension and housing
“Only five percent of all older people live in age-appropriate apartments,” said Verena Bentele, president of the social association VdK, the German press agency. It is already difficult for many retirees to pay rising rents. “Half of the 592,000 recipients of housing benefit are already over 65.”
However, the number of seniors will rise from just under 18 million today to around 24 million by 2040 – and they will have to live on significantly less pensions, as the Pestel Institute calculates in its study. The proportion of seniors who need supplementary basic income support is likely to rise from 3 percent today to over 25 percent. In short: every fourth pensioner is at risk of old-age poverty.
Narrow in the cities
A senior today lives on average on 59 square meters, an average German citizen on 46 square meters. The cities are very tight: every ninth inhabitant there lives in an overcrowded apartment, said the Federal Statistical Office. Overcrowded means, for example, that three children share a child’s room or that parents also use the living room as a bedroom.
Many seniors, however, stay in their familiar home even after the children have moved out and their partner has passed away. Especially in large and university cities, however, they are the ones who “groan the most under rent increases,” said Ulrich Ropertz from the German Tenants’ Association. A simple solution seems to be moving to a smaller apartment.
Just where to move? This often fails because of the rental costs. “As a rule, you cannot find a smaller apartment for a lower rent,” said Günther. “And those who can no longer afford their previous rented apartment will often be forced to not only change their apartment, but also their place of residence, especially in expensive cities.”
Move to the smaller apartment
With individual projects and aids, municipal, private and cooperative apartment owners tried to attract pensioners to move in the area – in Elbe communities, in Berlin, in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is important that the smaller apartment is actually cheaper, said Ropertz. But “the response is very hesitant”. Because old people “are often attached to the apartment in which they have lived for decades, to the environment where they are anchored”.
The economic researchers from the Pestel Institute see another solution in shared apartments in order to share the costs. This is also an option for Ropertz: “But many shy away from accepting strangers into their homes.”
Age-appropriate conversions and new buildings
Not only the rent, but also an age-appropriate renovation of the apartment will hardly be affordable for a growing number of retirees. If the landlord pays, he can transfer the costs to the rent as modernization. An elevator in the house can be expensive.
It costs an average of 16,000 euros to convert an apartment to make it accessible, according to the Pestel study. If the elderly then live less at risk of accidents and can live longer at home, it quickly pays off for society as well: A place in a nursing home costs 8,500 euros per year more than outpatient care.
Nationwide, three million apartments would have to be newly built or converted to meet new age requirements by 2030, said Günther. That would cost 50 billion euros. This could be achieved with government grants of 6 billion euros.
Vdk, tenants’ association and the construction industry are on the same page here. “There is no alternative to more public funding for age-appropriate apartments,” said Ropertz. “That is also a task for society as a whole.” But politics is hesitant.
The Bundesverband Deutscher Baustoff-Fachhandel, which commissioned the study and presented it with Günther at the BAU trade fair in Munich, is hoping for orders. VdK President Bentele calls on the federal government to drastically increase the funding for social housing construction and to combine it with “requirements for the renovation and new construction of accessible and affordable living space”.
Celle (dpa / tmn) – When calculating parental allowance, previous earnings are important. However, the period can be postponed as an exception, explains the Social Law Working Group of the German Lawyers’ Association (DAV).

For example, if the mother-to-be could not find a new job after losing her job due to a high-risk pregnancy. If your earned income decreases as a result in the months before the birth, the original income is used, decided the Lower Saxony-Bremen State Social Court (Az .: L 2 EG 8/18).
Fer Fall: A hotel manager was fired. She then tried to find a new job with two employers through trial work. There was no setting, because the woman became pregnant with twins: The gynecologist pronounced an employment ban because of high-risk pregnancy. After the birth, the authorities calculated the parental allowance including the zero income in the months between the loss of a job and the birth. This reduced the woman’s average income.
The verdict: The social court sided with the mother. When calculating the parental allowance, it should be noted that the lower income was due to the pregnancy-related illness. It therefore depends on whether, without the disease, the mother would have been likely to have earned a higher income in the ordinary course of things.
The court was convinced that had it not been for the high-risk pregnancy, the woman would likely have found a new job. As an experienced employee in a trade with a large need for skilled workers, she made an intensive effort and had already worked on a trial basis. She had no other health restrictions.
The Job Centers discipline Hartz IV recipients with cuts in benefits: Those who do not cooperate get less money. Does the state bring people into work – or unconstitutionally, into poverty?
Labor Minister Hubertus Heil has defended the sanctions against Hartz IV recipients who turn down job offers or refuse funding measures before the Federal Constitutional Court.
“The welfare state must have a means of bindingly demand reasonable participation,” said the SPD politician on Tuesday at the start of negotiations in Karlsruhe. This also included reductions in benefits. This should be done with a view to the community and especially taxpayers. (Az. 1 BvL 7/16)
Employment agencies want to “promote and challenge”
According to the principle of “support and demand”, the Jobcenter Hartz IV recipients who do not meet their obligations can turn off the money. In the event of misconduct that goes beyond a missed appointment, there is a risk of a three-month reduction in benefits by 30 percent of the so-called standard requirement. If you get negative feedback several times within a year, you lose 60 percent or even the entire unemployment benefit II, including the costs for accommodation and heating.
The social court in Gotha, Thuringia, considers this to be unconstitutional and has suspended proceedings in order to have the regulations in Karlsruhe under the microscope. In that case, an unemployed person had to get by on 234.60 euros less because he had turned down a job offer and refused a test job.
The man’s lawyer, Susanne Böhme, criticized during the negotiation that the sanctions often did not have the desired effect. There is a risk that those affected will develop a feeling of resignation and existential fear. That rather stands in the way of mediation. The rigid period of three months is demotivating – it doesn’t pay to change your behavior. The sanctions are primarily punitive.
Hartz IV recipients are informed of their obligations
The new Vice President of the Court, Stephan Harbarth, said that the Senate is aware that the issue is very important for many people in difficult life situations and that it affects basic needs. “We take that seriously.” At the same time, he dampened exaggerated expectations.
