In positive news, Germany has slowed it rate of doubling down to nearly a week, currently 67K cases (645 fatalities) over 33K (159) on March 24.

Other good news is that 13.5K people have recovered.

Let’s hope that they all stay immune.

Still means that we will likely see 100K cases and 1000 fatalities before Easter…

Using latest figures, the mortality rate in Germany is now 1%, with over 75% of reported cases still active. Looking at closed cases only, the CFR is 4% (the same as China’s probably bogus numbers which has only 2.6% still active), but hopefully as more cases resolve, the rate will decline to my prediction of 1.5%.

Last night, a friend who lives in Chicago told me that another resident on her floor was taken to the hospital. Who knows how many may contract the disease by sharing an elevator with someone ill or perhaps even just using the elevator some time later.
