Well a 70% number for Germany is not going to be good considering a .9% mortality rate for healthy individuals - just guessing not everyone would fall into that bracket. That's over 500,000 people dead. The broader 3.4% that's 1.9 million.

They really do not have good numbers and suspect the mortality rate is actually lower as there are many they cannot account for that are positive with no symptoms and simply not reported.

Agree 3.4% is not a good number as the crude fatality ratio varies location and intensity of transmission. In China, the overall CFR was higher in the early stages of the outbreak - 17.3% for cases with symptom onset from 1-10 January and has reduced over time to 0.7% for patients with symptom onset after 1 February.

I just sent my wife to the store for toilet paper.

The psychology behind why toilet paper, of all things, is the latest coronavirus panic buy
Toilet paper does not offer special protection against the virus. It's not considered a staple of impending emergencies, like milk and bread are. So why are people buying up rolls more quickly than they can be restocked? There are several reasons.
