latest research from Bonn is showing that case fatality is well below the previously expected figure 0.37% My bet that by the time this is over, there will be 0.2% CFR, no different than seasonal flu. The country needs to be gripped by the minerals and told to man up (unless you are over 70 or have a chronic condition, in which case hide at home and don’t lick door handles)

my second bet is that once this passes, the weekly fatality stats will be well below average for at least 6 months. This has just wiped out the unfortunately Ill and aged. And the Ill + aged.
