My academic ER doctor son calculated a case fatality rate of 0.03% for 
reported cases in Germany. While it isn?t clear what constitutes a ?case? in 
these data, the figure is so disparate that it cannot credibly be compared 
to what?s being reported from other parts of the world. I too would like to 
know more.
