[Leica] Whereas I found this article terrifying

[Howard Ritter]

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.
