About 10 times more deadly is a pretty significant difference. And all "lol, Boomer" poo poo aside that's still incredibly funny here 6 months after even 9gag got tired of it, the average here is moving quickly into the "this poo poo might kill you really likely" age bracket.

Where are you getting the 10x from? Last I read the numbers kept changing and most media reports were skewed disproportionately by early numbers from China and recently Iran, and even if you pretend there were no false positives there are a lot of problems with relying on that to quantify the risk to the population of, say, Germany

""WHO says coronavirus death rate is 3.4% globally, higher than previously thought" posted:

World health officials said Tuesday the mortality rate for COVID-19 is 3.4% globally, higher than previous estimates of about 2%.

“Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva. In comparison, seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected, he said.

The World Health Organization had said last week that the mortality rate of COVID-19 can differ, ranging from 0.7% to up to 4%, depending on the quality of the health-care system where it’s treated. Early in the outbreak, scientists had concluded the death rate was around 2.3%.

Although I'm not sure I trust this numbers.

Also Ramelow just got elected PM in Thuringa with abstentions from CDU and FDP (except for one single petty No vote from one of them, I'm guessing Kemmerich). So in the end CDU/FDP intrigued themselves into massive national backlash and a 10 points loss in the polls only to end up with the exact same result they could have gotten to begin with. :laffo:

Still kinda mad that the scriptwriters of this hell reality chickened out of the "half the Landtag gets Corona quarantined the day before the vote" plotline tbh

Second greatest crime since your lot burned down Rome, but I guess that explains why the churches in NRW refuse to participate in anti-pandemic measures.

Also explains the American churches taking credit.

Or South Korea's main vector being one particular Christian church.

Fluchthilfe für Nazis: Der Vatikan und die Rattenlinie

quote:

Tausende NS-Verbrecher flohen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg über die sogenannte Rattenlinie vor allem nach Südamerika - mit Hilfe des Vatikans. Am 2.März wurden die Archive von Pius XII. geöffnet. Wie viel wusste der Papst?

The secret archives have been opened, so we can now find out more about the exciting story of how the catholic church helped nazis escape from germany after the war.

Reminder: Ebert, who allied himself with conservatives and Nazis instead of the workers movement, literally ordered Rosa Luxemburg's death and fought for the end of the communist revolution in Germany. Now, the SPD's foundation is named after him.

Reminder: SPD top politicians routinely join the board of noted humanitarian organizations like Gazprom, Deutsche Bank and any other they enabled during their political tenure.

Reminder: The SPD is responsible for the precariat's expansion and wage depression post 2000.

Reminder: The SPD's only stable political agenda in the last decade has been to give out post-election presents to old people, ruining the future, because it's the only thing that gives them votes.

Reminder: The SPD is the second most richest party in the world, after the CCP.

Reminder: A few idiots still vote SPD in this country.

Coronavirus is simply a specific kind of virus that's with us for million of years and this kind of virus has been named in the Sixities. Many of our regular Erkältungskrankheiten are Coronaviruses, and most Coronaviruses are rather harmless to us. This one is just a very specially bad version. No Aluhut needed just because the name was used a year before - SARS and MERS were both Coronaviruses too for example.
