[Premium-Rx] Coronavirus - How to protect yourself

[Heinz Breuer]

Hello Nicola,
thanks for your advice.

I hope you and your parents are safe.

In Germany the situation got worse yesterday when there was an increase in confirmed Covid-19 infections by 50% to 2.369. So far only 6 people died but this will increase rapidly. 
If the rate of infections increases by 50% over the next days we have 8.000 on Sunday and 135.000 Sunday next week. About 12% must be hospitalized and 5% need intensive care. No way!!!

I guess we will see a curfew like in Italy early next week. This is the only way to stop the rapid increase. 

I hope our politicians understand it. Until two days ago they discussed if there should be soccer games with up to 80.000 visitors tomorrow. Fortunately they realized that this would be a very bad idea.

Stay safe and keep healthy.
