The RKI President, Lothar Wieler, appealed to the citizens on Tuesday. “I would like to ask everyone to take this disease seriously.” A study shows that only 41 percent of Germans thought Covid-19 to be dangerous.
Basically, he is optimistic that the measures will work. He assumes that “tangible numbers” are available until Easter, which enable statements to be made about a trend. The Death rate in Germany is currently very low at 0.8 percent. However, he assumes that the quota will increase.
