He states that the worst case scenario has 30 Germans per day dying from Coronavirus. Yesterday, 52 Germans died from it, and 403 total have died. The numbers are rising steeply as the disease progresses in those with a serious case. Next week, the # of Germans dead from it is highly likely to be over 1,000. It rose yesterday at a rate of 20% in a day. I put the dead in 7 days in Germany at 1,444, an increase of over 1,000 in a week, where I start with 403 dead and assume that 20% rise in deaths per day. It may still be greater as the # of cases has risen dramatically , more of those cases will be in the critical stage, and Germany in some places may well see a scarcity of ventilators.
Now, the death toll in Germany as of April 6 is at 1,735.
It was at 433 as of the end of March 28. That is a 300% increase (the total has quadrupled) in 9 days.
7 days out from my prediction, the death toll in Germany was 1,444, exactly what I predicted.
In the past few minutes, the German total went up to 1776 with 192 deaths today. Daily new cases have been all over the map, so potentially falling with 4 days of falling cases, but it is too unstable to tell what's going on here. Deaths had stabilized or fallen for those days but today there are a lot more, so I'm just going to hazard a guess that they will be roughly 1500 in the next week on the notion that they haven't found a good treatment yet and that the vastly higher # of cases they're dealing with are going to produce a higher average death toll. The odds are that even if this guy had been predicting 30/day for 100 days=3,000 total, Germany will already surpass that next week, with almost all of them since March 19.
