Summary so far is that the number of death is 2% of the number of infected.
If we assume that
* It death percantage will be the same
* That the time from symptoms to death is around 2 weeks
=> We can estimate 2% of 2 600 death per day in two weeks time
=> 50 death per day.
And that we do not want to see.
Time to be serius and start keeping the distance everwhere and always.
Which is not the case today.
