She's just another Barack Obama. A fundamental transformation. She's using imports from the Middle East.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave a grave prognosis to parliament on Tuesday, telling members that "60 to 70%" of the German population will contract the coronavirus at some point, according to Bild.
The German tabloid reported that upon dropping the statistic in the parliamentary meeting, the room fell silent.
Germany has seen more than 1,400 positive test results for COVID-19 so far, with two confirmed deaths.
Merkel went on to tell lawmakers that additional cancellations of events and large gatherings could come depending on the severity of the outbreak.
Postponing parliamentary proceedings is also a possibility, Merkel said.

Oh.
So check the math 1% dead our of 65% of an 82 million population...533,000 deaths?
um, that’s nearly 60,000,000 people.
I think the death rate is a lot higher if hospitals are overwhelmed.
Well one of those Germans is my 94 year old adopted Great Aunt, so get your rear in gear, Angela!
If this goes on into the summer expect the EU to completely unravel.
Because she is fear mongering the people to scare them.
I think she’s wrong. I think it’s 57%. (See, I can pull numbers out of my ass, too.)
Is she still welcoming the free-flow of immigrants from Iran?
Either fear mongering or she could be giving the worst case scenario so that, in that event, she can say “see, I told you it was inevitable.”
Or maybe she’s just telling the truth. I don’t know her well enough to say whether she’d exaggerate something like this.
This all depends on how cooperative people in various countries are in taking measures to prevent the spread. If people are thoughtful about this one would think 60-70% is way too high. If enough people refuse to adapt then maybe it’s in the ballpark.
This will give hope to the local Ghouls who need a high death count in order to be right.
So if 2-3 percent die of the 65% of the population who she says will get it, then she is saying Germany will have 1 to 1/1/2 MILLION DEATHS? C'mon man!
That would be a .14% death rate. That’s probably what you would expect from an epidemic of the common cold.
Germ many
I would wager my allowance* that we US Citizens will fare much, much better under the leadership of DJT than our German chums will under Murk-elle.
*(If I actually got an allowance)
.
So tell me again how wonderful the European Union is, with no border control, unfettered immigration, and free exchange of Pandemic virus?
That seems to also be the epidemiologist number for the entire globe.
Global population 7.8 billion
x2/3 = 5.2 billion
1% = 52 million deaths
Greta is pleased and says it is a good start.
