According to data compiled by Johns
Hopkins University, as of Tuesday, April 7th in the morning, Germany has
recorded more than 103,300 cases and recorded more than 1,900 deaths. On
Tuesday, the number of cases rose by 3,834 in 24 hours. So far, more than
36,000 people have recovered from Covid-19 - the respiratory disease caused by
the novel coronavirus.
Economics postdoctoral researcher
Dr. Jean Roch Donsimoni, told The Local that the total number of coronavirus
cases will grow throughout, "all the way to September".
"What we will expect to see
dropping is the number of new cases every day and that will happen as we
approach the peak," he said.
“If indeed the current policies in
place continue as initially planned – that means the shutdown lasts from March
14th until April 19th – then, using our model, we predict that at the peak of
the pandemic, we will see between 0.2 and 1.5 million individuals actively
infected with Covid-19.
“This figure only takes into
account people who are confirmed to be ill. It therefore excludes asymptomatic
carriers, those who have already recovered, and those who have passed away.”
