A very reasonable man, and a true expert. Switch off the panic mode and listen carefully.

Well, if you die of pneumonia that is triggered by coronavirus, according to this guy the cause of death should be listed as pneumonia. BS.

[rabas]

A reasonable and methodical person swimming in a sea of unknowns. He wants to view it as an ordinary corona virus and not a disease associated with SARS, MERS, and killer Yunnan bats. He is also speaking of Germany and its healthcare system, which likely experienced a milder strain. He agrees there is little clear data, I think more clarity is needed about this virus, and what it can become, before we let her rip. I agree though it's urgent, the world is a far more fragile place that it was long ago.

That is not what he is saying. Listen again.
