Some 58 million Germans will become sick with the coronavirus if Angela Merkel's predictions are correct
BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she expects that two-thirds of Germans — some 58 million people — will be infected with the new coronavirus, but urged people to"not overload" the country's health system.
"We must assume that 60 to 70 percent of the population will become infected," the chancellor said, noting that the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions were particularly at risk.
