This morning, public TV news in the Hessen state reported the first case of Coronavirus for this area of Germany.
The only facts released by the authorities is that it's one single person, who lives in the Lahn-Dill region (north of Frankfurt, about 30 minutes of a drive).....just west of Giessen. Where the person contracted this? An unknown....same on travels or fests they might have attended.
It is being pointed out by the experts in Germany that roughly 85-percent of people who are identified with the virus....just end up with a mild situation (cough, fever, sore throat, etc). With ample fluids and moderate drugs....this group moves on. It's the 15-percent group who move to a pneumonia-like setting and require intense help to survive the virus.
Of course, what's left out of this, and would require a lot of analysis.....that 15-percent group might be made up of a lot of people who smoke, have immune issues, or have some special health condition.
