Death rates change based on how well the healthcare system can keep up. The Diamond Princess was best case in that sense, so the floor of the death rate is about 0.5% if your somewhere with great medical care and f cases. As for the German

As a general rule competition should do that, people will still buy the $1 widget over the identical $2 one. More may be need to deal with specifics though, like supply shortages from the virus or certain market segments like real estate.

It takes about 10 weeks to go from 100 infections to half a million, if those flu cases were covid-19 the world would be in dire straits by now.

Everything is normal now, that's the power of exponentials, things go from normal to crazy very quickly and the more people like you the quicker it gets there. Everything in China was normal 2 months ago, everything in Italy was normal
