The news are lately nothing but less Escherichia coli from Germany, and how everybody will die of this highly contageous bacteria of hemmorhagic diarrhea.
Well... now some numbers. There is 0,04 ‰ (permille, not percent) of German inhabitants infected. From these only one percent have died (26 persons so far). For example in Ebola virus is the mortality rate between 50-90 %!!! Here it is just one percent!
I know, that there is this saying, that with one person dying, the one whole world dies, but being sick with the chance of dying can happen to anyone with different kinds of diseases. That is why I wonder we make such a fuss when 26 people in Germany die, when between 100 000 to 150 000 persons die every day on the planet.
