German study shows coronavirus might not be fatal as previously thought

Professor Hendrick Streeck, University of Bonn director of the Institute of Virology and Institute for HIV Research, joins 'Closing Bell' to discuss the university's antibody study and what it means for the coronavirus pandemic.

COVID-19 has affected an area of Germany where it's very concentrated. Gangelt has been compared as the Wuhan of Germany. It's estimated that 15% of the population has an infection with a case fatality rate of 0.37%. Streeck suggests this rate is similar across the globe.
