Very interesting articles and perspectives there, despite said site being based in Switzerland.

You're both welcome. I found this bit particularly interesting/reassuring:

"normal overall mortality in Italy is up to 2,000 people per day; and the average number of pneumonia cases per year in Italy is over 120,000. Current all-cause mortality in Europe and in Italy is still normal or even below-average. Any excess mortality due to Covid-19 should become visible in the European monitoring charts (https://www.euromomo.eu/index.html)."

I think that there is still very much a 'fear of the unknown' concerning CV ATM.

Surely in about a month's time, or maybe even in a week's time, things should be even clearer about the virus than they still are right now, especially when (hopefully) even more people have finally recovered. And of course there may be further developments in possible treatments/remedies by then.
