As many as '60 to 70 per cent' of Germans will be infected with the deadly #coronavirus, Chancellor Angela Merkel warned today, as the contagion threatened to rip through Europe. Addressing a parliamentary group meeting of her Christian Democratic Union party in Berlin today, Merkel said that 58 million Germans could contract the disease if it spiralled out of control, according to insiders who spoke to newspaper Bild. But Health Minister Jens Spahn pointed out during the meeting that 80 per cent of all infected patients would have almost no symptoms. The infection is now transmitting between humans in nearly 30 countries across Europe, the World Health Organization has warned today. Fears of the life-threatening infection have now engulfed the continent, which has recorded more than 17,000 cases and over 700 deaths in Europe alone.

Chilean authorities are searching for a gang of thieves who broke into Santiago International Airport on Monday afternoon and stole $14 million and 1 million euros that had been shipped there by Bank of America. Chile's investigative police said the armed robbers entered the airport terminal's warehouse in a vehicle that bore the DHL logo and completed the heist in just two minutes. A bystander who stood several yards away from the warehouse's entrance recorded the moment a male suspect shouted at workers to get 'on the ground, on the ground.' Several suspects later appeared to walk out of the warehouse before they boarded the fake DHL vehicle and a black pickup truck.
