Does anyone know the reason that the death rates in France, Italy and Spain is around 10%, but in Germany its only 1.3%?

Not according to the infection rate.

They have more ICU beds, but I'm not sure that would make such a massive difference.

They started testing a lot earlier on and were preparing for this before the fucker blew its load

Again, this didn't make much difference with rate of infection.

i thinks it's several factors. Things I have heard:

- Italy has way older population on average
- Italy had a super-spreading event early at a huge soccer game in the north when this was off the radar and then resulted in Lombardy totally blowing up (opposite of flattening a curve)
- Italian healthcare infrastructure not as good as Germany
- Italian hospitals have more antibiotic resistant bacteria bc the country has allowed purchase of antibiotics without a prescription for years
- Germans started testing comprehensively sooner
- Germans obey social distancing laws (have seen videos where police loudspeakers remind people to stay indoors - sounds like a movie from 1940s)
- Germans are superior race not as good at soccer so didn't have superspreading event

Sorry to hear that. Good luck.

"Luckily" unemployment probably won't grow exponentially as this goes on. It'll grow, but it won't grow at the rate it has grown this past two weeks.

I mean, like, theoretically and shit.
sorry, dude

Sure it would. This thing has a 7 day incubation period. If you're testing you're getting people out of commission faster and they're infecting less people.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

And this didn't happen in Germany. So either they weren't testing and Donny is hallucinating again, or testing doesn't matter. Probably the first.

Germans are arguably better at soccer, but yes, all this is true.

How you react to the virus as a nation matters. Norway is another example, where we had many infected early on, from travelling to Italy and Austria. But the numbers of dead here are comparatively far less than in Italy and Spain.

I also linked to an article earlier that says that more than a thousand die each year in Italy due to resistant bacteria, while the same number in Norway was far far lower. A lot of corona patients get a secondary infection. If there is resistant bacteria, the medication may not work.

«At least 6,100 people with the coronavirus have now died in the United States, according to a New York Times database. The death toll has grown six-fold in eight days and now exceeds the number of people known to have died from the virus in mainland China, where the pandemic started in December.«

More than a thousand reported dead in the US from corona in the past 24 hours.
