Germany is not testing nearly enough people.
There are lots of reports of people with legitimate concerns that did not find a way to get tested.
Northern italy is like 2 hours by car and each weekend thousands drive there for a short trip.
Source? I’ve heard exactly the opposite - Germany is testing the whole cluster as soon as infection is found. That explains the low mortality.
Belgium only does tests on people who have recently been in regions at risk (China, Italy) or who have symptoms of pneumonia.
200 infected to date, zero deaths (so far).
The first case in Germany was 3 days after the first in France. They reached 4 cases the same day. When France hit 11 cases, Germany already had 13 and for 15 days they both only got 1 to 3 more cases in total. They both began increasing a lot on the 26th of February.
While they reached 4 cases the same day, that doesn’t mean that they had the same number of unknown infections. Let’s say France had 10x as many unknown infections than Germany. How would that impact the disparity in death count? And is this even a large enough sample size for that disparity to not just be explained to a high degree by mere chance?
