> Germany is not testing nearly enough people

Source? I’ve heard exactly the opposite - Germany is testing the whole cluster as soon as infection is found. That explains the low mortality.

In Germany they are tracking down clusters. As a random person you won't get tested, unless you visited a risky region, had contact with an infected person or your doctor orders a test for you. As a German, this strategy makes sense to me.

Considering the shortage of reagentia for these tests, that definitely makes sense.

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).

Yep, that’s my understanding too and it makes perfect sense.

The low mortality is likely due to the recent introduction of the virus into the community there. It takes weeks to go from infection to ICU.

That’s incorrect, Germany is very much like France in terms of number of cases and their duration.
