| Athaba said: Germany has 100.000+ cases, all confirmed, but the death rate is very low compared to other regions. Wonder what's the reason. Aren't they counting death outside hospitals? |
The prevailing opinion is that Germany has done just a lot more testing than most countries, which means the number of undetected people is lower. So it's not that there are fewer people dying, it's more that in most other countries a lot of cases remain undetected, which increases their death rate. We also shut down pretty early and prevented the virus to spread very fast. I don't think that Germany's health system is so much better than Spain or Italy. They just have far more undetected cases and a larger spread.
Another part is demographics and culture. Young people don't have a lot of contact with older people here and we do not kiss for greetings for example.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
