| 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? |
They tested alot, so they found alot of those "asymptomatic" people, most other countries dont "catch" in the test numbers.
Ontop of that, the "earlier" on you know someone has the illness the "earlier" you can start treating them with stuff to help fight the virus.
Which is what I think germany is doing, so there are basically helping those "mild cases of symptoms" to a higher degree than other countries.
This means less of the "mild cases" turn into "serious cases" (and die).
Most other places in the world, we only test those we suspect to aleady have it, or are showing serious symptoms.

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. |
^ this.
Infection more heavily hit the younger demographic in germany than the elderly.
While in denmark, it was middleaged/elderly going on vacations, and skiiing, that brought it back to denmark.
If a older person, is infected and he spreads it to his circle of friends (also elderly)...... case mortality rates will be higher in that country.
