Germany has less than 10,000 active cases now, first big European country.

eh I wouldn't trust these numbers too much. They are just estimated and IMO a few thousand, maybe even ten thousand too low compared to other countries.

It's probably better to count patients in ICUs.

Don't some Americans avoid the health care system entirely due to it's exorbitant expense though?

It's always going to be difficult to get the most accurate numbers, with different demographics and health systems, but the numbers paint an "idea" of what is going on, which is usually more than sufficient.
