It's said Germany does not lock down cities and fatality remains to be extremely low, which gives British, even USA the confidence to practice herd immunity.
I hope in US we will not see this exponential infected scenario, finger crossed.
- pedrocr 7y agoGermany seems to be doing the South Korea solution of very extensive testing and quarantine so that they end up with more confirmed cases that in other places would not even be found. That drives down their mortality rate just because the denominator is bigger. But that just means they're more days behind in the exponential than the confirmed cases number would suggest. It does not mean they have it under control.
- temac 7y agoExp is the simplest, and works very well with this virus. To not get exp you have to basically eradicate it (can be done locally with strict lockdown measures, but one day or another you will have to lift them...)
- hesk 7y agoGerman cities are starting to lock down. Berlin has canceled any gathering with more than 50 people. If it's less than 50 people, you have to keep a list of everybody who's there for a month. Schools are closed. As are recreational places (cinemas, clubs, museums, gyms, baths). Restaurants have to enforce 1.5 meters separation between patrons. https://www.berlin.de/rbmskzl/aktuelles/rathaus-aktuell/2020/meldung.906890.php https://www.berlin.de/rbmskzl/aktuelles/rathaus-aktuell/2020... It's not quite Italy yet but it's close.
