This whole crisis is a test of healthcare systems. Germany got hit very hard with infections, but also has a really low fatality count. Spain only got 8% more infections but over a maginitude more deaths Edit: Spain also has only half of the population of Germany, so it's probably more like 16% more infections in relation to population.

It's a test of our healthcare systems that they can't possibly pass unless our government and society pass their tests. Any country that fails to get the general public sufficiently onboard to flatten the curve _will_ massively overload their healthcare system no matter how great that healthcare system is.
