Actually South Korea is a perfect place to look for a nation which kept it under control.
Germany just lost control last week, so I expect a lot more death starting next week.
Hopefully Germany's plan of isolation will reduce the spread enough, but we will see...
- lankin 7y agoGerman here. Could you elaborate how we lost control last week? At least in Bavaria everything seems to be ok - considering the circumstances...
- gindely 7y agoIsn't it the circumstances that are being considered, that are the problem? Germany "lost control" of the pandemic. (Germany didn't actually lose control last week, it's just the numbers stopped growing fast in the "ho hum" range and started growing fast in the "I'm scared" range. This is how exponential growth works. Germany lost control when they decided to do nothing for two weeks after noticing community spread.)
- gindely 7y agoGermany didn't lose control last week. A few days after they realised what happened at the Gangelt carnival, they gave up - that's when they lost control. The spread of cases took a couple weeks to be shockingly high, but this was locked in already in the first week of March. We must stop confusing the outbreak of diagnoses with the outbreak of cases. That's the mistake every government agency in the West has made, and it's why it spreads faster and better in the west than in South Korea or Taiwan.
