Yep, that's the story the media here tells. Of course. "We are so exceptional, we Germans."
In reality, we had just four times more ventilators available than any of the larger countries around us, so we never hit the "no treatment possible" situation.
- zzzcpan 7y agoNo, that can't be it. Ventilators is a last resort kind of measure, most people under ventilators die either way, so they can't affect numbers much. I suspect Germany is just testing more and earlier than others.
- 101404 7y agoNo idea where you got that information. Testing in Germany started very late, but was then increased rapidly. As of today, Germany has done 1,317,887 tests. The US: 3,029,979 tests, Italy: 1,073,689 tests. (Source: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) So not exceptionally more than others.
