The lower rate was calculated based on only 7 or 8 fatalities.
Also the people in Gangelt, where that test was carried out, are significantly younger than the average German. Their share of people over 75 is 17% below the national average.
- arcticbull 6y agoThat isn't what I saw when I looked up their demographics, it looked roughly in line, skewing older even. [1] They had 12.8% over 75 as compared to for instance, 9% in Frankfurt [2]. Also in a population of 10,000-ish the number of fatalities would have to be by definition closer to 40.

- jaynetics 6y agoWell, you divided the much lower 2011 population by the size of an age group in 2018, and compared that with a random city?
