> Because the ratio of recoveries to deaths is way higher in germany than the united states. The risk of covid varries a lot by geographic region and usa seems like one of the worst. You'd need to be a lot more specific. Which state are you referring to? Most US states are safer on Covid mortality than Germany. California + Texas + Florida (the three largest by population) combined have the same population as Germany with half the per capita death rate. It would be like combining Italy, Spain and Greece and pretending they're all seeing the same situation. Germany has a per 100k mortality rate of 5 for Covid. Texas has a per 100k mortality rate of 1.5. California is 2.7. Florida is 3.6. Germany has 89m people with 4,538 deaths. Texas has 29m people with a mere 453 deaths. California + Texas + Florida = 89m people, with 2,290 deaths. More large states? Ohio is 3.9. Virginia is 3. Arizona is 2.4. North Carolina is 1.5. So as you can see, most of the US in fact doesn't look like New York, New Jersey, Michigan. Just like most of Europe doesn't look like Spain. More countries in Europe for comparison (per 100k rate): Belgium 47, Spain 44, Italy 38, France 29, Britain 23, Netherlands 21, Switzerland 16, Sweden 15, Ireland 11.6, Portugal 6.7, Denmark 6, Austria 5, Norway 3, Finland 1.6. The three largest US states combined have a rate of 2.5.
