As user lima-lima pointed out above, this most probably is an artifact resulting from different definitions of what constitutes an ICU bed - for example pediatric and neoanatal beds are in cluded for the US, but ex cluded in the European

The blame game isn't helping at all. This is literally the type of situation where the concept of blameless post mortem, an idea often praised here, originates from. The focus of everyone, regardless of nationality, should now be on so

Sorry, that wasn't my intention at all. Nationalism was the opposite of what I was trying to convey, but obviously that didn't work out that well. In times like these we all have to look at what can be done to minimize human suffe

Yes, everyone hinting that xenophobia might not be a sensible pursuit when facing a pandemia is obviously a paid troll. I'm German, BTW, and considering the history of our country I'm a bit sensible to things like this.

As in most cases when this link gets posted here, this is not actually a case of whataboutism. Here, the argument is "this cannot happen here because the US is not a dictatorship and we have free press". I linked to an actual case

But was this different to the US? I don't follow the US news that closely, but my impression was that testing capacity is only significantly growing since yesterday.

When China started the lockdown of Wuhan in Jan 23, they had 830 cases, and almost all concentrated in one location. Even with the hard lockdown they were at over 70k infected people in Feb 16, before the infection rate slowed. The US alre

Exactly. At least in Germany sick days (for the first weeks) are paid for by the health insurance companies, which need a means to know this is a particular case for a payout, hence the need for the note.

GP lists overall hospital beds per people, which includes ICU beds but also encompasses the "normal" beds, e.g. for people recovering from routine procedures, kids with broken legs etc. So the US has 277 hospital beds per 100k inh

What is the overall infection prognosis for the US? For Germany it is expected that 60 to 70% of the population will get Covid-19. Assuming 65% for the US, that would mean 214M infected, say over 2 years (and assuming linearity, which is na
