And Hitler built the autobahn... who said Germans weren't efficient? The issue is they are 90% European and 1/4 the size of the USA.See you keep posting these numbers that really don’t get at the crux of the issue which is how the systems of these countries compare to one another. For instance, I showed you that our death rate was twice as high as Germany’s. That is what illustrates the QUALITY of their healthcare system over ours. I don’t expect you to admit this of course. You’re just going to pretend I didn’t point this out to you. Also, the quality of Germany’s response comes down to the timing. Germany was testing thousands of people per week in early March which pales in comparison to what the US did. Germany also had sufficient equipment relevant to mitigating the crisis early on. The US did not. The US was poorly equipped for the first two months.AGAIN... Germany has tested only 7.01% (just in case you have a problem divide 83.7 million by Germany's 5.87 million tests or: 7.01%Oh and check this out from the same article as above:Where are you getting that US’s testing is 40% more than Germany’s? That’s just bullshit. Experts estimate testing is 10x short of actual cases in some areas of the US. More importantly, Germany has new cases way more under control than the US. That’s the metric that matters. And again, Europe is a close knit continent. They still somehow have the pandemic way more under control.Germany population: 83 million Testing 5.8 million or 6.9% USA 330 million... 4 times the size of Germany total test: 37.8 million or 11.9% tested.We do account for 25% of deaths for a country that is only 5% of the world’s population. I mean if European countries are so incompetent as republicans like to claim, the death rates in ALL those small, close-knit nations would be staggering but nations like Germany show us how a good health system operates.
Is it any wonder why other countries are barring travel from the US?
It definitely isn’t Trump’s fault the virus came here and China shares a lot of blame in failing to contain it, but obviously it matters how a nation chooses to respond once it arrives in their borders. For the US, we failed miserably. It doesn’t help we have a moron in the WH that likes to pretend it isn’t a problem.
More importantly ethnicity of population:
European % of population 89.7% all others 10.3%
USA population ethnicity: White 73.0% Blacks 12.7% Hispanic 17.6%
So not only US testing 40% more people, BUT the USA is almost 4 TIMES the size of Germany.
So compare apples to apples...not apples to watermelons!
FACTs!!
OK...
USA population 331 million vs Germany 83.7 million OR 40% more people in USA than Germany! Do you understand??
Covid cases: USA total cases 3,023,644 or Germany cases 198,057
Testing USA: 38,099,215 vs Germany 5,873,562 tests OR 6 times the number of test by USA!
FACTS are also THAT 99.4% cases ARE NOT hospitalized! Yet you haven't heard that have you? 0.52% hospitalized!
Why haven't you heard that??

“another explanation for the low fatality rate is that Germany has been testing far more people than most nations. That means it catches more people with few or no symptoms, increasing the number of known cases, but not the number of fatalities.”
VS USA... population 330 million divided by 38.099 million EQUALS 11.4%! So will you apologize for your FALSEHOOD?
Now I took some time and downloaded this file:Coronavirus Update (Live): 11,711,170 Cases and 539,728 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer
Then sorted by total tests..
China was # one at 90.4 million BUT they had ONLY 83,557 CASES??? Totally suspect.
USA was #2 @38,111,501 tests
Germany was # 6 at 5,873,563 tests... so you were saying????

How the German Approach to COVID-19 Puts the Country Ahead
Earlier this week, Germany became one of the first countries to start easing COVID-19 restrictions. That’s because its initial response to the pandemic helped keep the death rate low. Germany: Caught the coronavirus early Does lots of testing Has a robust health care system. As the pressure...www.commonwealthfund.org
You are making apples to watermelons! Make a valid comparison.
