Look at all the neighboring countries and compare their death toll to Germany.
This is going to sound like a cruel joke, but isn't it suspiciously low, similar to VW's emmision numbers
Germany has one of the highest number of docs/capita.
Germany has the highest number of ICU beds in EU (800/mio, Italy has 300)
Number of ventilators just got upgraded from 20k to 30k
Germany has one of the highest number of hospital beds/capita
German clinics are treating patients from Italy and France, since their systems are overwhelmed, ours doesnt seem to be, yet
Italian patients are flown in by Luftwaffe, since some Lufwaffe planes have good ICU capability (Italian planes unfortunately have not)
Some more "flying ICU units" are being converted
And yes, ve are very good at follwing ze orders, unless some jackass washed his car in a public station and got a fine of 25k€.
Nobody has a perfect explanation for why the death toll is so low here, but its maybe a combinaton of factors mentioned above, combined with the (most probable) fact that the first germans to contract SARS-CoV-2 got it from skiing in northern Italy, and those were predominantly young people. Yet, SARS-Cov-2 also has entered quite a few nursing homes and basically swept them clean. But in the end: We dont know, yet.
