And in Germany for now it's 0%.. 800 cases and zero deaths.. We need more data on this virus.
Yes.. that looks very promising. And, the thing to keep in mind regarding Germany- they have been testing a lot, and their numbers a week ago were only around 30 positive tests. The typical time-history of this thing, has most people either getting better, or going the bad-route after a couple of weeks. So the majority of those 800 cases may be too early to be having deaths. Again, this is not to say they will suddenly have a bunch of deaths, but just like people are saying "you cant count the nursing home deaths in the US as representative data," we also have to wait some time to count Germany's cases on a mortality basis if we're going to compare apples to apples. I for one truly hope that the 0 deaths in Germany holds, but time will tell. In the next week for Germany, we will start to know a ton more.
