Well, a simple google search for "germany deaths lower coronavirus why" led to this. And none of the factors are ones a country like ours can replicate:
-Our medical and hospital system, as Cuomo said earlier today, is essentially a haphazard network of private companies.
-We lack medicare for all.
-The vast majority of employees are at will hires with no paid sick leave.
Crim, sounds like you should be feeling the Bern if you want to replicate Germany.

Quote:Germany seems to have weathered the early phase of the coronavirus scare with fewer deaths than many nations, reporting only two fatalities out of 1,457 recorded cases as of Tuesday.
Many health professionals point to a variety of reasons for the results so far, including that Germany, a leader in the 27-nation European Union, has some built-in advantages that could help keep the mortality rate noticeably lower than many countries.
Germany has a widespread network of regional laboratories and was able to do extensive testing for coronavirus when it became known in recent weeks. It has one of the most expensive and extensive public healthcare systems in the world with national healthcare insurance for everyone.
Germany also is considered to have one of the world’s highest concentrations of hospitals — 1,900 for a population of 82 million. And workers, who traditionally see high levels of job security in the country, tend to stay home when they notice symptoms of an illness.
Some medical professionals and political leaders said in recent days that the number of people infected with the coronavirus and the resulting deaths are bound to increase substantially, but that Germany certainly has benefited from preparation and other factors.
Crim, sounds like you should be feeling the Bern if you want to replicate Germany.
