He explores the possible reasons why Italy has a death rate for COVID-19 that is 10X that of Germany.

Among them should be:
1) Most of Germany’s infected were actually young and athletic skiers.
2) Germany’s next round of infected are only just advancing enough to be dying.
3) Germany had weeks to get geared up to deal with the outbreak. Italy was on Feb 22nd about where Germany was on March 11th.

Note the week where people were pointing out that none of the Nordic countries or Germany had any fatalities...which has since drastically changed. They also at that time had only two recoveries between the several nations.

Germany had fewer than 30k cases on 3/23, but is now crossing 72k.

Germans are germaphobes and might have slowed transmission from that too.
