Coronavirus: Germany says its outbreak is 'under control'

Germany's health minister says the month-long lockdown has brought his country's coronavirus outbreak under control.

Jens Spahn said that since 12 April the number of recovered patients had been consistently higher than the number of new infections.

The infection rate has dropped to 0.7 - that is, each infected person passed the virus to fewer than one other.

In Germany 3,868 have died of Covid-19 - fewer than in Italy, Spain or France.

However, the number of fatalities is still rising in Germany, as is the number of infected health care workers.

So far almost 134,000 people have been infected in Germany.

Germans, Austrians and Czechs eat tons of fermented foods. Sauerkraut and other pickled vegetables. They have very good gut biomes and therefore very good immune systems.

A large portion of the USA, on the other hand, lives on McDonald's.

I dunno... maybe they’re too busy hanging out with their goat girlfriends to be around other people?

Why are there more dead in New York City than in all of Africa?

Getting back to work and accepting that deaths will happen needs to be ingrained into a population that has been fed nothing but fear an loathing from politicians and ‘scientist’ since the first week of March... The boogeyman doesn’t go away so you will need to crawl out of your Hidey-Hole eventually.

easy. it’s the population density. many parts NY metro has a population density well over 10,000 people per square mile. that’s terrific breeding ground for a respiratory virus.

I guess it depends upon what the meaning of under control is.

LOL... I’m talking fermented sauerkraut, pickled beets, pickled cucumbers, pickled carrots. They just love pickled salads and eat them with everything. It drove me crazy while I was in the Prague. Could I not get just a salad with lettuce, or some steamed vegetables? I got so sick of pickled beets.
