Germany may have begun to successfully flatten the curve amid the global coronavirus pandemic while the death tolls in Spain and Italy continue to spike despite nationwide lockdowns meant to curb the spread of the novel disease.
The exponential upward curve in new coronavirus infections in Germany may be flattening off, according to the head of the country’s public health institute, who said stringent social distancing measures, including school closures and bans on public gatherings, as well as hand washing instructions, helped the public quickly slow the rate of infection.

"We are seeing signs that the exponential growth curve is flattening off slightly,” Lothar Wieler, head of the Robert Koch Institute, told Sky News. "But I will only be able to confirm this trend definitively on Wednesday."

I can’t imagine these muzzies learning hand washing Technics.
Well, I’ve never been to Spain...
German at about 0.41% fatality rate right now according to https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6
Need to separate new cases from deaths to evaluate spread of this disease. Italy just posted an 8.2% daily increase after 10.5% yesterday and much higher, up to 17% last week.
The deaths are down the pipeline.
France, Germany and Spain are also declining in case growth rate. In the US we are dominated by New York, who also posted a new case % increase decline, but it’s too early to tell if it’s a true inflection point.
But I kinda like the music!
I can’t imagine them learning much of anything except that the Germans are chumps for letting them in and giving them money.
Odd the Meds are hardest hit, when they tell us Wu-Flu doesn’t like warmer weather.
Actually the last two days in Italy the death toll has dropped and so has the new cases any bit of good news is good news
The hugging and kissing between older men in Italy is not helping.
Need to verify a post elsewhere: That Germany is only counting as COVID-19 death if proven by autopsy, and few a being performed. This could explain their data.
if true i was wrong about germany as, with all the travel and trade to and with iran/china as well as the late closure of their borders, i thought they were going to get slammed in the near future...
“only at least”
I took it to mean “However, at least...”
“German at about 0.41% fatality rate”
They’ve been very low in deaths the entire way. They really stood out in the list.
“The hugging and kissing between older men in Italy is not helping.”
Stay away from Cincque Terre in August.
I’ve been watching Washington since it was the first to take off. It has by FAR the most recovered patients, an interesting stat. It should inflect a few days before other states do.
Actually there is one sect...the Wahabists...who are strict practitioners of Whudhu which involves washing the hands, feet, genitals, mouth, and nose (not necessarily in that order) for a specified time, and if interrupted they are required to start the whole process over.

This is very easy to explain. Germany is testing more people then any other country. Just as the “Flubro’s” keep saying, more testing means a lower mortality rate. And that is just testing from those with the WuFlu it doesn’t start to include the millions who have had it and now have immunity.
But of course more testing will mean that the newly discovered cases will be trumpeted as huge growth in the number of cases. Chicken Freepers can now pivot from the 3%, 7%, do I hear 20%, mortality rates they have been hysterical over to “OMG look at the rate of spread”.
Please please please, as the number of cases grows be sure to adjust the mortality rate down. Don’t apply your old hysterical rate to the increasing number of confirmed cases. Keep focused on the number one of cases and estimated infections versus the number of deaths.
