I wondered about Germany’s low death figures also. Yesterday I found an article of interest:
“”””It was on Monday, Jan. 27, that Holger Engelmann, Webasto’s CEO, told the authorities that one of his employees had tested positive for the new coronavirus.
The woman, who was based in Shanghai, had facilitated several days of workshops and attended meetings at Webasto’s HQ.
The woman’s parents, from Wuhan, had visited her before she travelled on Jan. 19 to Stockdorf, the paper said. While in Germany, she felt unusual chest and back aches and was tired for her whole stay. But she put the symptoms down to jet lag.
She became feverish on the return flight to China, tested positive after landing and was hospitalised. Her parents also later tested positive. She told her managers of the result and they emailed the CEO.’’’
So interesting the ‘case zero’ in Germany was an employee at a German company who lived in China.
So how many similar situations did we have in the USA?
I know we had the situation at Biogen where a Chinese women at a Biogen conference in Boston infected a bunch of her colleagues. And then I believe she covered up her fever and infection and flew on a plane back to China.
