The one thing I haven't seen from Germany is how many tests they have actually done.
Yes I can, and have been so far!
Surely the opposite is the case - they are testing so much that the rate is brought down?
Yes it sure helps. If you can test people with mild symptoms they might be more inclined to stay home, keep from others if they know they have covid 19 and not a common cold or whatever.
They don’t like classical music actually. A farmer near where I grew up had the old barn where bats liked to live.
Am in Thailand. That is now also my only and sole concern.
24,981 deaths from the flu in one year?
Absolute dickheads
Didn't they restrict incoming visitors very early on, partnered with extremely aggressive testing/tracing/quarantine?
Thanks for the input. Why do you suggest that?
Ich glaube nicht!
If you've got the funds I'd defo stay there, worse places to be trapped. I went there a few years ago and cannot imagine the strip being quiet- my first night there I saw two ladyboys having a massive bust up.
We had 28k in England a few years ago
We are not testing at all. Probably only seriously ill patients.
Just said they monitoring the situation closely. Didn't elaborate any further.
135k in last two weeks, don't know the total but this way more than France Spain UK.
They did, but also they have a top class health service, people are looking at infection rates which really now are pointless as we dont really know how much testing is going on. Germany also doing well while infection rates are higher their death rate is low and crtically ill is low. This is what we need to emulate now.
If you become unwell you may not be allowed to fly out of the country you are in.
Thanks, they have to come up with some sort of plan.
Some Italian virologist speculated that there’s a difference in postmortem classification e.g. not classing people with comorbidities as having died from it or something.We are not testing at all. Probably only seriously ill patients.
Experts think our infections are 10 to 20 times higher than the actual numbers (8k+).
Our death rate seems fake to me, i think our first death was a few days ago, which seemed unrealistic to me already.
First person in Cologne died to coronavirus today.
Germany is NOT doing well. Only yesterday it felt as if 1/4 of my town was out in the park enjoying the sunshine. Germany is seriously late in doing anything about this - we even had local elections all over Bavaria on Sunday. Madness. They are either not testing or not reporting.
I think it's pretty late for that.
I'm at a place called Soi TaiEd, which is now basically the worlds fitness 'Mecca'. Its a 1km long road/village which has 8 mega gyms catering to all fitness sports ranging from MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, cross fit, HIIT, weightloss boot camps etc, supported by loads of healthy eating restaurants, sports/non dodgy massage houses and cheapish accommodation. Place is full of like minded people: want to get fit through to elite fighters getting ready to become professional.
Fair and very valid points. Thanks for honest objectivity.
Stay there if you’ve got the cash, sounds like heaven
If thats true its worring but would they really cover up reason for death?
Just be careful in airports, try to find gloves and masks and touch nothing unnecessarry. Also be a bit more paranoid and think about often washing your hands during your travel.
On the bright side, if you've been eating American take away every day since you moved there, you'll probably die of something else before the virus gets you.
Sister in law's daughter's has as well. Bury.
