[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]German cases increased 25% today.

200 new cases, 1018 total.[/quote]

And zero deaths. That is the critical factor. [/quote]

That is encouraging. Thanks for sharing that. These threads have me increasingly anxious.[/quote]

Sorry to give you a different point of view.

Reddit is full of German posters decrying the strict testing policies in most (not all) areas of Germany.  They are completely incredulous that there are zero deaths in Germany.  People who were admitted to the hospital with pneumonia without having been tested are being recorded as flu deaths.  Unlike Spain, Germany has done no retrospective testing of untested pneumonia deaths. [/quote]

How many recent elderly pneumonia deaths in the US do you think may have been covid19? [/quote]

This. I think it has been widespread in the US for months  and they did not test so they could blame it on the flu. They know people would not panic with the flu because they would have felt safer with a flu shot. Perhaps all these flu deaths they have been telling us about were really coronavirus deaths and elderly people could have been saved if they knew to isolate at home. People were traveling back in forth from China in December and it would have gotten here fast. I think the US is responsible for not testing sooner and given those at risk a better chance to save themselves.[/quote]

I don't even think they were looking to blame it on the flu or something else. I think we just expect a certain number of older people to be passing away, even suddenly without really thinking about testing. They said some went from no symptoms to dead within 24 hours. First thought may not have been C19, but just well time was up. [/quote]
