Here’s an article that explains Germany’s low mortality rate from Coronavirus as compared to Italy’s rate:

[time.com]

It’s mainly a statistical fluke. Germany leapt in early with widespread testing, logging large numbers of people with only mild symptoms or no symptoms. This enlarged pool of cases caused the percentage of deaths to appear much lower, but the percentage will probably go up.

A greater lesson here is that despite the US being several times larger than Germany, the manufacture and distribution of test kits here is clumsily controlled by a single bureaucratic mob in Washington DC. In Germany such things are not controlled at the national level but at the state level. When the need arose, private companies were able to leap immediately into action Today Germany is producing most of the world’s Coronavirus test kits.

It’s the difference between a free economy unfettered by bureaucratic red tape and a country where every decision has to be made by bureaucrats in DC.
