a few days ago it was said to be about 50k real cases

Yeah but as I said earlier I doubt we have 4 times the cases of Germany

it'd be more now

I guess Germany might have more than it thinks too

everywhere does, naturally, but only a few countries are actually tryharding on that front

we actually test quite a lot

yeah i thought so

obviously its a resource that you have to prioritise

that's why i find the cases vs deaths odd

like you cant just test 65m ppl once a week

tests per capita is the thing

the uk was abysmal until recently

they are ramping it up

so if they tested more, less would've died right?

donno, logical i guess

as more would be forced to quarantine

USA is the worst though

in the west

whereas if you test less, you have to rely on them self-isolating should they show symptoms

and that is less ecure

out of date but gives you an idea

We have a problem. I understand both sides of we aren't doing enough and the government is over reacting. But the Death data has reached a point where good averages and extrapolation is possible.

where is France and Germany on that infrographic

you should fix the typo in your yt username @Current (commentor/commenter)

assuming it isn't deliberate

UK data includes people who died from anything whilst having coronavirus

you'd need to normalise the data if you want to compare like-for-like

https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/f94c3c90da5b4e9f9a0b19484dd4bb14

643 new cases reported today

slightly down on yesterday which is interesting

surely the others' data also shows that @notaglobe

I don't think so

I think they just take what ever the countries report

someone needs to do data normalisation before we do like-for-like

well that'd explain it then

Does anyone have the testing numbers for Germany?
