The corona virus, which was transmitted to more than 245 thousand people globally and caused the death of more than 10 thousand people after it emerged in Wuhan city in Hubei province of China in December, almost passed Germany.
In Italy, which is one of the countries with the highest number of cases after China, 3 thousand 400 people died in 41 thousand cases, while 15 thousand cases were seen in Germany, it was a miracle that only 44 people lost their lives.
According to the official figures given by the Outbreak Control Agency in Germany, Robert Koch Institute, the number of deaths in Germany is far behind other countries globally. In the light of the latest data, the number of deaths due to the corona virus in Germany is around 0.29 percent. This rate is 8.2 percent in Italy.
Richard Pebody, who works at the World Health Organization, said, “It is very difficult for us to find out why. We do not have a clear answer because it is a combination of different combinations. ”
BED CAPACITY IS IMPORTANT
Daily Mail, one of the UK’s most widely read newspapers, reported that the number of intensive care beds was critical in combating the corona virus, based on experts. While it is known that the number of intensive care units that currently support oxygen in Germany is 25 thousand, it is seen that Germany is more ready for this problem than its neighbors in Europe.
While there are about 7 thousand intensive care beds in France, this rate is around 5 thousand in Italy. It has a capacity of approximately 5,000 beds in England.
12 THOUSAND PEOPLE PER DAY
“Early diagnosis can also be an important factor,” said Christian Drosten, Director of the Institute of Virology at the Charite Hospital in Berlin, the capital of Germany. We detected this disease very early in the country. Therefore, we are ahead in diagnosis and determination. ”
While it is stated that there is a network of independent laboratories in Germany, it was announced that the studies in the laboratory environment started in January when the number of cases was low in the fight against the corona virus. The fact that there are many laboratories in the country has also speeded up nationwide tests. According to current data, 12 thousand people in Germany can test for the corona virus daily.
On the other hand, it was noteworthy that the rate of young people in Germany is also high in the rate of those who have corona virus … Robert Koch Institute President Lothar Wieler said, “More than 70 percent of those who have been detected in Germany so far are between 20 and 50 years old. The first patients came back from a ski vacation in Italy or Austria. ”
