Why Eastern Germany Didn't Have the 'Big' Numbers on the Virus

This new theory has been put forward on the numbers difference.

For those who haven't tracked things in Germany....among the sixteen states....three states went into turbo-action back in February, and the massive number of infections and deaths lead back to those three.  Somewhere in the middle are six states (Hessen is one, my state), and there's six states (most all in the eastern region, plus the Saarland (the smaller of the German states in the far west)), which have almost no big numbers on infection or death from the virus.

So this has been reviewed by a number of doctors and PhD type people, and this crazy theory is being discussed.

These six have one unique feature.....hen it comes to ultra rich people....they (the states) are near the bottom of the 'pit'.  I'm talking about Germans who own million-Euro homes, drive 100,000 Euro sports cars, or travel to exotic ski-lodges in Austria where a nightly stay is 750 Euro. 

It's believed that from the three states with the high infection rate and death rate.....the ultra rich went off to Milan (where the infections started in Italy), and later to the ski-resorts in Austria....then returned to their home regions in Germany (Bavaria, NRW, and Baden-Wurttemberg)....bringing infections at a significant number.  In effect, they pushed the infection rate to double or triple what it should have been.

All of this would lead an economics expert to examine the levels of German wealth and assign differing levels....maybe even to seven or eight levels (ultra poor to ultra rich).  Because of travel obligations or status-trips.....the movement of the ultra-rich made this virus a bigger problem than you'd imagine. 

Same problem in the US?  Well....it makes you wonder why NY City had a big deal, but states like Alabama or Oregon didn't. 

Here's the bigger issue.....can you even go in front of people and suggest this pattern, and admit that this occurred in the fashion described?
