N-TV (commercial news in Germany) did a fairly long and extensive report on Covid-19 details.....six months into the crisis period....looking more so at recent developments.
So here is the shocker...only six Germans out of every hundred infected....required hospitalization.
The bulk of Germans did their home-quarantine situation, and passed through completely.
At the very beginning of the crisis....the German view was that your doctor would review your records after the infection was noted, and if you had secondary issues (asthma, COPD, or diabetes for example)....that was the entry point for you into a hospital situation.
The other shocker from their review? For all deceased Covid-19 folks.....the average age was 81 years old. For people 70 and over, who were infected....the death rate was 85 percent.
The discussion over ventilation? It wasn't used that much, primarily because the patients were breathing on their own.
