I live in a highly urbanized area (293k residents). Since day one of the Covid business.....we've now reached a total of 1,016 infected folks....with only 33 active at this point.
Total deaths? Still at 22.....mostly (around 19 of them) over the age of 70.
Deaths at a standstill? Thats a curious thing....for almost two months now....while infections continue, the death count remains at 22. Better use of drugs and therapy? Maybe, but you can't say for sure.
The use of the 'warning' App on Smartphones? It might be helping to some degree. I looked at the numbers....almost 100 days since the release of the App. 18-million downloads across all of Germany.
Oddly enough, it's been turned off or deleted on 3-million phones, so there's only 15-million phones that run the App presently.
A week ago, some consultants advised the government that the App can't be deemed a success because it's simply not on enough phones to make a success. The government didn't make it a mandatory thing, and is simply relying upon 'word of mouth' to encourage folks to participate and make this work.
Differing numbers across the nation? No doubt. Bavaria, NRW and Baden-Wurttemberg still lead the nation on infections and deaths.
