• Send people in earlier so they wont be as ill? WTAF.

    They call them corona taxis: Medics outfitted in protective gear,
    driving around the empty streets of Heidelberg to check on patients
    who are at home, five or six days into being sick with the
    coronavirus.

    They take a blood test, looking for signs that a patient is about to
    go into a steep decline. They might suggest hospitalization, even to a
    patient who has only mild symptoms; the chances of surviving that
    decline are vastly improved by being in a hospital when it begins.

    Also covers the discssuon above on number of people tested..

    Another explanation for the low fatality rate is that Germany has been
    testing far more people than most nations. That means it catches more
    people with few or no symptoms, increasing the number of known cases,
    but not the number of fatalities.

  • You're not the only one to have that suspicion, however: the Olympics were postponed to 2021 on March 24th. That's 2 weeks ago, ages in Corona time.
