The death rate in Germany is only lower because they calculate the figures differently, in the UK the death rate is low - of those tested, testing is very limited, even doctors and nurses cannot get tested. You only get tested if you are seriously ill and have difficulty breathing, my doctor told me, “take an aspirin and isolate”, there are many times the official figures that have had mild or no symptoms. The virus is widespread, most of us are going to be exposed the government knows this and is trying to slow the spread while hospital capacity is increased. Now we are getting large temporary hospitals like Nightingale the system will cope better, sadly the death rate will increase, there will be cases of young heathy people succumb but the final death rate is likely to be much less than 1%.
