SUCCESSFUL ANTI-COVID 19 MOVES OF GERMANY

Folks, I would like to present to you the situation of two countries in the world that are considered quite successful in defeating Covid 19. Their approaches to the health problem are quite important for us to know whether it is all right for us to consider a lockdown, to have a change of leadership, much more so to pump more and more budgets on which area/s that will help us kill, murder, dissolve, Covid 19.

IN EUROPE, the country noted for its low cases of Covid 19 Cases is Germany. IN ASIA, South Korea takes the lead.What are they doing? How come they are successful in flattening the curve?

As of April 16, 2020, statistics on Germany, shows that they have 141,397 confirmed cases. Recovered are 76,603 patients while deaths stand at 4,352.

What is the population of Germany? As of 2019, it is 83.02 million.

Meanwhile, in South Korea, confirmed cases is 10, 653; Recovered in 7,937 and Deaths 232.

WHAT IS THE FORMULA USED IN GERMANY? TEST, TRACE AND TREAT

1.   WIDESPREAD TESTING

 Feb. 21. By then Germany had kicked off a health ministry information campaign and a government strategy to tackle the virus which would hinge on widespread testing

Germany has carried out more than 1.3 million tests, according to the Robert Koch Institute. It is now carrying out up to 500,000 tests a week

The country's methodical search for transmission chains has so far resulted in some of the lowest death rates in Europe.

In a company in Stockdorf, Germany, a Chinese woman whose parents visited her from China, had caught the virus and infected a worker who then spread it to his other colleagues. Deep investigation revealed the extent of the spread of the virus. That incident in the company premises was ground zero so to speak, where the first corona virus infection  was discovered.

INFORMATION AND MASS TESTING

After that incident anti-Covid 19 defences were built through widespread information about the disease in the whole country and mass testing to stop the virus from spreading. Germany found out about Covid 19 before Italy but the latter has more deaths now than the former.  

Germany is said to be carrying out mass testing up to 500,000 per weekmore peope than most other nations.  This has made the government know more people with few or o symptoms and thus prevent deaths.

TREATMENT

Germany emphasizes social distancing  is said to have plenty of intensive care beds

PLENTY OF INTENSIVE CARE BEDS AND A TRUSTED GOVERNMENT WHOSE SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES ARE WIDELY OBSERVED.

Germany has 33.9 beds per 100,000 people.

Its rules on social distancing for students, even has the following questions for them:

Am I Allowed to Go to the Grocery Store?

Can I Use Public Transport?

Can I Get Food Delivered to Me?

Can I Take a Walk or Go Elsewhere?

Can I Exercise Outside?

Can I go to the Doctor?

Can I Visit Family Members/Friends?

What If I Have to Go to work?

The rules emphasize measures like wearing glovat work, a face mask everywhere, washing hands frequently and not touching the face with unwashed hands. \

If you want a more detailed presentation of the rules, go and surf, Social Distancing Rules in Germany.

The above only shows us how detailed the Germans have been in emphasizing to their people, down to the students, how important it is to practice social distancing. It is not only singing about it, but also dealing with the nitty-gritty of our daily and minute-by-minute existence.

 But the greatest factor here is that Germany has a chancellor, Angela Merkel who is a a scientist and therefore, has a scientific mind.
