Spread of the corona virus in Germany
Currently: 9.6 new infections per day per 100,000 inhabitantsThe inhabitants of Germany are still severely affected by the corona pandemic and the spread of the Sars-Covid-19 virus. The inhabitants of Germany are also affected by the corona pandemic and the spread of the Sars-Covid-19 virus. By October 24th, 2020, 418005 infected persons and 10003 deaths have been reported in the country. The first confirmed infections were reported on January 28th, 2020, which is the date of the official notification. An additional 10-14 days are calculated for noticing one's own infection, the doctor's appointment, the laboratory test and, above all, the period from the infection until the first symptoms appear. The country reached its peak so far on October 24th with 14,714 new infected persons.

Mortality rate of infected persons
From the previously infected and deceased people, in Germany results in a mortality rate of 2.4%. However, it should be borne in mind that death occurs an average of 19 days after the first symptoms appear. The time of the actual infection is therefore followed by several days until a person affected has a medical test carried out and the results are available. In order to quantify mortality more precisely, one would therefore have to compare the deaths that have occurred to date with those reported 319,381 infected up to 14 days ago. This gives in Germany a new mortality rate of 3.1%.Due to the current corona pandemic, we update the worldwide case numbers daily. A list of all infected and dead people by country can be found on our Corona virus topic page.

Medical supplies
The medical care provided by doctors and hospitals in Germany is above average and also exceeds the average achieved in the EU countries. The country provides 8.3 hospital beds per 1000 inhabitants. The global mean here is 2.7 beds. Within the EU, 5.6 beds are available for every 1,000 residents.With about 350,000 physicians in Germany, there are about 4.21 doctors per 1000 inhabitants. Here again the comparison: worldwide this standard is 1.50 physicians per 1000 inhabitants and in the EU even 3.57.
Through medical care, the mortality of major known diseases can be reduced to an above-average extent. For example, only about 12 percent of all people who suffer from cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases or chylomicron retention disease (CRD) currently die.
