Only one death last time I read. They have one of the best If not the best healthcare systems in the world. This is why in America it could get scary. Our healthcare system is horrid

5800+ cases, but only 11 deaths.

Death rate less than 1/3 of S Korea who is being praised

But that is today, could change a lot.

This. It can be mitigated. We can do this. But this attitude of "This is 'murica and I can do what the hell I want!" is not helping.

Also, I think China completely bs their info.. Italy 24k infected 2k dead.  China 80k infected 3k dead?  Since when China has better healthcare than Europe? 

Italy is the new China. I dont trust their information either, still they took this program up a few degrees. Italy has more old people too and took a different way of handling in beginning. They wised up.

Germany has almost single handedly destroyed the world and civilization twice yet the country is always an innovative, well managed, and brilliant global leader. Crazy.

Free higher education and public healthcare. They learned a ton from those two times and imo lead the world on what a country can be. They are an amazing society. I have a friend living in Berlin for work. He doesn’t ever wanna come back to the states.

Honestly, you hear that a lot from Americans who move to civilized, modern countries. They realize how awful America can be.

Yeah, they're going to try online here. I have no idea how they'll organize that though. They train teachers tomorrow. But with the 1.1 million kids, you'd have to imagine there are at least 100,000 without a laptop. No idea how they'll reach those kids.
