      “The Netherlands, with a younger overall population and one that is almost 5 times smaller than Germany’s, has 60% more deaths” — NL 771 vs DE 541https://twitter.com/bencoates1/status/1244527179557412866 …

      Ben Coates @bencoates1
      Trying to avoid endless theorizing about infection rates etc, but fair to say things not looking great in the Netherlands - curves flattening somewhat, but testing limited, ICUs filling, still well over 100 deaths a day. Tougher lockdown may be coming https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2020/03/27/caught-between-herd-immunity-and-national-lockdown-holland-hit-hard-by-covid-19/ …

      "And, unlike Germany, the Dutch haven’t done widespread testing, so it’s likely its number of confirmed cases significantly underestimates the actual number of infections." Dus kan de case fatality rate eigenlijk lager zijn. In andere woorden: we hebben niets aan deze cijfers.

      Doden per capita gaat alleen maar omhoog met meer testen…

      Ik bedoel er puur mee: Je kan deze getallen niet vergelijken. Je kan het wel proberen, maar het slaat nergens op. Als eigenlijk 80% van de NL bevolking besmet is en slecht 2% van de Duitse bevolking, kan je deze getallen ook hebben. Door het niet testen hebben we hier niets aan.

      Heeft verder niets te maken met wat jij of ik vinden van het beleid van beide landen. Ik zie ook 50 doden per mil hier of 7 doden per mil in Duitsland. Dat duid op dat er hier echt iets mis is of ze daar echt iets goed doen. Maar het is geen uitsluitsel, en net zoveel gissen.

      Dit heeft weinig met de CFR te maken. In Nederland overleed op 6 maart de eerste patiënt en in Duitsland was dat 9 maart. Dus zeg dat Duitsland één verdubbelingsronde achter ons loopt, dan nog is 45 doden per miljoen inwoners vs 13 een zo’n groot verschil dat er iets fout gaat.

      Een van de variabelen die je nu niet mee neemt is de gemiddelde leeftijd van de mensen die besmet zijn. We weten, door het niet testen, nog niet of om wat voor reden dan ook daar de ouderen meer beschermd zijn gebleven. Áls dat zo is, zou dat een (deel)verklaring kunnen zijn.

      Als ouderen daar meer beschermd zijn, doen ze daar dingen beter :)

          Of ze leven geïsoleerder (lees: platteland). Vergeet niet dat de Nederlandse bevolkingsdichtheid ook nog veel hoger ligt.
