why germany? there seems to be plenty of states doing better than germany. it seems germany gets points just for having a long serving trusted leader at the helm
Because Germany has 1/4 the deaths per capita than other Western states and considerably more testing.
Spain has 550 deaths per million, Germany has 90. Most of the rest are in between.
UK, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands etc. - not so good at all, though Switzerland did a good job of getting things under control after a breakout.
E. Europe has fared well, but there are lower testing and some questionable governance so well have to take a deeper look.
Sweden's position is untenable and possibly unethical given the unknowns, it was a huge gamble.
