You can look at the Robert Koch institute or any other proper national health agency. Look at the figures for Belgium, France,Poland, Czech Republic etc ...all rocketing, apart from maybe some always report lower figures at the weekend.... What you figures do is use a different scale of proportion to a previous period, rather than a day on day actual figure. Nice try, but doesn't work As it is, a quick look on the ECDC site gives this Trends in reported cases and testing By the end of week 43 (25 October 2020), the 14-day case notification rate for the EU/EEA and the UK, based on data collected by ECDC from official national sources from 31 countries, was 360.2 (country range: 37.7–1453.2) per 100 000 population. The rate has been increasing for 98 days. High levels (at least 60 per 100 000) or sustained increases (for at least seven days) in the 14-day COVID-19 case notification rates compared with the previous week have been observed in 28 countries (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK).

Scouring the world for a country that fits their agenda If you look at excess deaths in the Spring, Sweden only did worse than Norway, with a younger demographic. Now I am sure you remember Erna Solbergs apology for locking down. If you wonder about big countries and lockdown crazy neighbours, look at Brazil and Peru. It seems the pandemic works the same magic in South America. 1 Share this post Link to post

For anyone that does understand, this is their website... https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en See above and this is the latest from Robert Koch as of this morning Summary (as of 01/11/2020, 12:00 AM) *Change from previous day; **Estimate • Currently, an accelerated increase of transmissions in the population in Germany can be observed. Therefore, the entire population is strongly encouraged to commit itself to infection prevention and control. • The nationwide incidence over the past 7 days increased further to 114.6 cases per 100,000 population. • Since the beginning of September, the proportion of cases in older age groups has been increasing again. The 7-day incidence of people = 60 years has further increased to currently 75.1 cases/100.000 population. • The 7-day incidence in Bavaria, Berlin, Bremen, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia and Saarland is higher than the national total 7-day incidence. • The number of districts with an increased 7-day incidence of >25 cases/ 100,000 inhabitants continues to rise. Only 6 districts have an incidence =25 cases/100,000 population. As of today, 154 districts have an incidence of >50-100 cases/100,000 population, 197 districts have an incidence of >100 cases/100,000 population and of these, 23 districts have an incidence of >200 cases/100,000 population. • The nationwide increase is caused by increasingly diffuse transmission, with numerous clusters in connection with private gatherings, celebrations or public events, but also in educational settings, nursing and long-term care homes, as well as in occupational settings or related to religious events. • The number of COVID-19 patients requiring intensive care has almost tripled in the past 2 weeks from 769 patients on 18/10/2020 to 2,061 patients on 01/11/2020. • In total, 532,930 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases and 10,481 deaths associated with COVID-19 have been transmitted to the RKI in Germany Share this post Link to post

Official sites used, as does wikepedia etc. You and Blu have been exposed time and time again....... https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Fallzahlen.html What is interesting there is to compare two German States. Hamburg and Mecklenburg- Vorpommern. Both have roughly the same population. Hamburg 1,8 m and M-V 1.6 m But the deaths in Hamburg 285 and in M-V just 23 !!! which shows a population spread over a large area copes much better than that in a City under basically the same conditions, give or take But multiply the figure by 10 to get roughly the same population as Sweden and it would only give 2,850 deaths or even 230, rather than 5,938 !!
