Both Germany and the United States have federal republic systems of government. Yet their handling of the COVID-19 Crisis has produced very different results.
Using a recognized Coronavirus database [worldometers.info/coronavirus/], it is possible to statistically measure the effectiveness of the national governments’ responses.
As of July 31, 2020, Germany had 211,060 cases and 9,226 deaths caused by the coronavirus. The US had 4,755,622 cases and 157,722 deaths.
Comparing the Cases and Deaths based on ‘per million of population’, you will find that Germany has only 17.5% of Cases and 23.0% of Deaths of the US.
Applying these percentages to Total Cases and Deaths, it can be determined that the US has had 3,923,388 more Cases and 121,274 more Deaths than if they had been managed using German methods of combatting COVID-19.
