This article discusses Germany's successful response to COVID-19. Despite having a high number of cases, they have been able to minimize deaths by effectively communicating scientific facts about the virus to the public, prioritizing building and tracking the number of beds available in hospitals, and offering mental health services and easy access to healthcare. I think it is interesting to note that Germans are notoriously "extremely fact-based and cautious," so it is unclear how successful these protocols would be in another country like the United States.
