Andrew Neil is satisfied German & UK coronavirus deaths are calculated & reported in the same way.

If so why v low figures from Germany?

Could be combo of:
- G does much more testing
- G has many more doctors per capita
- G has plenty of PPE
- G has many more critical care beds
In other words, Germany is more thorough than we are, and much much better equipped.

If you test more you'll find more cases (including those with mild symptoms). And if you have a fitter population and a better-equipped medical system you'll be able to save more critical cases.
