An annotated timelapse of how the #coronavirus incidence evolved over the last few months across all European countries.
What can we learn from it?

For me the country that stands out is Germany: How despite being in the very middle of Europe, highly connected, dense, surrounded by countries with massive prevalence, it& #39;s still doing pretty well.

It& #39;s no East Asian country, but it& #39;s also not an island with SARS/MERS experience. And it& #39;s not easy to control the virus when people from every other EU country — with few proper measures — are bringing you infections.
So how did Germany do it?

Germany has amazing leadership, with people like @c_drosten and Angela Merkel leading the country with the right measures.
1. Testing before anybody else
2. Good contact tracing, isolations / quarantines when necessary
3. Prioritize cluster busting like in Japan

4. Masks. Ppl do what they need to do without whining.
5. Few or no restrictions for outdoors activities
6. Lockdowns only when really necessary. Prioritize places that are low cost - high reward

7. Strong Fence. Ppl from many countries can& #39;t come. For the rest, ppl from high-incidence areas must quarantine on arrival for 14d

8. Adopt new learnings as soon as they& #39;re available. Eg, require better ventilation after learning about aerosol transmission, prioritize cluster busting after learning about the high dispersion of the virus, rapid testing, reduced quarantines...
What else?
