SUMMARY:Hot Topics Call: Germany's Response to Coronavirus and its Political Implications
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\nIn recent weeks\, Germany has been praised for its quick and aggressive response to the spread of COVID-19. Although Italy has a death rate of 11% of those who tested positive for the virus\, Germany has had a rate of just under 1%. This has been credited to early testing of a large portion of the population\, but as numbers of cases increase\, the worst may be yet to come. Fatality numbers always have a lag-time. \n\n\nJoin us for a Hot Topics Call on Monday\, April 6 at 11:00 am (ET) with Bundestag Member Prof. Dr. Andrew Ullmann (FDP).
