Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Germany

Mandatory usage of face masks
Since Monday 27-04, in all German states the usage of face masks (or any cover) was made mandatory in public transport, except Schleswig-Holstein, which followed Wednesday 29-04. The same for shops in all states except Berlin, which followed 29-04. Some regions started earlier with it, the city-county of Jena on 06-04, county Nordhausen on 13-04, both in Thuringia, later the city of Hanau on 20-04, then the states of Saxony on 20-04, Saxony-Anhalt on 23-04 and (the rest of) Thuringia on 24-04. Please consider the development of infections IN AUSTRIA (see wikipedia article), where masks were made mandatory from 14-04, after Easter, daily rate of new infections was reduced BY FACTOR FIVE from average 2.5% before to 0.5% after!

Chart "by age and gender" at the end of the page
Could anyone check the chart "by age and gender" The numbers are 80+ 	7,450 	13,205 	20,655 according to the table on the left and the grapic on the right puts the same segment at 90k+ — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎141.15.29.253 (talk) 08:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

7-day prevalence video since outbreak
Currently, the "7-day prevalence since outbreak" video is broken. It shows a rolling date counter but almost nothing on the map up to about 1:10 (video time) and, at which point also the date freezes at "29-th of July 2021", and then, from 1:26 (video time) onwards, supposedly shows prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 from late April 2021 onwards. 88.130.216.35 (talk) 13:53, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sometimes, the RKI dataset it's based on is incomplete. Since August, extra checks have been added to prevent such uploads. -- Xplus1 (talk) 01:10, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Hasn't been updated for a month (since 2022-02-08), since the 7-day cases/100,000 tally first broke through 1500. Demoralization? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.52.207.45 (talk) 11:34, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Fake news
From this article "risk of death of "over-65-year-olds [is] at 50%" - That was pure fake news to create anxiety. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.185.37.144 (talk) 06:57, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Badly in need of updating (September 2022)
The main text of the article doesn't seem to have been updated since November 2021; the maps not since early 2022. I can't do it as it is closed to editing. 98.115.160.165 (talk) 10:21, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Inconsistency between graph and table
The graph of daily deaths shows deaths dwindling well below 100/day in December 2022, while the tablulated data right next to the graph show deaths averaging above 100/day in December 2022. Which one is in error? 98.115.160.165 (talk) 03:26, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Problem solved by removing the more reliable tabulated data and retaining the less reliable graphed data? : / 98.115.160.165 (talk) 12:40, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

The cited reference data -- Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Germany medical cases chart -- show the death rate rising to an average of 175 deaths per day for the first week of January 2023, while the graph shows deaths substantailly under 100 deaths per day. Is the graphed data coming from a source other than the cited source, or is it being misplotted? This discrepancy needs to be addressed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.115.160.165 (talk) 20:55, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
