Kent Sepkowitz, is a CNN Medical Analyst, and has a piece wondering why Germany seems to be doing better than other countries in handling coronavirus.
He suggests, and only suggests, that statistics on the number of nurses per 1,000 of population give an indication of a country's attitude to quality healthcare, and points to figures collated by the World Bank.
Germany has 13.2 nurses for each 1,000 of population, measured in 2016.
France had 9.7 per 1,000, also measured in 2016.
The United States had 8.6, measured in 2015
The UK had 8.3, measured in 2017
Italy had 5.9, measured in 2017
Spain had 5.5, measured in 2016.
