It's been a while since I posted this comparison of Germany and its neighbours (except Luxemburg, too small) wrt cases and deaths, per 1 million population, 7 day average. It's a FYI, not going to interpret. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-12-01..latest&country=DEU~DNK~NLD~BEL~FRA~CHE~AUT~CZE~POL®ion=World&casesMetric=true&interval=smoothed&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc
And the usual disclaimer: I specifically said "Germany and its neighbours", not "Germany and other interesting countries". I gave the link to the Data Explorer, so if you want to add/remove other countries - go for it!
