The report cited looks into cases. Does it also include deaths? If not, do German deaths scale to a similar value? If the German figures for cases are wrong, whose to say ours and others aren't?

The problem for everyone is statistics are being generated on the fly, we're potentially seeing issues across nations in terms of the way they are collated etc. I don't think any nation will have "true" figures for a very long time.
