But these could also be conspiracy theories. In Germany many positive cases are younger people who have brought the virus home from a skiing holiday, for example. It will change when many of the older people are caught by the virus and become positive. Not that I'm waiting for that, but I don't think Germany has a reason to hide Corona deaths. This is not an issue to improve the status or polish up the image compared to other countries. As far as I know, all Corona deaths are officially reported in this country. Even if the deceased died causally of other weaknesses and additionally tested positive for corona post mortem.
It is also not that one wants to appease the own population. On the contrary, it is a matter of concern that everyone should know how serious the situation is and that they should behave adequately. Large numbers would impress and for this reason would even be more effective in improving behaviour.
