I read an article by a Spanish reporter that said the reason Germany had a lower death rate is because they only count the people that died in a hospital. A year from now let's compare previous years deaths to 2020 to see how many people actually died from this virus.

The virus will spread at some rate, no matter the steps taken; the questions are how the caseload gets managed-- and the superior initial detection helps reduce the amplitude of the undetected case numbers, by identifying candidates for isolation earlier, and allowing earlier treatment-- hence the lower death rate.
wait what? it seems like you're conflating the spread rates with the death rates
early identification is almost exclusively about spread, and they have a ton of it with this policy
nobody has a reliable treatment to prevent death or hospitalization at this time, and they certainly didn't in late Jan/early Feb

that is why catching the cases
No it wouldn't have.
People are gonna isolate living on top of each other?
Who knows how many they had already come in contact with before testing positive.
What happened in France,Spain and England?
All had testing out early on.

Every person that could’ve tested positive could’ve minimized contact w others weeeks earlier. This is just common sense
Carry on

More testing equals more cases
Bad healthcare equals more deaths.
Bad healthcare equals more deaths.

i think deaths, at least in the developed world, will be linked to obesity and smoking

Of course there is possibly a link. But am obese smoker has a better chance to live in the US it seems

No country was more proactive (other than SK) and rolled testing out earlier (they developed the WHO test) but they STILL have all these cases and deaths with ALL this testing? WTF?
Testing has yet to cure anyone.
