Also, if you compare the map of corona cases with population density maps of Germany you will see a strong correlation.

That’s essentially saying where there is more people there is more virus; which is close to a tautology.
Not a tautology but yes, that is essentially what I am saying.

I just found it weird that people seem to be focusing on all sorts of factors like family structure, median income, winter holidays, Fasching/Karneval celebrations etc (which of course also play a role) while completely ignoring that higher population density facilitates the spread of a novel virus.
