    And still my first aid teacher to get my German driver’s license said that the survival rate for people whose heart stops is worse in Germany than the US

        It was a few years back. He might have. I mean, he meant survival as in surviving. He was just lamenting that though people in Germany know CPR, they aren’t quick to come to people’s aid. I do remember him saying anecdotally that when someone hits the ground in the US a crowd of people forms trying to help, though they might be mostly untrained.

          Seems plausible, I found americans to be much more open towards strangers when I was there in 2016.
