I have seen a case made for 'eaters of fermented cabbage (kimchi, sauerkraut) do better' against which I would offer coleslaw, which is probably eaten more frequently than most Germans eat Sauerkraut.
Reason a) is a possibility: people in care homes did not necessarily get hospital care, they just died. c) what's 'a respectable level'? We're only NOW (in a borough with a very high rate of cases and very high rate of susceptible POCs) rolling out testing for essential workers (supermarket staff, cleaners, taxi drivers). The rest of us do not have access to tests. 'respectable' to me would mean 'anyone with symptoms and all contacts that can be found'.
