> Testing for COVID-19 has been an unmitigated failure in the US. Same in Germany. Authorities have tracked and followed infection paths of several 10k people in China to contain the spread and reach a massive slowing in disease spread (confirmed by WHO) due to drastic containment measures. In Germany 35 (without the "k") people were infected in the state of NRW and authorities gave up following infection paths. They're barely testing despite crazy rising numbers and nationally we have discussions about containment measures. The conclusion is that we will likely not contain any communities or cancel events just yet. Because it would impede on individual freedom which is regarded as more important than preventing the spread of a dangerous pandemic.
