> Germany has been able to hyper test their own population, while the rest of Europe was left running at low rates of testing, including Britain, France, Spain and Italy, along with all of Eastern Europe This has almost nothing to do with industrial strength. This is about having lots of distributed, independent, competent laboratories. It certainly helped that the test was developed in Germany in January. Afterwards the developers started immediately to spread the knowledge about the test to the other laboratories. This shows the strength of decentralized laboratories. Other countries organized that differently. Sometimes centralization is more efficient, but often decentralization combined with distributed competence is more capable to adapt to change.
