Contact tracing and testing continues to be abysmal. Friends had 15 minute contact to a person which was identified as positive 1 day later. Took 5 days for them to receive their test result taken on the day after notification.
- makomk 6y agoIn Germany? You have probably the biggest, best coronavirus testing program out there right now. Your program is the one that our press in the UK always points at in order to convince us that our government has failed us on testing. (Not all of their comparisons are actually true, but that's another topic.)
- corty 6y agoI guess the real facts will only be known in the years after the crisis. Currently everyone is very much in propaganda&blame mode. I wouldn't trust any such comparison. For example two weeks ago the RKI "accidentially" reported a 30% rise in testing. Later they admitted no rise and a clerical error... Truth is, Germany currently has around 50% of its testing capacity unused because the bureaucracy still behaves as if tests were precious or just doesn't get around to issuing testing papers fast enough. And they still don't work in the weekends...
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoWhile not perfect, it's the notification that needs to be fast. After that, you're expected to isolate for two weeks no matter what, because any test wouldn't necessarily detect an infection if it's still in the earliest stages.
