In 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...
