Wow..... Germany says part of the reason, their % are so low is beacuse in the last week alone, they have tested 300-500k people.

"That allows us to prepare earlier than has perhaps been possible in other countries,” - Lothar Wieler (Robert Koch Institute)

“We want to use this time,” (to double or tripple, intensive care capacity)

“This is still the calm before the storm. No one can say exactly what’s coming in the next few weeks.”

“We are just starting out to fight the corona(virus) epidemic. The numbers will rise further,”

I wish our goverment here in denmark was doing the same.
(but I know they arnt, they probably thought it unnessary to spend that much on testing)


*edit:
Apparently testing it getting better in denmark too, currently they are able to do more than 2,500 tests pr day ( over 17,500 pr week).
They expect to soon be able to double that.  We re a small country so its not as horrible as I assumed, though not quite germany levels (pr population).
