I kinda expect a new big spike in Germany any day now. Sure, most people do the distancing and a staggering amount is actually wearing masks but there are still many instances where tons of people are packed in tiny spaces, at which point masks are useless.

Current case number is low enough that I can hope case tracking is actually working to reign it in. But there are still problematic areas. The mother of my friend had it, and people in her household only got a test with symptoms showing. Also only members of the samehousehold were isolated. So definitely we in germany don't do the same contact tracing as South Korea or Vietnam. Still, maybe with all the mask and other stuff, that might be enough? We'll see.
