It's a pretty rough day for the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Covid issues. They came to admit that the precise number of Covid infections (being readily reported for about 18 months and regarded as 'gospel').....is no more.
Most of this blames shifts over to the idea that no one is 'entitled' to PCR tests anymore. Prioritization is taking place, and what they can deliver is basically a ball-park number. Reliable? Well....prior to this day....things were rock-solid, and I'd say that most people are just shaking their head at this.
I don't really consider it a crisis or even a mini-crisis.
At some point around a year ago....Mainz University went and did a test study....finding (at least regionally).....that a fair number of people said they never had Covid.....yet showed antibodies in their system. So by their estimate....for every ten folks who did develop Covid and tested positive....there were four more who never had symptoms.....never tested...yet had a light case of Covid. So the real numbers talked about nightly by the government folks....were just accepted as absolute, when they weren't that absolute.
People will get over this, and simply chalk it up to another humor part of the German Covid story.
