It came out today, that Covid 'quickie' test results (the ones you can take in your village or town, which are free)....are reported statistically to the government...BUT they are NOT counted in the national day-to-day Covid infection numbers.
This came from N-TV.
So you could be in a town of 20,000 people, with three test centers in the town. You could have 600 people from the town test daily.....of which this past week....200 of them tested positive.
But unless the 200 folks go to a doctor and get an official PCR test or given the 'slip' by the doctor....those 200 positive-test folks from the quickie-test experience....won't count.
The odds that the real Covid infection rate in Germany is twice the advertised rate by the government? Well.....yeah, that's possible.
Maybe this has been going on for a year or so? Well....yeah, that's also possible.
You can laugh about it, the local cost for that quick-test (being around 15 Euro), and the worthless nature of the test. But it's reality.
