How Free Covid Tests Look in Germany For The Future

 Well....Lauterbach (the Health Minister) says....starting in July....free and absolute testing ends.

The wording is....if you show 'symptoms' or are in a high-risk group (little kids/pregnant women)....or going to type of event.....then you'd get the tests...free.

Entering a hospital/clinic or retirement home?  Mandated, and free.

Creating a bigger mess?  Well....what kind of symptoms are we talking about?

In my village....you could have fifty people a day who get up and have a slight cough, and that's enough to trigger them into reacting.  Then you'd trigger fifty free tests (costing 18 Euro each over at the trailer in the mid-town area).

I counted up for 2020, 2021, and 2022....I probably took around sixty of these free tests....meaning I spent 1,080 Euro of the government's revenue money.  Results of the sixty? All negative, of course.  I bet within the village.....there are people who did near 250 tests.....meaning they spent 4,500 Euro of the gov't money.  

Update: 3 Euro cost per test added to the 'free' test deal.  Not a big deal, and the gov't still pays for part of the test.
