Is Covid diminishing in Germany? If you look at the 7-day infection rate.....yes. However, I will point this odd problem.
For about 18 months, the federal gov't paid for testing. Back in early spring of 2022....they halted that supplemental testing business. If you want a test.....you pay for it yourself (in the 10 to 15 Euro range). If the cheapo test is positive, then the PCR test is applied, and it's free by the governmental deal.
Well...you can't say that people are actually going down to test themselves.....if they have symptoms.
My humble guess is of every hundred people with symptoms....probably only 40 of them will be tested (via the cheapo test) and some of those will get a negative result (because of the cheap tests).
So I have doubts that the governmental numbers are that correct.
On deaths? The city reports the cases daily, with age and health condition of the individual who passed on.
What you generally see now is a significant effort to downplay the virus, and move ahead.
