Testing News

So this came up today in the news.....Austria is now worried over Germans who are apparently on vacation in Croatia (or beyond), and trying to return via Austrian highways to Bavaria.  N-TV did a good job explaining this. 

The discussion?  Well....the Austrians might mandate 'testing' at the border for all Germans....who'd just be passing through.  So you'd stop at the border, spend probably sixty to ninety minutes in some line with other Germans (Dutch too, probably)....before they'd let you pass.  Three hours later, you'd be at the German-Bavarian border, and the next Covid-19 test would occur. 

Cost?  Unknown, but I seriously doubt that it'd be free.

Going and coming?  You could be talking about a thousand Euro in Covid-19 testing for a family of four, to pass via three or four countries. 

If you wanted to kill off tourism out of Germany, via your car....this idea would accomplish it.
