British media keep on reporting that Germany has been doing pretty well with the pandemic thanks to widespread testing. I have a few friend sin Germany and they keep telling me the opposite- a few of their acquaintances came down with the virus possibly, but none got tested as apparently to do so, you need to prove that you were in touch with someone who was tested positive, except that if this person has not been tested, then you cannot prove it and will not be tested yourself. So you end up in a vicious circle, impossible to prove you came across someone who had it as they also have to prove they have in order to get tested etc.
So- for people who live there or know- is it just different in different lands, or is testing really not that great overall despite the news?
