@omaramoodi3057 If the hospitals fills up the lethality rises to about 5% (1 in 20 people getting the disease) I believe? Of course with hospitals it's not all that lethal... But hospital capacity isn't scaled for a full blown epidemic like this in modern times...

@andreaerling7614 No... It's because of the new strains... Positive rates are going up all over the world because of those, not just in Germany. More test might theoretically increase the total number of cases confirmed, but not the number of confirmed cases pr x number of tests. Sure, that particular test might be questionable, but it's not like Germany only uses a single test, is it? Cases are going up. That's just indisputable at this stage.
