  25. The key piece of information, which is now available, but not widely publicized, is that among all the people tested the incidence of the virus is remaining around 10-15% and is NOT increasing exponentially (it's growing, but very slowly). What IS growing exponentially in most places is the number of performed tests. And, as an obvious consequence, the number of DETECTED cases is also growing at that rate. The differences in testing are also the reason why death rates appear to vary so widely across countries. Shame on the public health authorities and politicians that they keep this crucial information hidden from the public (i.e. never included in the "dashboards" or reports of increasing case numbers) just to keep us scared and compliant with their nonsensical lockdown measures. But this is also the exact reason why there will not be the sort of apocalypse that they had predicted in the beginning. You can't blame the initial reaction very much, but you can and SHOULD blame not changing course in face of this new data. (The stock market, driven by much smarter people, already realizes that. That, combined with the excessive liquidity pumping, is why it is not collapsing and will not be collapsing anytime soon.) When asked why a broad cross-population testing was not being performed (which would prove the above point of constant incidence rate further), Germany's RKI chief only answered that it was "not constructive" and declined further comment. Which just shows that he is not currently following the goal of correctly informing the public, he is following political instructions from above. At this point many people high in office DO NOT WANT this "pandemic" to end too quickly as they would lose face and political support because of what would seem like very poor decisions. It's much better for them to let this "test pandemic" continue until they can, at their own convenience, reduce testing and then declare "victory" despite all the "huge sacrifices", of course thanks to their "wise guidance" and "public solidarity" (all of which was not necessary in the first place, but they just found out too late, after they had already fucked up).
