And this. After some summer 2020 experimentation with testing asymptomatics, Germany went back to testing mainly symptomatic people in the fall, which gets you a higher % positive and *moar overall cases*pic.twitter.com/BINEfBZQW7
German lab capacity is probably more or less tapped out, remember, but they need positives for their scary graphs. So despite all theories that AsYMptoMAticS driVE thE PanDEmiC, they reverted in the fall to mostly symptomatic testing in order to get the richest harvest.
People w/symptoms are already staying home, remember. The added utility of testing them is very unclear But you need every last positive result you can get, so you test them mainly, and you test at high Ct thresholds to catch as many old no-longer-relevant infections as possible
Also, supposedly mass testing is for enabling contact tracers to track down all the disease bearers. Why, then, would you want to flood their docket with a lot of old recovered cases? Because positive cases are politically useful, and contact tracing is bullshit.
