True. We are never going to see the true world picture. We can only look at the published figures and take a guess of common sense really. | |||

In Germany tests are paid for by government as was the case for most of 2021. On 11th October they stopped paying but within a month it was reinstated. This will carry on until mid March when it will be reviewed. We run a test centre in Germany and the current rate for lateral flow tests is €12.50 inc test kit and testing fee. We get paid monthly from the German health ministry. The 89 million figure from Worldvision is well out of date. It has hardly (if at all) changed for weeks. | |||

The German government pays for lateral flow tests. If you test positive then you have to go for a PCR test (mostly run by the German red cross) this is also paid by the government. However if you just walk in to the Red Cross for a PCR without the positive LF paperwork then you do have to pay. Around €70 last time I looked. | |||

The truth is that they did STOP paying for tests - then panicked in November when their figures went through the roof. So. Correction YES they did charge until November. | |||

"but only england keep running out from persistant poor management. it's good job for the english that the welsh attribute of excellent management keep stepping in to help. ![]() ![]() Again . . . 1st time it was Royal Mail Slots actually. This time because we are testing so many - 3rd in the whole world above 222 countries for Shere number of tests - non of those 222 countries comes close. Just once believe that 3rd in the World for testing output above 222 other countries and 3rd below two others in the whole world is actually quite the fooking achievement by anyone standard. Oh and search testing kits shortages in Europe and you will find Germany and others experiencing it too. | |||
