Coronavirus: What can the UK learn from Germany on testing?
Germany certainly has had a relatively low fatality rate - but that could still change.But there have been signs in the past few days the fatality rate is increasing - and it could yet spike as it has elsewhere.
And if Germany does end up with a lower fatality rate than other countries in Europe, early testing will be seen as a key factor.Health Secretary Matt Hancock has suggested the strength of the German pharmaceutical and biotech industries was a big factor. "My German counterpart, for instance, could call upon 100 testing labs ready and waiting when the crisis struck, thanks in large part to Roche, one of the biggest diagnostic companies in the world."Many of the private laboratories being used for testing in Germany are associated with universities and other medical facilities rather than with big business .Germany spent €4,271 per person on healthcare in 2016Germany's federal political system appears to be a big factor too.
