Germany: people refuse to do PCR tests en masse Chairman of der Verband Akkreditierte Labore in der Medizin (ALM) Michael Muller stated (https://bit.ly/3IvaVMp) the association's concern that due to political discussions about the priority of testing in laboratories, too many patients no longer do PCR tests. Therefore, in his opinion, many people infected with coronavirus are not recognized. Official incidence statistics cover only those cases of coronavirus infection that have been confirmed using a PCR test. Thus, a smaller number of infections detected by PCR tests “reduce” the seven-day incidence rate.
