Germany to reopen all shops and schools in May

5. Comprehensive testing????? Must be some other Germany than the one here in central Europe

Here in the Germany in Europe with Berlin as its capital city, it is extremely difficult to get tested. A very few towns have better testing than most, but not ours. I tried for weeks to get tested. No chance. Either you are famous or have connections or you are dying of COVID-19 and have multiple symptoms, or you won't get tested. I tried. Like crazy I tried. I was sent on a telephone odyssey that took me to almost every listed number and government agency in Westfalia. Even Düsseldorf, our nearby state capitol, "proudly" announced that they would be testing up to 800 people a day. Great--that means that in 3 years, they'll have gotten around to everyone within the city limits (we aren't).

The question came down to "are you showing symptoms?" When I said not yet, they said, then stay home and don't bother us.
