how can you even have 4.5 million respiratory infections in a week, that sounds like a shitpost
who are all these people, thats nearly 3 covid infections per person per year

wtf

covid, germany 

its not all covid ,especially kids seem to be getting a bunch of infections that would have normally gotten over the last 2 years but still

@sleepycyborg wait how do they even count those, kids have a bit of a cold literally half the year

covid, germany 

@noiob thats only an estimate by rki, not a count of confirmed infections

covid, germany 

@sleepycyborg I mean of course it's just, there's gotta be a large margin of error there

covid, germany 

@noiob yeah there is probably some margin, but the measurements are apparently based on an methodology that was also used pre covid and numbers are up significantly compared to then

also looking at >100.000 positive covid pcr tests per day and a positive rate of 49% the real number of infections is obviously far above the official incidence and 4x doesnt seem so far out
