hans—georg krausslich is head of virology at heidelberg university hospital — earlier he explained what, i think it's true that the relatively large number of testing, which is probably higher than in most countries in the world, is making a difference in the sense of both getting the numbers right but also getting an overall view of the epidemic. we clearly have a large number of relatively mild cases who were diagnosed. we feel that this might also help in the course of the disease because we might capture people earlier, before they go on to artificial ventilation and so on, they might be able to treat them at an earlier stage, which could also be helping in this overall crisis. i think we are currently, as everybody facing the problem, that we simply do not get more reagents to do more testing. so even if you had more personal, machines, and everything, the reagent market, on the international scale, is pretty empty. so different groups are working on different programmes to devise alternative testing, but also full testing. so our view is that with the gradual opening, we might be
