There are many aspects where there can't be a comparison between the UK and Germany (massively devolved health management and a mixed state and private healthcare system) but it's interesting nevertheless. It seems very local empowerment backed up by a strong, popular federal leadership was the key to Germany's success
Yes, that's a very good article and interesting to see they had a near-hidden track and trace infrastructure in place that could be called upon. The empowerment of the GPs' surgeries to set up testing was inspiring.
