As the article states, India is currently doing 500 tests per day. Germany is doing 160.000 tests per day.

160k a day? No way. Citation needed. So far total tests in UK are ~30k.

I can't find the source anymore, but the latest Roche AG systems are capable of doing 4000 tests per day. The last generation was 1000 tests per day. Germany also is doubling the capacity of intensive care beds from 28000 to 56000. There is enough money for the machines. Also look at the ratio of infected to dead: 7000->20, while Italy 30000->2000. Just more tests.

Any references for the German number?

I have to correct the number to 160.000 per week thus 23.000 per day.
