> they are way better at detecting cases and FR/SP have many (100k+) undetected cases.

This is the case. Germany tests 10k-12k people a day - everyone with a symptom. Other big countries only test 1-2k per day, i.e. only severe hospitalised cases. So the undetected/unregistered case count is an order of magnitude higher in FR/ES/UK.

Testing everyone with a symptom would be nice, but coverage is not quite that good here.
