Who would've thought that the more you test, the worse the outcome in terms of Covid responses would be? Covidistan falls very short on all these indicators, which proves massive policy failures
The problem in Covidistan is the fact that a lot of „friends“ of the government earn A LOT of money with the whole testing strategy (and masks, btw). The newly created „PCR gargle testing“ branch is a cash cow. Vienna started with gargle tests last year and - oh, how strange! - no antigen tests are allowed in Vienna anymore. You have to be PCR tested in order to be able to go to work or the doctor’s. There was a scandal (what else?) regarding the bidding process for the gargle tests - as there was no official request for tender. A friend (we guess) from the Viennese mayor Ludwig has „won“ the bid - he (and bis company, LeadHorizon or Lifebrain) was the only candidate. I have also heard that his company does not even have a valid EU certification, but I am too tired to verify this. The corruption makes me sooo damn tired… (One article from July 2021 about the scandal: https://zackzack.at/2021/07/01/prozessbeginn-gegen-wiener-gurgel-tests-aerztekammer-klagt-labor/)
As other companies have „friends“ in local politics the companies which offer gargle PCR tests are now mushrooming all over Austria. That‘s absolutely fatal. In Vienna every unvaxxed employee has to test daily(!) in order to be allowed to go to work. In rest of Austria you need 3 PCR tests per week (or 1 antigen test per workday). Students from primary to upper secondary schools have to be either PCR tested 3 to 4 times a week or antigen tested every day. On „high season“ days Covidistan processes around 780.000(!!!) tests PER DAY! Up to date the whole testing program has cost us around 4,3 billion Euros. That‘s a helluva mountain of money for the „friends“ of our politicians 😎.
Is the screening program of any advantage for the inmates? Well, people get a well deserved „Genesen“ (recovered) certificate and some days of „quarantine holiday“ when tested positive. But most Covidistan inmates (including companies) are horrified by the testing as the necessary quarantines have the potential to destroy well established processes in companies, schools and healthcare institutions as the positive tested (but healthy) people have to stay at home (and there are tons of them at the moment). Our healthcare system is on the verge of overload, but not due to Corona.
Regarding the why, assuming nefarious plans and plots:
By testing the fear level is raised until the populace through their self-appointed spokespersons clamour for the yoke. Contrast and compare with USAmericans after 9/11.
Assuming no specific or particular plot other than the basic underlying momentum towards more control that is natural for all organisations:
A trapped animal will try every which way to get out of the trap. Given our higher cognitive function, we have exponentially more ways of trying ineffectual, even occult or ritualistic methods to avoid or control the inevitable. Contrast and compare any governemental project aimed at controlling things beyond human ability, be it climate or substance abuse.
Also, regarding Sweden's bragging: that it worked out for the best for us, is pure dumb luck. The socialist democrats wanted to effect full scale lockdowns but lacked both legality, parliamentary support and most important actual ability to enforce mandates. Hence, waffling and hand-wringing ensued. Sure, /now/ it's a plan. We had a good plan for Covid. We have always had a good plan for Covid. 2+2=5.
As to the HIV issue in particular, that would be an interesting thing to consider. I would suspect that quite a few who are talking family planning with their gynecologists might be interested learn how, and why, they or their partners got HIV positive.
I've read (heard) some stories about this trial in, iirc, Australia where many trial participants (in the Covid jab trials) tested positive for HIV, so, we'll probably soon know about this, IF this would be a thing, you know.
Regarding OWID: when I type "corona [country]" into Google, it will come up with OWID data, including hospitalizations for Austria, but not for Germany.
Ha, that's awesome: a glitch in the Matrix, perhaps?
I don't use Google (Goebbels), hence I couldn't know, but I shall explore this further, esp. as this is hilarious: OWID claims to have no Austrian data, and now you're telling us that Google has that data, but doesn't for Germany (again, vice-versa for OWID).
Yes, Japan appears to be much 'saner', relative to its other US-controlled satellites in W Europe.
The testing mania is quite a thing, I agree, but it's extremely problematic (hence my comment in the Austrian Constitutional Court's questionnaire concerning the importance of the test regime, which is the bedrock of the entire mandate crap).
A sizable chunk of the test numbers in Covidistan, though, derives from the fact that kindergarten kids and school kids are tested 2-3 times per week; this is mandatory (incl. shaming and bullying, of course) and it's an absolute abomination, as well as an abandonment of any 'pedagogical' ethics and responsibilities: the children are betryed by those who society puts forward to look after them.
Re the 'flu season' comment--still no flu wave this winter; it's the third winter in a row now (2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22) that there's constant warnings, but no influenza wave to speak of: conincidence?

Wait until they start testing everyone for HIV

Orthe flu. Or TBC.
More tests = more 'cases'.

What is going on?
I have no idea... the OWID data for Germany seem to be based on this sheet (column J):
