They are throwing money at everything. even at the Cargocultists in Spain... new quick and antibody tests are already close to production.
the problem is getting enough snot from potential patients. Germany makes 200k PCR tests a week and could make 200k additional Roche-Tests a day if needed, but getting the 200k a week is already hard because of the safety regulations for getting the snot from people.
Quite german of you to refer to 8 public, renouned institutes known to push european science forward as "cargocultists", they've only financed 17 projects, of which 6 have spanish participation.
As for antibody tests. They're not the same as monoclonal antibodies, I'm talking about actual antivirals to actively cure people. Not more tests. Which are also necessary but that needs little research at this point, what it needs is our government to stop being retarded for once in their life. (Which means its a lost battle really)
