Testing may reduce the number of cases, how does it reduce the severity of cases? This is an illness with no treatment, only symptoms are treated.

Germany apparently has 10 people in serious condition. Availability of resources obviously isn’t a factor...

What do you mean, "no treatment"? Chinese used lopinavir+ ritonavir combination to a great effect, it's just that those drugs have quite a number of possible side effects, plus they're not officially blessed as COVID-19 treatment.
