Perhaps, but at least Germany is tackling this on the data front. They are performing over 160,000 tests a week [1]. That's more than most countries have tested in total.

All over the press today that they will look at tomorrow’s (21.03.2020) population activity and make the lockdown decision based on that. In the region where I live (south of Aachen) it is visible that people take this serious. Distance is kept, not much traffic, streets generally empty, tourists are gone. But next week will be sunny. Let’s see.
People are out in groups, in parks, drinking with friends, I see old people in line in supermarkets next to coughing people, no safety distance, no masks, supermarket shelves are more and more empty, people dinning with their entire family from toddlers to grand parents, &c.
I expect Merkel to announce an Italy/France style full lockdown in the next few weeks when they figure out that people simply don't care about what the gov is asking for.
