In Jena there were about one dozend(?) infected people when masks were introduced.
Already wrong, the very article shows that Jena had about 145 verified cases in April 6. And test availability was absolute shit in March/April. It still isn't much better now, but from the relation of cases and deaths in the first and current second wave[0], we can infer that current testing is about 3 times that of April.
Actual cases therefore were at least about 450 in April 6, if we generously assume everyone who is positive gets tested right now. Jena only has a population of 110k BTW.
