“Nearly half of all European countries have recorded increases in new Covid-19 cases in the past week, according to an NBC News analysis of data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
Among the countries with the biggest recent surges are Finland, where new cases jumped by 84 percent in its weekly case total, to nearly 62,500 weekly cases; Switzerland, whose weekly total rose by 45 percent, to 182,190; and the United Kingdom, which had a 31 percent increase, to a weekly total of 414,480 new cases. Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy have also recorded double-digit percentage increases in their weekly tallies.”
Covid 19 is stealthy and seems to come roaring back just when people and governments start letting their guard down. The general public does not comply with restrictions as vigorously when Covid surges are in a lull. Additionally, it becomes politically untenable to maintain Covid restrictions when few covid infections are being reported. It remains to be seen if American will experience the same surge that Europe is currently experiencing.
