From mid to last May, Europe had tamed the first wave of coronavirus, but had not eliminated it. If Europe had chosen to continue with the elimination of the virus, a momentary wave could have been avoided. And then complacency appeared. The restrictions were particularly pleasant during the summer and early fall. Later, when the weather cooled in September, others returned to bars, restaurants, offices and houses where the virus could spread smoothly.
Over the past 10 days, the European Union (EU) has outperformed the United States in terms of new capita-consistent coronavirus instances. The European Regional Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Hans Kluge, said there had been an exponential accumulating in daily cases across Europe, adding in the UK and outside the EU’s doors. The continent now reports an average of seven days of more than 1200 deaths consistent with the day.
While Europe’s total is experiencing the effects of a momentary wave of coronavirus infections, there are major differences in the effect and reaction from one country to another.
The following figure shows that the resurgence of coronaviruses in Europe is taking place across several countries that have also led the first wave, adding Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, but the wave for now also includes several countries that were saved most frequently. in the initial assault in March, such as Poland and the Czech Republic.
The rate of infections shown lately is much higher than in March and April in many European countries, partly due to more evidence than in the first wave, but the alarming accumulation in test positivity, maintaining double-digit percentages in many European countries – suggests that the intensity of the spread of contagion is increasing Hospitalizations and the occupancy rate of extensive care sets are increasing , with several jurisdictions, for example, the Liege region and near Liege in Belgium and Rotterdam metropolitan domain in the Netherlands – already reporting capacity disorders in the fitness system.
Belgium stands out as a mediocre country, not only in the first wave, but is now experiencing a dramatic increase in new cases; 80% in a week. Hospitalizations have also increased, with more than 3,500 people recently hospitalized with Covid-19. Belgian officials warn that if new instances continue to accumulate at the same rate, Belgium will fill its capacity with 2,000 beds of extensive care until mid-November.
In several countries, such as the Czech Republic, the wave is much worse than the first in terms of the 3 key indicators: cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
Other countries, such as Spain, show that while the number of new cases is worse than in March and April, hospitalizations and deaths are not as high as they were at their peak in the first wave.
Some European countries have been able to maintain relatively solid control of the stage on the first and the wave at the moment. The figure below shows that the moment wave of new daily instances in Denmark is lately relatively short and silent. Its control strategy (the third highest) in Europe behind Iceland and Luxembourg; and 2. 2 times the US rate. Isolation and monitoring of contacts that he began implementing in March, seems to be driving the crisis. In addition, the mortality rate in Denmark, measured in deaths of millions of people, remains more than five times lower than that of its neighbour, Sweden.
In general, Europe’s wave of moments is worse in terms of new daily cases, however, this (yet) has not resulted in hospitalizations and general deaths exceeding the figures observed in the first wave, in many countries the number of patients hospitalized by Covid-19. is already reaching 60% of last March and April’s highs. The 3 expansion curves – cases, hospitalizations and deaths – have different slopes, with less pronounced hospitalizations and slightly later deaths. A vital warning is that death is a backing indicator. Many of those who die from Covid-19 spend more than 4 weeks in the hospital. Therefore, it is inappropriate to draw definitive conclusions about the trajectory of the death curve. A fourth curve to consider is excess mortality from all causes. At the peak of Europe, more deaths are emerging again.
In particular, in the United States, the trend observed so far is that the peak moment (focused on the solar belt states during the summer) and now the third upward wave (concentrated in the midwest and northern plains) is the peak in the past. spaces less ed; while across Europe, the wave of the moment looks like many of the same affected spaces that were hit on the first wave. There are some notable exceptions to the rule, particularly the provinces of southern Italy that had largely escaped from Covid-19 and are now also heavily affected.
As at the time of the summit that mainly affected solar belt states in the United States during the summer, the hole between box curvature and death curves can be characteristic of many things. More tests would possibly be in the most sensitive of cases. especially because they involve a younger demographic organization and those with mild or non-existent symptoms. In fact, the average age of other people who tested positive is at least 30 years younger than those who contracted the virus in March. Older age is a critical threat that definitely correlates with increased severity of symptoms and death. In addition, we can characterize fewer aggregated deaths at the time a relatively effective amount of treatments are available.
Since last week, European countries have reintroduced other degrees of restrictions, although so far maximum jurisdictions, with the exception of Ireland and the Czech Republic, are resisting the types of draconian blockades imposed in March. Coronavirus infections in Europe are felt differently in other countries and, as a result, political responses have been different.
The series of measures taken through European governments includes limits to outdoor household meetings, masking and physical distance mandates, business closures, non-essential bars and restaurants, and even curfews in some places.
So far, the Czech Republic has implemented the maximum package of restrictive measures, which come with the closure of schools for at least 3 weeks. Holland and Germany have imposed what they call a “partial closure” that comes with the closure of bars and places to eat (except for takeaways) but does not come with schools. Other countries such as the UK and Italy have tightened opening times for places to eat, imposed partial local blockades, set stricter limits for meetings and additional requirements for expanded masks. to full closures. These smoother measures are unlikely to save you the need to take more difficult action in the very near future.
