The interesting fact is that countries were not able to work together and learn from each other.

There has been a chronology. Italy was the first massively hit country. France did not learnt from it. Spain did not learn from France. UK did not learn from Spain. The US did not learn from Europe... All those countries had more time to prepare than the previous one and obviously they did not. They even did worst every time.

And in the middle of this, there are countries like Germany who managed it better than the others. The example was there. It was just not followed.

Finaly, the first wave passed (except in the US where it is plateauing) and people just could not keep being cautious. Many people protests because wearing a mask is inconvenient (and not because it is a privation of liberty bullshit), they party, they take risks... in France, the declared cases has never been that High. Of course there are more tests, but the hospitalisation and deaths are slowly increasing. The story is not over.

In Germany we callem Covidiots, because it is a mix of esoteric, right wingers, extremists and so called Reichsbürger (people want back the old times and tell the FRG is kind of a business and the people are personel and such bullshit. Kind of strange. However, not a majority...

Pete was here. The following picture does not represent the opinion of RedZoneAction. Please double-check any information you get about COVID19. Use common sense. Don't consume strange stuff just because a POTUS tells you to do so.

Idiots moaned the same way when they introduced laws about wearing seat belts in cars, it took a while but most of them came around. They potentially had more of an argument too as it was only themselves they were endangering by not taking basic safety precautions?!

So a bunch of European countries (Spain for example), seem to be having a major uptick in cases, although not in fatalities. What are they saying in Europe about this? Reasons? Causes?

Just curious, because it's a bit different than the states, where different sections of the country seem to peak and trough.

Not so much as an uptick, Steve, just more testing has given more positive results mainly in the under 30 age bracket.

True.

From the website of one of the most important Italian newspapers:
March 23, 2020
In Italy
affected by covid-19: 50000
hospital 20692
intensive care unit 3204
Tests per day 24K (1 positive every 4)
Yesterday
affected by covid-19 50000
hospital 2800
intensive care unit 254
Tests per day 100K (1 positive every 50)

Very difficult to chew numbers.
For sure in March only people with symptoms were tested
Now daily tests are four times higher and also people without symptoms but who has contacts with someone that resulted positive are tested.

What I am writing probably is far to be true but comparing the people in intensive care unit 3204/254 = 12.6
can we say in march in Italy the affected were 50K x 12.6 = 636000 ?

we will see...
Take care and stay safe

it is what experts call hammer and dance.

People face higher counts, get more cautious, counts drop. People get less cautious, the "dance". Counts raise, the "hammer". Cycle completed.

In Brazil, after the "dance" is more "dancing". Numbers are raising again on some states on recent weeks (like in Rio) but the beaches are fully crowded during the weekends, spreading the virus even more.

which is resulting in a bigger hammer, as expected by experts. Too bad human nature is like that.
