They got exponential growth again.... same with Spain, and the UK.
Either strick meassures are taken or a new lockdown will need to fight it.

But its everywhere, even the US is trending upwards again (after comeing down from the 60k range to the 40k range, its again climbing).
India is basically 100k everyday.

Denmark is heading the wrong direction too....

Once the cold/flu season kicks into gear and is layered ontop of corona, mortality rates will climb too.
Sucky time to have numbers climb.

The scary thing about the US is that were not flattening the curve enough. 

The first wave we had highs of 35k and flattened at 15-20k

Second wave we had highs of 70-75k and flattened at 40k.

The next wave is gonna be pretty bad.

Winter always sucks for these things..... you have less vitamin D (less sunlight), you spend more time inside crowed together (increases spread).

Corona can make you deadly sick...., like dont have the energy to get out of bed for a week.

Getting that ontop of a normal cold or a flu, could have really bad impacts for outcomes (imo).
Its a bad cocktail, we already see that co-morbidities (other issues of health) you have mixed with corona leads to bad outcomes.
(diabetes, high blood pressure, overweight, bad circulation, weakend immune system, smokers lunges, strokes behinde ect)

This is what their afraid of, with this new wave we re likely to see.
People that get corona + something else.

Its why they have been giveing out flu shots to the elderly in preperation for the comeing season.
Its still likely gonna be bad.

Countries that managed to keep it suppressed and not grow, will likely be happy they managed to do so.
