Europe in detail

France, UK, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark have surpassed their previous peaks.
All are trending up, some alarmingly fast.

At least the more at risk are still being careful, deaths are not increasing much (yet)
And of course we're detecting far more milder cases than during the first wave.

Overall a bad situation to head into fall and flu season.
