Europe in detail
.
It looks like most countries are ready to peak, however it's mostly the big drop in France that brought the total for Europe down.
Italy somehow is on top again... Austria and Switzerland are also very high up.
Ireland is still doing the best although they had a slight up tick at the end of the week.
Europe's highest 3-day average reported deaths during the first wave was 4,409, currently Europe is at a 3-day average of 4,622
Deadliest day in the first wave was April 7th with 4,917 deaths reported in a single day, 2nd wave single day highest was Tuesday with 4,863 deaths.
It looks like the second wave is/will be deadlier than the first.
