To leave the cherry picking out of it, here's a list of how the European countries I'm tracking did, comparing the waves

I see all countries above Sweden, except Russia and Germany, with lower 2nd wave death peaks.
Ireland has the best improvement comparing the waves

Who gets it and treatment options have changed which mostly explains the lower death rates.
That doesn't change the fact that another 34,407 people died from Covid-19 last week in Europe.
