Yeah things are slowly getting better.
Germany with a 7-day incidence of sub 100 for the first time since October.

Not only Spain is rising, Portugal is also rising extremely fast. Up to 15,000 cases and ~300 deaths in one day. If Portugal had as many people as the US, it would translate to 500k cases and 10k deaths.

Portugal seems fairly comparable to the disastrous Amazonas state outbreak, which is seeing a peak of ~ 150 deaths in a 4 million-ish population.

It boggles the mind, though, to think that New York City and parts of northern Italy were even worse at one point last year, and it's not even close.
