Europe in detail

The way back down looks to be slower as well compared to the first wave after a very wide second peak.
A third wave will come down to societal factors and pandemic fatigue. Instead of faster to respond we only seem to get slower in responding. Weekly deaths are still at about double what they peaked at in the first wave. It was never really a peak globally, if you look at the totals on a linear scale, it's only been accelerating since the start.
