Europe in detail

Italy is somehow on top again. The rest is either stagnating or increasing.

Deaths are still declining at least. It's a race between vaccines and new variants popping up in this huge Petri dish of over 20 million active cases. Israel resumed its downward trend, the vaccines are working.
