Europe is again seeing “alarming rates of transmission” of the coronavirus — a “wake-up call” to avoid quarantine “fatigue,” the region’s World Health Organization director warned Thursday.

“We have a very serious situation unfolding before us,” warned Hans Kluge, the UN public health group’s regional director for Europe.

“Weekly cases have now exceeded those reported when the pandemic first peaked in Europe in March,” he revealed, noting last week’s tally “exceeded 300,000 patients,” with seven countries seeing cases doubling in the previous two week

Yeah, right.

Just when it’s fading from the scene and people are realizing what a scam the lockdowns are.

They just have to keep the panic going, don’t they?

Gotta get Trump out of office one way or another.

You are testing 10 times as many people; You are finding the asymptomatic cases. If you were not pushing this random testing, none of these cases would ever be known. Asymptomatic people would just go on with their lives, probably not infecting anybody, and never know they had it and their bodies successfully fought it off.

I’m guessing that with the tests were are using being so sensitive, once we give out a vaccine, people who have the vaccine will test positive for COVID, because they will be hit with it, their bodies will fight it off because of the vaccine, but the test will detect the dead virus parts.

The masks are uncomfortable, oppressive, if worn long enough they will damage their developing immune systems. Masks are a symbol of slavery, and is cruel to force them to wear them. These children are being conditioned to tyranny and slavery. Never in all the history has such a thing been required — except for slaves! Slaves are faceless, treated as less than human, deprived of liberty.

Wake up, why can’t you see this for what it is?

My tinfoil hat theory is that it is being seeded in certain areas to keep the fear/drama going.
No evidence of this actually happening, its just a feeling.
Its why I stay away from crowds, and keep to my close but small social circle.

No Karin, I have ancestors, who were slaves and I can only imagine the terror they had until they became free slaves.

Now thanks to the Karins I have young relatives getting the Karin treatment in elementary schools to colleges being closed on older ones.

If you are not a Karin, I apologize.

If you are, just go to hell!

Deaths per million are worse in the UK, Spain, and Belgium than in the US, even accounting for Democrats like Cuomo forcing nursing homes to accept infected people, driving up death counts.

If you remove NY, NJ, MA, CT, and RI from the mix and average the deaths/million population of the other US states, you get 475. That puts us 17th in the world,behind France, Italy, Sweden, and others. President Trump said as much himself. By all metrics that matter, the US has done as well as anyone during this. Certain Democrat states skewed our numbers a little, but Europe has NOT been some untouched paradise throughout all this, despite their harsh lockdowns and brutally enforced restrictions.

You look stupid comparing slaves to kids in masks. I feel bad for you.

If you believe that every picture depicting slaves undergoing brutal treatment in America is authentic, I feel sorry for you.

Detectable does not mean infectable. After decades in the lab i can tell you.. no one in my family gets a molecular test. They are fraught false positivity and causing fear for absolutely nothing fatal. Sentivity is always teeter totters with specificity. You must balance.

India is getting hit hard too. I notice that Philippines’ 7 day average fatalities curve is not looking promising, either, although total numbers are still modest.

Some of those Euro countries are seeing an upswing in fatalities too, but it is modest. Treatments are better now, of course, which helps.
