** 27-Oct-2020 World View: Anti-lockdown riots in Europe as coronavirus spikes in many countries

Earlier this year in March, there was a certain (shall we say)
smugness among European officials because they were going to nip the
Wuhan Coronavirus in the bud by imposing quick and effective
lockdowns. These lockdowns really harmed the European economies, but
as the number of virus infections seemed to level off and decrease,
the European officials began to declare "Mission accomplished!", and
they began opening up their economies again, much to the relief of
starving business owners and people who had lost their jobs.
So many European officials have been shocked this month by a new
surge in virus cases, sometimes to the levels last seen in March.
And the people in Europe are also shocked because they were finally
working again, but are now potentially facing new lockdowns and
unemployment again.
In Italy, by early summer, new virus caseloads had dropped to as low
as 200 per day, and almost all of Italy's lockdowns were lifted.
However, new cases have again increased to tens of thousands per week.
In Italy, new restrictions have closed cinemas, gyms and pools.
Restaurants have to close by 6 pm, even though most don't start
to serve dinner until 8 pm.
This has resulted in violent protests in Italy and Spain. The
protests are being blamed on far right agitators.
The following is completely speculative, but it's a question that must
be asked: Speculatively, is the Wuhan Coronavirus triggering a
resurgence of far right riots similar to what happened in the 1930s,
leading to the rise of the Nazis? It will be months before we can
answer that speculative question.
In the United States, the number of daily new cases has also risen to
new nigh, though not has high as in Europe, and there were violent
left-wing riots in Philadelphia last night.
