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.
Notably, the cases did not resurge until months after the restrictions were lifted. Coincidentally - at least I'm sure the authorities in Europe think it's a coincidence - the resurgence occurred just as the temperatures dropped to where they were when covid started receding in the Spring.
