I'm not sure I got the same impression. But I agree definitely we haven't even seen the worst of covid-19 yet. It's currently going up in almost every country and the EU is already higher than in the spring. Schools opening and outdoor dining and recreation pretty much done in a lot of the northern hemisphere for the year it'll be a bumpy ride.

I don't have an opinion how bad the situation is, it's clearly not good. But it's not yet as bad as in spring. How do you measure that it's now in EU at higher level than in the spring? By cases sure, because clearly we got better at testing by now, a lot of people had it in spring that was not tested. I think much better comparison point (at the very moment) is deaths per million people [1], see the link.

  That's a good point. I was going by cases because to me that implies that some action needs to be taken again to stop runaway exponential growth again. It's hard to compare almost any numbers since testing is better and treatments are better.

No, certainly haven't seen the worst yet. By early November the Black Death will certainly pale in comparison to covid. Until at least the 4th, then it's smooth sailing when Joe brings us out of the darkness into the light.
