I agree and I'd add that EU has not failed yet. It has not given up the fight as the US did. Certainly we have been far too loose during September and October.

I agree and I'd add that EU has not failed yet. It has not given up the fight as the US did. Certainly we have been far too loose during September and October. But at his moment all of the EU countries are striving to provide care for everyone in need, which implies remaining below hospitals saturation threshold.
- im3w1l 6y agoWhy not match capacity to cases rather than match cases to capacity? They have had 6 months now to increase capacity but it seems they aren't even trying.
- jerome-jh 6y agoSure they did very little effort in that area. But you have to consider that saturation is reached eventually, so long R0 is > 1. Current trajectory for France is a doubling of cases every 3 weeks. Assuming a huge capacity increase of 50%, that would afford a 12 days delay.
