Is that sarcasm? De-platforming him was the right move (I agree it should have happened earlier) but I don't feel like the right-wing fever has broken at all. The temperature may have lowered, but the sickness is still very much with us.

But -- to keep with your metaphor -- lowering the temperature in patient zero sure seems to have reduced the chance of further outbreaks across the pond. Before the deplatforming, Trump was omnipresent in the media here and as a result on a pretty good trajectory to get a following in the fringes of Europe. The lack of media attention has been cathartic, at least as far as I can tell (small university town, so probably not the best place to judge that but still).
