What's happening in Europe is deeply disturbing.. did they all just return to life pre-covid?
Not sure but the Older population are the ones getting it now which can quickly drive up the deaths
Since early Sept the number of cases in 60+ age group in the UK has
quadrupled
Germany is reporting the proportion of cases in the older age groups has been increasing since Sept
In France the 65+ age group number of cases has
tripled in the last 6 weeks
In Spain at the outset the median age of those testing positive was age 40....by July that had dropped to 37....by mid Sept the median age of positive cases was back up to 39
88% of the Deaths in Europe are people in the 60+ age group
The European CDC considers it a "high" amount of if more than 60 people per day per 100,000 population in the age 65 or older category test positive.
As of this week 13 countries in Europe are WELL above that range for the 65+ age group
