Waves

Europe Confronts a Third Wave of Infections.

To be clear, when I talk about โ€œno mega-surge of doomโ€ and โ€œno third wave,โ€ I am talking about the US only. Thatโ€™s where I live and thatโ€™s what most affects me, and thatโ€™s what I know the most about.

That said, the EU is utterly fucking up their vaccine rollout and is instead relying on lockdowns (which, mostly, donโ€™t work all that well) so I fully expect a significant number of European countries to have a third and even a fourth wave of infections. However, seasonality will help them just as it did last year. Itโ€™s just not that warm in most of Europe yet. When the weather improves, I expect cases to level off or fall a lot.

But they bungled the one thing that would halt the pandemic and are now paying the price. Sucks to be them.
