The best thing the Trump presidency has done is that it shone a bright light on these people. We no longer can pretend that these people are not part of America. They are and we need to learn to work hard to ensure that the grand experiment of American democracy is not ruined because of them.

the US is doing badly, but the European Union is worse, and new lock-downs are being ordered

deaths are rising in the EU. The US appears to be static. 1 week averages

a little more concerning and the US has seen 5 consecutive days of increasing deaths

relative to other states, Oregon is still doing fairly well, but not as good as we used to be doing. Cases have been gradually increasing, on a 7 day average, for a month. Testing rates have been fairly constant

It will be interesting to see what the new European lockdowns do vs doing nothing in the USA.

According to the article, many/most of those deaths occurred early on in nursing homes. By Sweden's own admission, they should have allowed those folks to home-convalesce.

Sweden is doing fine now.

Thank God they've got free health care and ban groups of ten or more.
 
10/11 "USA TODAY analysis of Johns Hopkins data through late Saturday shows 11 states set records for new cases for a seven-day period – Alaska, Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Utah. The U.S. has recorded its fourth consecutive day of more than 50,000 new COVID-19 cases, a streak not seen in two months."

I would not be surprised if some states and cities in the US start locking down again if winter+covid+flu starts looking wicked

one bit of context I forgot to add to those charts was that the population of the European Union was 120 million more than the US. At the same time, it is only 46% of the land mass of the US. So they are dealing with much higher population densities.

I also forgot the link:

that headline is very misleading

the WHO recommended lockdowns as a mean to buy time to get Covid infrastructure in place and prep hospitals, build supplies of PPE, and develop testing protocols and supplies. They never said keep lockdowns in place indefinitely.

the initial lockdowns were the essential tool in keeping nations from being overwhelmed. Nobody at the WHO is condemning those initial lockdowns. And lockdowns were effective in convincing most people of the serious nature of Covid

it's probably also useful to actually define what "lock-down" means. If restaurants are open but required to maintain social distancing while operating at a percentage of full capacity is that a lockdown? If masks are required to enter buildings, is that a lockdown?

and with Covid surging across Europe and the US, there is likely going to be more forms of lockdowns coming. They may be necessary, especially since the idea of herd immunity is discredited.
