Coronavirus cases hit records in Europe, surpassing U.S. numbers
Europe set a record this week for new coronavirus infections, overtaking the United States in cases per capita, and a top World Health Organization official warned on Thursday that death rates on the continent this winter could be five times worse than the April peak if people are not strict about masks and social distancing.
The WHO is seeing “exponential increases” in daily cases in Europe, said Hans Kluge, the agency’s director for the continent, noting that at 8,000 deaths a day, covid-19 is now Europe’s fifth-leading cause of death. In just the past 10 days, a million new coronavirus cases have been recorded in Europe, raising the total since the start of the pandemic to 7 million in the WHO’s 53 European member countries.
He said that by January, daily deaths could be “four to five times higher than what we recorded in April.”

His entire wing of the assisted living home has it, and it's starting to spread to other wings. Sounds like all of the staff either have or have had it. The girl I talked to today just got hired this week and has been working 6 am to 8 pm every day. I can't imagine being in their shoes right now.

Also, why single out SD instead of ND? ND looks worse on the graph. What reason do you have for specifically focusing on SD?

Because I grew up there and nearly all of my family lives there, probably.
