After driving down COVID-19 cases to a low level this Summer, Europe is currently experiencing a second wave of infection. While countries are taking action, Spain has been especially hard hit by this recent surge.
Both Spain and Greece have taken similar actions, but Greece acted two weeks earlier. This difference in timing has had dramatically different effects. Spain now has 100 times the new cases that Greece is experiencing. See the graph below for a comparison.
When dealing with extreme risk like the exponential spread of COVID-19, early and swift action is critical. Back in the spring, we may have pleaded innocence. Now we now what we are dealing with, there are no excuses.
Truly stunning comparison. Thanks for the insight, Christian.
Thanks for the kind words Doug.
