An alarming surge in coronavirus cases in Europe and the U.S. is wiping out months of progress against the scourge on two continents, prompting new business restrictions and raising the threat of another round of large-scale lockdowns.

A medical crew treat a COVID-19 patient in the intensive care unit at the Joseph Imbert Hospital Center in Arles, southern France, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020. Many French doctors are urging a new nationwide lockdown, noting that 58% of the country's intensive care units are now occupied by COVID patients and medical staff are under increasing strain.

French President Emmanuel Macron was set to give a televised address as many French doctors urged another nationwide lockdown, with 58% of the country’s intensive care units now occupied by COVID-19 patients. Chancellor Angela Merkel pressed for a partial lockdown in Germany.In the U.S., where practically every state is seeing a rise in cases, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker banned indoor dining and drinking in Chicago and limited the number of people gathering in one place.

The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite were all down in morning trading on Wall Street. Markets were dropping even more sharply in Europe, in anticipation of lockdowns in France and Germany. In the U.S., more than 71,000 people a day are testing positive on average, up from 51,000 two weeks ago. Cases are on the rise in all but two states, Hawaii and Delaware, and deaths are climbing in 39 states, with an average of 805 people dying in the U.S. per day, up from 714 two weeks ago.ADVERTISEMENTBelgium, the Netherlands, most of Spain and the Czech Republic are seeing similarly high rates of infection.

Economists said further restrictions need to be carefully calibrated to avoid dealing a second severe blow to businesses.

This is what happens coming into winter when all you've done all year is suppress.

Rona needs to leave We need to show it the door (Protocol compliance)

Thanks to all those ASS H.'s that follow Rumps example ! 🖕

Lockdown deaths, to save lives.....

Fuck your lockdowns.

How about we talk about deaths and overwhelmed hospitals again. The entire COVID response was based on hospitals running out of room and death counts near or over 5%. None of this came to pass, so the goalpost was moved to the number of cases. That is not a valid concern.

You ap keep reporting that the rate of infection is up from the spring, but you do not put that into context. You forget to mention that the mortality rate is down 75% from the same time period. You are becoming FakeNews

And the death rate? Still extremely low?

Shucks! That Trump is now infecting Europeans 🦠😷

No it isn't... Ppl have been working in this, and it has passed through us, we still worked. The only ppl crying are the privileged ppl who are offended they get the virus too. fk off.

What “progress” was made in the U.S.? This surge was expected, just as it was expected to recede slightly during the summer months. The U.S. has done very little, if anything, to stem its growing number of cases. Anti-intellectualism is a real slap in the face in pandemics, eh?

In US, its because of....

Many people will not agree, but we need a world wide short strict lockdown, or we will see case counts and deaths spiralling out of control. Hospitals have no more beds and doctors, nurses are exhausted.

Don’t worry, this guys gonna save the world 🤪

this is fake news

Imagine all the people going about their life happy, and un-afraid, because they don't watch fake news. COVID will be over after the election.

fakenews COVID killed the flu, get this shit a Nobel Peace Prize NOW.

Obviously, no one has a clue. History will see this moment as the time Europe & America fell to the Chinese virus, & China's totalitarianism took over the world. So sad.
