USA reported 74,000 cases yesterday, France reported 41,000.
And actually many countries in Europe are seeing record number of cases. Meanwhile here in Asia the numbers are still very low.
Is it safe to say the weather does have a significant impact as people guessed early on? If so I wonder how bad it will get during the really cold months.
- When it's cold, you stay home weekends + evenings... so less people mixing might actually reduce cases.shapesalad
- Looking at things from France, I wouldn't say weather makes any difference. Most people around me wear masks where mandatory but are super lax otherwisespl33nidoru
- They will meet friends for dinner or drinks (hence the curfew now), no masks during most meetings as considered inconvenient, and companies don't encourage WFHspl33nidoru
- Hardly ever see anyone washing their hands unless made to, they'll touch everything though and keep messing with their masks, they don't get simple instructionsspl33nidoru
- ^ yeah it's almost like the mask become a virus collecting surface which the user then wipes hand over when fiddling with it.shapesalad
- Yeah obviously there are a million different factors but the record numbers in so many northern countries at once is what makes me wonder.yuekit
- I think it comes down to people being tired of it + the illness not being scary enough (it's no ebola). Imho a vaccine is our only way out of this.spl33nidoru
- still lots of suckers hanging in bars getting drunk , hugging and singing.. 60% of infections are in private meetings in austria..no one gives a shit anymore.neverscared
- lockdown coming.neverscared
- It's the same thing in Germany. People ignoring social distancing in queues, wearing a mask, but only over their mouths on public transport ...Continuity
- ... and we've added 11k cases daily two days in a row.Continuity
- And Marcus Söoder has already warned people in Bavaria a couple of days ago that a lockdown is coming, unless people get their shit together.Continuity

- We closed the country for like 100 cases back in Spring, now we rock 5000 cases daily and masks are mandatory everywhere, everything closed too...oh wellgrafician
- "When it's cold, you stay home weekends + evenings... so less people mixing might actually reduce cases" you don't have a clue how viruses work do you?fadein11
