The World Health Organization (WHO) is busy for two years sending alerts and warning messages to the world on pandemic virus instead of controlling the pandemic. It’s Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus appears as news anchor to give updates on numbers. The WHO has given the latest warning that 500,000 people could die in Europe by March 2022. The surge in cases is not limited to just the UK or Germany or Austria, there are a number of reasons for the spreading of pandemic across the continent. Europe continues to record a wave of Covid-19 cases with countries struggling to battle the deadly coronavirus. Winter season, inadequate vaccine, slow vaccination drive, lack of discipline from the people, and increasing cases due to Delta variant.
WHO said mandatory vaccination measures should be seen as a last resort. Many countries have imposed several restrictions on movement of people. The Netherlands imposed a partial lockdown to check the virus. Restrictions have also been imposed on unvaccinated people in Germany. Czech Republic and Slovakia enforced similar restrictions. Unrest is spreading across Europe as countries imposed restrictions such as lockdowns to reverse the latest wave of Covid-19 infections Protests over new COVID restrictions across Europe have turned violent, as the continent tries to tackle rising infections. Rioting has broken out in the Netherlands where protesters pelting police with stones and fireworks.
Thousands of demonstrators take the street in Austria, Croatia, and Denmark. Anger and frustration has been increasing among Europeans on new curbs. Travelling around Europe this past week and seeing countries with strict mask mandates and Covid passports suffer rocketing case numbers. CDC advises Americans not to visit Germany and Denmark because Europe's fourth wave intensified. Economists in September believed that the EU had reached a turning point in its recovery from the pandemic. But as countries reimpose restrictions amid surging Covid infections, the continent’s already fragile economy could take a hit. Finally,! Europe becomes a coronavirus epicenter once again. Rest of the nations should learn lessons after seeing the experience in Europe.
