European countries are likely to impose more restrictions on public life in the coming days, analysts have said, as the number of daily coronavirus infections continues to rise rapidly.

"Expect lots more restrictions over the days and weeks ahead, especially in Europe," Deutsche Bank analysts said in a note Monday. "The fact that the virus is already spreading quite rapidly is a big worry."

On Monday, German Health Minister Jens Spahn said rising coronavirus infection numbers in countries like France, Austria and the Netherlands were "worrying" and that Germany would sooner or later import cases from there, Reuters reported. He added that countries like Spain had infection dynamics "that are likely out of control."

As cases rise, however, more drastic measures are being considered, with the U.K. among those mulling whether to introduce a second, "mini" national lockdown to act as what has been described as a "circuit breaker" to stop the virus spreading. The country's government is also considering more restrictive measures such as a 10.00 p.m. curfew that would force cafes, bars and restaurants to close early.

"They pretty much all don't want a further wide scale lockdown but they also don't want the virus to spread. Its not going to be easy to solve for both and as such it's going to be a pretty difficult few months ahead if September is seeing numbers as high as they are already.

elerianm Wake up call?! We are inundated with fear provoking COVID stories. The media won't even let us have a positive thought. In other words, WE ARE AWAKE!

elerianm elerianm reminds me of someone

elerianm So what is next with all the harrasment death right

elerianm Many people work so hard and even risk their lives!! The politicians pay millions of people to be unemployed - so unfair!!

elerianm United States Congress men and women are still giving $Billions to foreign politicians, $Billions to Federal employees to 'study' black holes, 'explore' Venus, and play with toy cars on Mars, $Trillions for things that have absolutely no practical value.

elerianm Banks are busy in these activities and stopped lending SME’s.

elerianm What are the hospitalization & death rates doing? Please include that in your reporting.

elerianm In other words, the world economies are going to crash. When and if a 'vaccine' is rushed out (for profit of course) and made available, how many critically thinking people are going to take it? How many prudent and safety concious people are going to wait and see?

elerianm 'Can't belive we dun lucked out maw... it was just a hoax here in 'merica'

elerianm this is like watching the ocean recede and recede and recede knowing the usa federal response is even further behind and a tsunami is coming. the opportunity to reduce numbers infected was missed so there are more spreaders, largely asymptomatic and now we learn virus is airborne

elerianm Thats a nice way to put it

elerianm Please help me share this video against vacuous Moscow Mitch! 👍

But I thought they were doing great and only the USA was struggling all because of Trump?
