A good point of comparison, especially as time goes on, is excess mortality relative to the usual death rate. The euromomo project shows which countries are having a crisis. Data is limited for central European countries but the usual suspects show a spiking mortality rate. Also a difference between the North and South of Ireland.

In other news, some states in Germany are reopening shopping malls because individual shops are under the agreed limit of 800m²... A shopping Sunday in Cologne was canceled only after outcries. And they said caution has to be the order of the day. Sometimes I wonder whether humanity will survive this century. Is this the big filter?
