A French doctor warned Monday that his country has “lost control of the epidemic,” a day after authorities reported more than 52,000 new coronavirus cases as nations across Europe enact more sweeping restrictions to try to slow surging infection rates.

Commuters wearing face masks walk on the platform, of a Paris subway, Sunday Oct.25, 2020. A curfew intended to curb the spiraling spread of the coronavirus, has been imposed in many regions of France including Paris and its suburbs.

The effect was clear on Barcelona’s famed Las Ramblas promenade, which was deserted Sunday night when it normally would have been teeming with people.In two major Italian cities, people took to the streets amid a pushback from small sections of society to new restrictions. On Friday, demonstrators in Naples protested a locally imposed 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew and clashed with police. On Saturday night, far-right and neo-fascist groups led a similar protest in Rome against a curfew.

France declared a state of emergency earlier this month and has been imposing more and more restrictions since September to try to ease the pressure on France’s hospitals, where COVID-19 patients occupy more than half of all ICU beds. Europe’s confirmed death toll has surpassed 250,000 according to a count by Johns Hopkins University, which puts the global toll at more than 1.1 million.

“We have high costs and almost zero revenue,” he said Sunday. “So it will be a disaster, if they don’t help us it will be the death of the restaurant business in Milan.” Government scientific advisers say there are some signs the increase has begun to level off since a three-tier system of restrictions came into force, but that it is too soon to be certain.

It actually makes sense, how much restriction can actually stop a full blown pandemic. It was said the next wave would be worst.

But CBSThisMorning guest said this morning realDonaldTrump could control this?

Cheap journalism. “A French doctor.” No background, no information. What’s the goal of this kind of articles- just clickbait?

😥 Allahuma usturna

Yeah well, that’s how viruses work

Just LET IT GO. We suffer the seasonal flew every year. Western freedoms do NOT ALLOW the necessary restrictions to control COVID in any meaningful way. You want control, then you need to accept tyranny.

They never had control of it, also it is winter when virus come out to play.

At least France tried. Better than a certain country that didn’t try and now says they won’t.

Weird...restrictions we cant even get people to wear a nose/mouth condom

Trump is at it again...

No one can control a virus.

Remember in February when everyone was laughing at the Chinese locked up in their homes

The Covid19 attack profile fits the VitaminD deficiency profile exactly. Those deficient have poor & slow acting immune systems All Dr's know Vit D is key to the correct and fast acting of the immune system In 1930's Sun bathing was known cure for over 165 diseases

Maybe it can't be controlled. Only managed.

🎃🎃🎃contactless

Who gives a shit about cases, What is the death rate? Every runny nose right now is a positive Covid case. Most don't even know they are ill.

Looks like Sweden got it right

Let it run its course. Antibodies across population. Be done with it.

They never had control to begin with. It can't be controlled. Why is this so hard for people to comprehend?

What arrogance it is to ever believe you could control a virus....

Biden can save France. Elect JoeBiden CrackPipeHunter

Cases.

Oops

Meanwhile, in the US: “Hold my beer while we show you how to really screw up a pandemic. 100,000 cases a day by Friday.”

So dumb. Gov afraid of you catching a cold. How them results? How's that mask wearing out for ya all?

It's impossible to have control of a virus. Protect those most endangered and go on with life.
