I was going to wait until tomorrow to make this post. But as I’m reading this now I’ll go ahead. Yesterday I commented how we recorded the highest death rate since April 30th during the first wave.

Today’s death figures that I’m reading, at what I’ve referred to as the half way point of the day, are currently saying 11 (which tips yesterday’s record which came in at 9) so the last time a reading was this high, was 18 (‘the record’ which was a one time event at the first peak, which occurred April 14th) so it could rise further when I check in again tomorrow as I always do.

Either way that states a lot. I fully understand what’s occurring here thanks to following this thread since the start. We should be ahead of the game in Europe as it was an early opener. I also checked in on the populations with highest infection rates to 100,000 people, and czech is in third place in Europe behind Spain and France:

Spain 270.7 France 153.9 Czech 111 per 100,000

It will be a unique scenario and one to keep an eye on. As the first wave barely registered here as anything significant compared to other countries. This has then led to an extra disregard for what’s happening, as people think it somehow missed this place. To think we have people in the US still claiming it’s fake etc, but generally people in higher affected countries have more familiarity with what’s going on. Well here, those deniers are more exaggerated in my experience and plus there was never a first wave to properly focus minds in general.

The damage has been caused already during summer I feel, and we still have good weather and I see events locally that have been had and are to go ahead. So the potential is still there and no one seems phased by the uptick.

I know it’s still early days, but I’ve checked on the data everyday through summer and beyond. I’m very familiar with the slightest subtle changes, what I’m seeing with the pattern is a stark uptick. It’s going exponential. Btw potentially today’s figures are also on par to break the record yet again for daily infections. I’m looking forward to DR’s mid October date, without lockdown every week leading till then should be dramatic. I’ll continue to update. Definitely on a roll here now.
