Belgium, France, Germany and Spain are all reporting worrying increases in Covid-19 infections in regions of their countries (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/24/europe-warns-of-need-for-vigilance-as-covid-19-cases-rise-sharply). All, of course, have been trying to re-open their economies (in some cases, including tourism). I appreciate that the pressures to try to get economies moving again are immense. I also note that people are, in many cases, trying to do the right thing with respect to social distancing and mask wearing. It does, however, seem, in the absence of a treatment of a majority of these populations (and their visitors?) with an effective vaccine, that this was all too predictable.
