Europe is seeing a modest increase in new daily infections. This is to be expected as winter weather recedes, giving way to warmer spring weather, resulting in folks interacting with different people than they did from October through January (during the coldest weather of the year).

Interestingly, two countries are an exception; Spain and Portugal. (Portugal is essentially surrounded by Spain, thus for epidemiological purposes they should be consider as one unit.)

Spain refused to engage in repeated lockdowns.

Lockdowns artificially prevent the “susceptible pool” from becoming smaller, as nature intends/requires. In other words, Spain & Portugal allowed nature to take its course, while most other European nations worked through artificially means [lockdowns] to maintain a larger pool of susceptible persons.

So...as most of Europe sees increasing numbers, Spain & Portugal - having taken a different (wiser) path - are seeing continued declining numbers; now down to what they were in early March 2020!

I'm curious about your thoughts regarding this article. The writer is stating people are denying the presence of germs or "the germ theory" via alternative medicine, but evidence seems to state otherwise.

While people acknowledge there is a virus, it seems as if the concept of "germ theory" is being warped to push for vaccination and big pharma yet, that's not what the concept of the basics of "germ theory" even advocates i.e. Ignaz Semmelweis and Pasteur but reading into their thoughts, this is not even close to what they have advocate. I.e. Ignaz Semmelweis was discredited during his time for advocating washing one's hands and sanitation of the area during childbirth.

Really a no-brainer and it almost seems as if there is a "My way or the highway" mentality in ignoring basic science of a balance of healthy living (eating, etc) and using medicines.

Advocates for the "Germ Theory Denialism" seems to want to simplify alternative medicine and healthy living as bad and injecting the body with continuous man-made pharmaceuticals as the only way.

The article that led to my asking this, is the following:

No one is denying Covid-19 or rather SarsCov2 is real, but the forcing people to stay indoors, eat unhealthy, avoid sunlight and essential act in a medieval manner.
