“Pandemic fatigue” has set in across parts of Europe where the outbreak is on the rise again in some countries that were hailed early on for stamping out massive outbreaks.
France and Spain are now seeing more new cases every day than they did when the virus originally peaked in the spring. Israel on Friday entered a second nationwide lockdown, shuttering restaurants, hotels, gyms and more, amid soaring new cases and as the Jewish High Holiday season begins. While epidemiologists expected autumn to be worse, the rapid resurgence comes ahead of the official start of fall on Tuesday.Tsai said the resurgences in France and Spain are similar to the one the U.S. saw earlier this year, after the Memorial Day holiday, when many states, particularly along the Sun Belt sought to aggressively reopen businesses and activities. He called it a symptom of “pandemic fatigue” in which people and government officials wish the pandemic away and lighten up on the restrictions that keep the virus at bay.
“There’s been this false trade off in the U.S., and I think to a certain extent in Spain and France as well, of it’s the economy or the virus, so let’s try to limp along and do both,” he said. “And the consequence is you do neither well.”
Americans and U.S. policymakers should look to Europe and learn that the response to the virus is not over when cases fall, he said. Rather, the response needs to be sustained until the world has more tools, such as a vaccine.
″[France and Spain] are the cautionary tale of what happens if you don’t have a sustained public health effort. This is not like a rainy day or like a hot day. This is like climate change. This is a generational pandemic,” he said. “If we’re not actively ensuring that we’re controlling the pandemic, the epidemic is not going to just burn out on the road.”

It makes me angry that I feel I have to question this. I want to trust the science and the scientists. This administration has made that impossible.On Monday morning the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention swiftly edited its web page describing how the novel coronavirus spreads, removing recently added language saying it was “possible” that the virus spread via airborne transmission. This was the third major revision to CDC information or guidelines published since May.
The agency had posted information Friday stating the virus can transmit over a distance beyond six feet, suggesting that indoor ventilation is key to protecting against a virus that has now killed nearly 200,000 Americans.
The CDC shifted its guidelines on Friday, but the change was not widely noticed until a CNN report on Sunday. Where the agency previously warned that the virus mostly spreads through large drops encountered at close range, on Friday it had said “small particles, such as those in aerosols” were a common vector.
But Jay Butler, the CDC’s deputy director for infectious disease, said the Friday update was posted in error. “Unfortunately an early draft of a revision went up without any technical review,” he said.Comment

Dogs. <3A pilot program using dogs to identify travelers infected with COVID-19 kicked off at Finland’s Helsinki Airport Tuesday.
Travelers who agree to participate in the voluntary program are asked to swab their skin with a wipe that is then put into a jar and given to a dog waiting in a separate area.
It reportedly takes the dog about 10 seconds to indicate whether the sample is COVID-19 positive.Comment
