The website doesn't place these death and case count graphs close enough together to easily see the two curves side by side, so I made a screen shot of the above shown graphs and placed them next to each other to achieve that. We hear about RISING CASES! throughout a region but strangely we aren't told about the DRAMATICALLY lower death rate compared to the initial rise in infections back in the spring. Things that make you go "hmmm..."
1. More testing finding more asymptomatic cases.
2. More effective treatment.
3. Already killed off the really fragile susceptibles in the first round.

Certainly, I agree. I would just be preaching to the choir to pontificate out loud with the same ideas.

Koln Germany has gone to 100% masks everywhere or a 300 Euro fine. Cases on the rise.

A regional court in Spain last week ruled lockdown restrictions were illegal and neutered their government’s authority to enforce no-mask fines. It is my hope that type of ruling begins to spread world-wide.

From what I have observed a fine really isn’t necessary to get people to wear masks over there. When the numbers get high they usually do the right thing. Then the numbers come down and back to normal.

Also, there is herd immunity among the healthcare workers, thus they aren't spreading to the vulnerable anymore.

Just read an article that describes the usefulness of clothe masks... If you're not washing them at very high temperatures between each use, they could be doing more harm than good to curtail spread....
