France imposed curfews while other European nations are closing schools, canceling surgeries and enlisting student medics as overwhelmed authorities face the nightmare scenario of a COVID-19 resurgence at the onset of winter

With new cases hitting about 100,000 daily, Europe has by a wide margin overtaken the United States, where more than 51,000 COVID-19 infections are reported on average every day.

But the return of normal activity - from packed restaurants to new university terms - fuelled a sharp spike in cases all over the continent.

When will this nightmare end?🤷🏾‍♀️
