Third wave? The Netherlands never really left the second one.

Looking at https://coronadashboard.government.nl/landelijk/positief-get... i'd say the first wave didn't really happen in the Netherlands, there was a wave peaking on Oct 30th, next one Dec 19th and the current one is still growing after going through a low on Feb 9th 2021.

With the borders shut, all European countries are experiencing it quite differently. Here in Denmark we dodged the third wave and are now easing restrictions.

We have had a fourth wave hyped up here in Spain. Small ripple would be more accurate.

Canada is being ravaged by it right now. Some of the worst numbers since it began. We’re talking 60x the cases from October (BC). Not sure if it’s the reason why but after the 2nd wave started to burn out they opened up quite quickly. I think people got complacent.
