Several European states and cities are once again caught up in the midst of the so-called ‘third wave’ of the coronavirus pandemic, a development that comes against the backdrop of months of failures by the centralized European bureaucracy to master the vaccinations, which the former EU leaves member Britain as a “speedboat” rushes ahead.
Germany, France, Italy and Poland are among the European countries closing or expanding this week as they experience sudden increases in the number of coronavirus cases. Italy’s new closure began on Monday, with tens of millions of Italians plunged into so-called ‘red zones’.
The 11 regions, which make up the majority of the country, are areas that the Italian government has considered particularly vulnerable to coronavirus. Within them, businesses that are not essential are closed and residents are subject to strict travel bans. Like previous Italian locks, citizens must print and fill out an official Italian form of government if they want permission to leave their own homes.
The French capital, Paris, will start a new exclusion on Friday night. Like other European countries, the government blamed a “third wave” of Coronavirus, reports the BBC. Like Italy, non-essential enterprises would be closed and Parisians would not be allowed to travel to other parts of the country without a legitimate reason, and would have to fill out a form of government if they wanted to.

Poland will also close tonight at midnight. It will take three weeks and comes against the background of ‘fast-growing’ cases of coronavirus, Politico reports. Again, a third wave was quoted.
In the Central European country, a wide range of businesses are recommended to close, including shopping malls, leisure activities such as skiing and swimming and cinemas.
Germany is overseeing further closures today. According to Reuters, Health Minister Jens Spahn said: “The increasing numbers in cases could mean that we can not take further opening steps in the coming weeks. On the contrary, we may even have to take steps backwards ”. Deutsche Welle claims that the “third wave” of Coronavirus has begun in Germany, Europe’s largest economy.
These developments come against the rolling drama in the capital of the European Union, Brussels, with Eurocrats trying, failing, and then wanting to show the blame for the vaccination against the whole bloc. While other countries made rapid progress last year in getting contact and vaccination orders in place, the European Union – amid demands that EU member states would get faster and cheaper due to their collective bargaining power through Brussels – was captivated by bureaucratic inertia and left the orders within months, and allegedly kept his contracts in poor shape.
The EU sought to block the export of Vax to Britain, which accused the UK of blocking exports, and acknowledged that the UK had not banned the export of vaccines, before immediately implying that the UK does not export. That demand was repeated today. https://t.co/amBeLny96g

As things stand now, the European Union has strayed from vaccine critics to the vaccination crisis this year, giving enough shots to innocent 12% of the bloc’s population. The neighboring country of Europe and former member of the United Kingdom, on the other hand, fired enough shots to give 40 per cent of the people a dose. In real terms, the EU and the UK have actually given at least one shot to 9-in-100 and 38-in-100 people so far.
For the sake of comparison, the United States gave 22% of the people their first dose.
It is not clear whether the low vaccination levels in Europe have made it vulnerable to the so-called third wave, which necessitates the new barrier, or not. Nevertheless, European mainstream media sources repeatedly, if obliquely, imply that there is a link.
However, this does not explain how the United Kingdom – far ahead of the European Union on vaccinations and despite the fact that supply is shrinking because India is withholding supplies due to the July target of vaccinating all adults, is being told to do another golf and closing expected later this year.
Breitbart London reported this week that, despite this vaccination success, the UK’s leading statistician is predicting a “third wave” of coronavirus this autumn. He told television: “… we must also realize that it is a virus that is not going to go away, and I have no doubt that there will be a further wave of infections in the autumn.”
As it currently stands, the British government is expected to end the closure – including major social events such as festivals and nightclubs – “no earlier than” on 21 June.
