I added the US graph to make the point that we are still in the throes of a first wave that has never gone away.

Being in the throes of a first wave that has never gone away is emotionally different from beginning a true second wave after the cases dropped to near zero - and it makes a significant difference in our ability to successfully respond to a sharp increase in cases.
