According to media reports, on November 24 local time, the Italian Prime Minister's office held a cabinet meeting to discuss the formulation of new measures such as "super green pass". The new measures will require people who have not been vaccinated with the new crown vaccine to stay at home and watch TV quietly, not to go to restaurants and theatres.
In addition, Bolzano autonomous province of Italy announced the resumption of curfew measures, stipulating that during the curfew period from 20 p.m. to 5 o'clock the next day, residents can only travel for work, health or emergency reasons, and need to carry the self declaration.
In fact, in Europe, Italy is not the country with the most serious epidemic at present, and its confirmed cases have increased by 10000 in recent days. Although this figure is not optimistic, it is controllable compared with other major economies in Europe.

Minister of health of France:
The whole of Europe is burning
The current epidemic in Europe, according to Olivier Veron, French Minister of health, is "burning all over Europe".
According to the official data of the World Health Organization, as of November 23, 2530231 new confirmed cases and 29466 new deaths have been added in the past seven days in Europe, while Germany and France, the two major economies of the euro zone, are at the forefront.
On November 23 local time, there were more than 45000 newly confirmed cases in Germany; On the same day, more than 30000 new cases were added in a single day in France, a new high since August 11. Prime Minister kastai even confirmed the infection.
On the same day, the number of new cases in Britain, which has left the EU, also reached 42000 in a single day, compared with more than 42000 in the previous day4000 cases. The number is so amazing that the former British vaccine minister Nadeem Zahavi claims that Britain will become the "world's first vaccine to defeat COVID-19".
According to the statistics of worldometer, as of 6:30 on November 24 Beijing time, the United States, Germany, Britain, Russia and France were the five countries with the largest number of newly confirmed cases, and four were in Europe; The United States, Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Germany are the five countries with the largest number of new deaths, and four are also in Europe.
There is no doubt that Europe has returned to the epicentre of COVID-19.

German Minister of health:
Either vaccination, rehabilitation or death
There are various explanations for why the current European epidemic has suddenly become so serious. In this regard, although some research institutions have established relevant technical models, at present, the research is not sufficient.
Too fast deregulation, seasonal factors in the coming winter, too many people who are unwilling to receive the new crown vaccine, and the reduction of the efficiency of the new crown vaccine are all considered possible reasons. Because China and other countries have also entered winter, but the effect of epidemic prevention and control is far better than that in Europe.
In the face of the resurgence of the epidemic, some European countries have strengthened control to varying degrees.
On November 22, Austria became the first country in Western Europe to resume national ban measures. Austria also plans to implement compulsory new crown vaccination from February next year. It is the first country in the EU.
On the same day, Hungary announced that all people could receive the new crown vaccine without registration or appointment. Greece chose a similar measure as Italy: more restrictive measures for those who did not receive the new crown vaccine.
Relatively speaking, Germany is embarrassed at present. Although German health minister Jens Spang said on November 23 that the implementation of "closure" measures would not be ruled out, it is difficult to take national and strong measures because the Merkel Government is now a caretaker government and is coming to an end.
To this end, Jens Spang can only shout to those who refuse vaccination: "by the end of this winter, the Germans will either be vaccinated, rehabilitated or dead!"
Britain continues to uphold the idea of coexistence with the virus and continues to lie flat. British health secretary said Javed insisted that there was no need to implement control measures as Christmas approached.
French President macron also said that France will not "close the city" for the time being, but he said so for reasons other than the epidemic.

The cumulative death toll in Europe will exceed 2.2 million
In the face of the comeback of COVID-19, the reason why Ma long did not intend to take strong measures is about the presidential election to be held in April next year.
Although macron has not officially announced his candidacy, there is a high probability that he will not be absent. This has to take into account the social response of all its policies. Since European countries have tightened epidemic prevention measures to varying degrees, protests have been triggered in many countries.
In fact, for the latest round of epidemic in Europe, the European Office of the World Health Organization has issued a clear warning - by the spring of 2022, the cumulative death toll in the European region is expected to exceed 2.2 million. This means that more than 700000 people will still die in Europe in the next few months.
The delay in controlling the epidemic may also affect the economic performance in the cold seasons of the fourth quarter of this year and the first quarter of next year. Goldman Sachs expects European output to fall by 1. 5% in the same period last year.4%。 Germany's uncertainty is not included here. Germany's contribution to the European economy is about 29%, but now the epidemic is the most serious. Goldman Sachs's prediction is likely to be optimistic.
Nomura's economists predict that the eurozone is likely to experience a slowdown in growth in winter, and people will even consider whether they can have a good Christmas.
With the recurrence of the epidemic, the European Central Bank is also aware of the risk of economic downturn. European Central Bank President Lagarde warned to avoid the "cliff effect" in the economy. Perhaps the ECB will soon launch new stimulus measures.
However, the epidemic situation has made a comeback, but epidemic prevention has so far failed to form a basic social consensus. How much money should we invest?
