Young people are driving a second, less-deadly surge of Covid-19 cases in Europe

Europe is giving the world a glimpse at what happens when the coronavirus epidemic is brought under control and the economy reopens: the virus bounces back. Spain, France, Greece and Germany are among the countries that have seen worrying spikes in new Covid-19 cases in recent weeks, a consequence of going back to -- sort of -- normal after months of lockdowns. While the continent's first outbreak in the spring hit the elderly, spreading in care homes and hospitals, these new infection clusters seem to be tied to younger people, who are venturing out into bars, restaurants and other public places. 'There is a true resurgence in cases in several countries as a result of physical distancing measures being relaxed,' the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said in a statement on Monday.
