I don't have an opinion how bad the situation is, it's clearly not good. But it's not yet as bad as in spring.
How do you measure that it's now in EU at higher level than in the spring? By cases sure, because clearly we got better at testing by now, a lot of people had it in spring that was not tested. I think much better comparison point (at the very moment) is deaths per million people [1], see the link.

That's a good point. I was going by cases because to me that implies that some action needs to be taken again to stop runaway exponential growth again. It's hard to compare almost any numbers since testing is better and treatments are better.
