Europe is learning to stop worrying and live with coronavirus. But some countries are taking different routes to plot their return to normal. Case numbers are once again skyrocketing, thanks to the highly transmissible Delta variant. But this is less worrying to European leaders as vaccines are keeping hospitalizations and deaths well below last year’s levels. This means EU leaders are changing the way they view the virus, looking more at hospitalization rates rather than case numbers to assess its spread. “200 is the new 50,” German Health Minister Jens Spahn declared last week, referring to the country's long-standing weekly benchmark of 50 new cases per 100,000 people as critical. Berlin's higher threshold reflects the fact that infections now yield far fewer hospitalizations.
