The cases that were missed on the report (not missed, just missed on the report) for a couple of weeks has possibly given a false impression of how quickly things were rising. That now gives the impression things are rising even faster now.

I am not sure you are seeing infections rising quicker than most other places in western europe, just seeing it happen later, as you did in March / April
