ET Covid-19 Live Updates: European Hospitals Are Filling at an Alarming Pace The virus threatens to bring Europe’s ailing health care systems to the brink of collapse. President Trump hailed the big gain as evidence that the economy had roared back to life after the spring’s pandemic-induced shutdowns. Mr. Trump has attacked Democratic governors and other local officials for keeping public-health restrictions in place, denouncing them as needless restraints on the economy. “Do you ever notice, they don’t use the word ‘death,’ they use the word ‘cases’?” Mr. Trump said.
