Maybe a "risk list";
-Wars; "USrael" may be facing limits in escalation...Both the US and Russia will -for different reasons- NOT accept an USrael attack on Iran...
In Lebanon US bombers bomb...killing thousends...The USrael proxy is "limited" in its invasion. Suffering heavy losses in an exhausted "army"....
UKraine is in slow collapse..."joining NATO/EU" will be empty words...UKraine "recovery" may cost trillions-the west can not afford such investments...
US elections will change both -avoidable, criminal, biden made- wars...However the damage to international relations is very large... ------- -Climate; "Milton" may become a hurricane -going over SE-US...soon. Some of the areas hit hard by "Helene" may see another strong storm the coming week...
Europe is preparing for "Kirk"...It is expected to reach Europe wednesday/thursday -october 9-10...Still uncertain how strong it will be, amount of rain, direction...
DJ-My view; NW Europe is able to deal with "limited storms" and quite a lot of rain...Maybe even better than most of the US may be...However "hurricane like storms" are "rare"... The peak of the storm may hit the most populated areas in the evening/night...
Good part; In other day-time storms a lot of deaths were in traffic... Bad part; It may be hard to alarm people in the middle of the night/very early morning...

DJ, There are only a few regions in the world like this. Part of the story is the tens of millions of people living there. It is also a very major economic region...
NL may be the 17th economy of the world-in some aspects...The Ruhr-area in Germany is one of the global economy motors... ------- -Pandemics; Welcome to see the NL Mpox story is (as expected) the 2022 variant...Spread in a care center-care workers washing/in close contact with high risk people is very unwelcome...
Lots of countries see CoViD numbers go up...some new variants may bring more disease...Flu will increase as well...So "Flu-Rona" is expected to increase...
H5N1 in the US and SE Asia a "major problem"...(with very likely lots of human H5N1 infections missed-also in other regions...Europa may miss/not test human H5N1...)
