Calling the wave as much more “deadlier” than the first, the leaders scrambled to impose the emergency curfew, restricting people from gathering to reduce risks of overwhelming the hospitals. Meanwhile, as people got confined within the quarters of their homes, netizens joked, sympathizing with the Europeans by way of memes.
Calling out at the students abroad, netizens shared hilarious stills from the Bollywood flicks, saying, that the students after learning about the second lockdown must have been in some way breathe a sigh of relief. Others joked about people that may have planned ahead for the New Year. Netizens demonstrated the mood of the Europeans via memes and jokes drawing a comparison with Indians who have recently managed to bring the COVID-19 under control to some extent and have been allowed to do the movement with adherence to precautionary measures.

No other way to flatten the curve
Users also shared images of the empty streets as Lockdown 2 was enforced in most counties across Europe. Sharing another comical clip, a user depicted Indian police sanitizing the stick had it been India, as they prepared to impose lockdown. “Meanwhile Police,” wrote the user as the clip amassed dozens of like reaction. “France and Germany enter their second national lockdowns. The UK has to do the same now. There's no other way to flatten the curve. Rule of 6 and 10 pm curfew have failed,” another wrote, expressing surprise.
Several other users speculated that perhaps, India too will be under a lockdown as the second wave hits the nation. Many shared jokes about the reaction a friend would give that had planned festivities in advance. French President Emmanuel Macron and Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the closure of restaurants, gyms, and theatres to reverse a spike in coronavirus cases, followed by the UK that took similar measures to bring the "very serious" situation under control.
