Coronavirus-COVID-19 this Saturday 7 mars 2020

COVID-19, flu, same fight, but not the same issues

Disposable tissues and hand washing, these are the safety instructions

Waiting to go into phase 3 (epidemic phase), France continues its vigilance, without panic. The duration of incubation of the virus being twice as long for Coronavirus-COVID19 as for influenza, the traceability of this new virus is much more complicated, hence these measures which are not excessive. Serenity and seriousness go hand in hand…

At 7 mars, din the world:

We count to this day 92 countries affected by Coronavirus-COVID19 worldwide and more than 100 000 cases have been identified.

At 7 mars, in France and before going from phase 2 phase 3:

We count 613 cases of which 39 people in serious condition or in intensive care;

9 people have now died from Coronavirus-COVID19 in France.

At 7 mars, in France and according to the services of the ministry, all regions are affected by Coronavirus-COVID19: 3 in Outremer and the departments of Oise and Haut Rhin with many households (clusters) are among the most concerned.

In Alsace, schools will be closed for two weeks starting Monday 9 mars.

Some sporting events are postponed this weekend, especially in rugby (Scotland-France) , as part of the 6 Nations taking place from 1 February 2020 at 14 mars 2020 because a Scottish player has been tested positive for the Coronavirus-COVID19 virus. League matches 1 football in France continue, as well as most other sporting events…

Public health, solidarity health

A famous handshake refusal in early March 2020

Basic precautions (hand washing, do not get too close…) must absolutely be followed to avoid too large and too rapid a spread… but above all, to avoid, to the elderly (our grandparents, our ancestors) or fragile people with certain illnesses, to contract this bandit of this new Coronavirus.

Disinfectant solutions in supervised manufacturing in pharmacies

Pharmacies now have the right to manufacture their alcohol-based solutions, at fixed prices of € 2 for 50ml, 3€ 100ml or € 5 500ml.

Simple and applicable instructions to protect Others. But are the French all capable of it?

The friendly and fraternal kick

Salvation at the foot and some images on Utube could generate a form of conviviality and raise questions about it…

If yes, why do we always see people on the street, in some media, greet each other with a handshake or kissing? Why this supermarket cashier keeps biting her nails in full view of all customers? Why is it so difficult to refrain from certain usual gestures which nevertheless would facilitate the care of truly vulnerable patients?
