Are you going to take advantage of the deconfinement to share an aperitif with friends or with your loved ones? This experience could make you want to. A Japanese TV channel, NHK released images of an experiment by scientists, reports The Obs .
Ten participants were invited to a buffet meal. One of them, representing patient zero, coated his hands, with everyone’s knowledge, with a fluorescent liquid, only visible under black light.

Then, everyone took advantage of the dinner, serving in turn on the buffet provided. After only half an hour of situation, the researchers turned on the black light. The finding was instructive.

All the participants had traces of the famous liquid on their hands, three even had it on their faces. Cutlery, glasses and plates also had them.
Illustration of the risks on cruise ships
This test can be transposed to the risks on cruise ships or at weddings, say the researchers. He also underlines the need to scrupulously respect barrier gestures.
Especially since all the guests knew who the “zero patient” was, while in the case of the Covid-19, it is not uncommon to be asymptomatic.
In addition, the fluorescent liquid only spread by contact, while SARS-CoV-2 is also transmitted by droplets, which can remain suspended in the air. However, in a meal, it is unlikely that the guests wear a protective mask.
LOS ANGELES – Early confinement and other prevention measures promoted by the state government have allowed California, with more than 40 million inhabitants and some 300 deaths from COVID-19, to become an example of how to deal with the coronavirus pandemic in United States.
So far, the nation’s largest metropolis, Los Angeles, with more than 10 million citizens, has recorded fewer than 6,000 cases and 132 deaths, far from New York City, which has 8 and a half million inhabitants. and it has confirmed some 130,000 infections and more than 4,000 deaths.
“California has been doing quite well in the COVID-19 pandemic, with a relatively low number of infected per 100,000 people and a low death rate,” said Professor Karin Michels, head of the Department of Epidemiology at the School of Public Health, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
California Governor Gavin Newsom was one of the first in the country to enact relatively strict confinement, allowing only “essential” activities such as going to the grocery store and pharmacy, and exercising respect for safety distances between people.
In contrast, eight states – Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, South Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming – have not mandated their residents to stay home.
“The governor issued ‘home security’ and ‘shelter’ orders relatively quickly. Universities like UCLA and other large employers closed even earlier and sent people to work, teach and study from home,” said Michels, who has extensive experience in disease prevention, public health and statistical methods.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, California schools may continue to be closed until the end of August.
Newsom also took the initiative to decree the closure of schools, which will remain closed until next year, as a preventive measure; in asking President Donald Trump to send a hospital ship to Los Angeles to support local hospitals before it reached a hypothetical peak in the number of cases, which has not yet occurred; and in closing the state’s beaches and parks.
Another point that seems to have helped so far in the exceptional case of California against COVID-19, according to experts, is the low population density of the state, which reduces the possibility of contagion and allows better compliance with the rules of social distancing.
“TO
Despite having a large population, Californians do not live in
as dense as New Yorkers. Cities spread with
Few skyscrapers: Relative to other states, many more people in
California lives in houses, not in apartment buildings or buildings
high, “summarizes Michels, who is based on data from a study of his
college.
YOUNG PEOPLE, LESS DEATHS PER CAPITA
California has had a much lower per capita death rate than most of the nation’s largest states, with the exception of Texas.
“The state has a low average age and a high
density of healthcare facilities, which may have contributed to
the low mortality rate, “explained Michels.
According to a recent study published in The Lancet, the mortality rate among those infected with 20 years of age is 0.03%, while for those 70 years of age it is 8.6%.
Cautious tone
The
Californian authorities have projected alarming numbers in the
recent weeks, although so far those estimates have not been
compliment.
Newsom himself foresaw two weeks ago that more than half the state’s population, or about 25 million people, would become infected, so he begged its residents to follow the guidelines to the letter.
For his part, the mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, did not hesitate to forecast that the city “would follow in the footsteps of New York” in number of cases, a catastrophic scenario that is still far away.
COVID-19 affects children differently than adults. This is what the doctors say in the following video.
The United States on Monday exceeded 10,000 deaths from coronavirus, with 10,335 and almost 350,000 infected, making it the third country with the most deaths after Italy and Spain, according to the count of the Center for Systems, Science and Engineering (CSSE) from Johns Hopkins University (Maryland).
The new data is known after this Sunday
President Donald Trump, during his usual daily press conference,
make sure “this will probably be the hardest week, between this
week and next, and there will be a lot of death. ”
The state of New York, the great epicenter of the pandemic in the United States, accumulates with these latest figures a total of 4,758 deaths and 130,689 confirmed cases of COVID-19, compared to just over 122,000 that it had a day earlier.
Suzuki’s commitment to all-wheel drive began in the late 60s of the last century, when the need to create a small, efficient, simple and light SUV was observed. In 1970 the Suzuki LJ10 Jimny was presented, which measured less than three meters in length, weighed only 600 kg, had 3 seats and had a 2-stroke engine of 360 cm3 and 25 HP. These dimensions and dimensions, together with an all-wheel-drive system that can be connected with a reduction gear and the rigid double axle, made it an efficient off-road vehicle. He could climb trialeras, enter deep forests and advance through narrow paths without disheveled.
The success of the first Jimny was immediate and during the 70s it evolved, gaining power and capacity. The world needed Jimny and exports began with the arrival of better benefits. More powerful engines and three bodies arrived: open, closed and pickup.
The 80s, another myth is born: the Vitara
Suzuki was ahead of its time in introducing the Vitara at the 1988 Tokyo Motor Show, creating a car that laid the foundation for the SUV concept that is so fashionable today. This visionary model brought all-wheel drive to a new type of car, more comfortable, friendly and efficient in the city and on the road than conventional SUVs.
The Suzuki Vitara has four-wheel drive in its genes and throughout its three decades of life it has remained faithful to the original idea. Today it is the only SUV in its class that has a true four-wheel drive system and offers a true 4×4 spirit.
In the eighties (1981) also came the second generation of the Jimny, the SJ 410, with a more current style, the same light and efficient philosophy, and an eye toward export. In 1983 the SJ 413 was launched, already with a 1.3-liter engine, 5-speed gearbox and an improved interior that established the brand in new markets. This model began to be produced under license in Spain from 1985. In 1988 the Samurai appeared, with wider tracks and better behavior; and soon after, the Long Body, with 58 centimeters more in length.
90s, unprecedented success of the Vitara
In the 90s the Vitara exceeded all expectations for sales worldwide. Throughout its history, more than 3 million units of this car have been marketed, marketed in 190 countries and five continents, and manufactured in three.
The range is expanding and in 1991 the 4-meter, five-door long body was launched. New engines such as the 1.6i 16-valve 97 hp or the 2.5-liter V6 improve its capabilities and comfort. The 1.9TD engine arrived in Europe in 1996. Production of this generation of the Vitara would take five years.
The year 1998 was very important for the Suzuki 4×4 range, because two new models were presented: Grand Vitara and Jimny. The former brought a sleeker design and greater interior capacity, while keeping Suzuki’s 4×4 heritage intact with its separate chassis, pluggable traction and capable suspensions. The third-generation Jimny had spring suspension, which increased the wheel travel compared to the previous SJ; and it had a connectable traction system in motion. Jimny’s successful design allowed it to be on the market for 20 years, with slight updates, until 2018.
2000s, all-wheel drive crossovers arrive
Suzuki perfected the original concept with the second generation of the Grand Vitara, launched in 2005. With a sportier and more attractive design, it was offered with an extensive range of engines and a connectable 4×4 drive system with different driving modes.
In 2003 Suzuki innovates once again presenting a 4×4 version of the small Ignis crossover. Crossovers take hold in the Suzuki range with the launch of the SX4 in 2005. All-wheel drive also extends to other types of cars, and in 2009 a saloon like the Suzuki Kizashi also benefits from this technology.
Decade of 2010: total commitment to 4x4s
In this decade a new generation of the Vitara is born, which remains faithful to the original spirit and all-wheel drive. There is also a new generation of the pure SUV: the Jimny; and the Ignis, S-Cross and Swift, which becomes the only all-wheel drive model in the B segment.
Suzuki’s 4×4 drive systems are grouped under the name All Grip and three variants of this system are created to better adapt to different lifestyles and types of cars. The Suzuki Ignis and Swift assemble the simple and efficient All Grip AUTO system. The Vitara and S-Cros have the All Grip SELECT, which allows you to select through a command between four programs: Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock. And the Jimny SUV boasts the All Grip PRO with reducer.
The number of patients with coronavirus in the Samara region since the beginning of April has grown by three people. It’s really a bit, but the situation around is more like preparing for combat action. New infectious beds are constantly being prepared in the region, doctors are being trained, hospitals are being re-equipped. Residents perplexed: “More patients? They don’t tell any information? ” In fact, there is no need to look for a dirty trick: citizens are honestly told about how the situation is developing. But what comes next is difficult to predict. Associate Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Samara State Medical University, Chief Specialist of the Ministry of Health of the Samara Region on the Problems of Diagnosis and Treatment of HIV Infection, Infectious Disease Doctor with 30 Years of Experience Elena Strebkova now helps to organize an infectious diseases hospital at the hospital named after Midpoint “There are no patients here, but who knows if they will appear tomorrow.” She told in an exclusive interview to a journalist “KP–Samara”, Why the whole branch of medicine is working so hard today, although the numbers of cases and the inhabitants seem low, are Samara residents at risk of picking up a coronavirus and why is COVID-19 more dangerous than“ ordinary flu ”.
– Elena Alekseevna, why is such mass training, reprofiling of hospitals necessary?
– The measures taken by the government of the country and the region, and now allow us to prevent a surge in incidence. If not for them, we would be faced with a situation that is now happening around the world. Thanks to the measures taken for isolation and sanitation, a large number of cases of infection do not appear. This is done so that all our medical organizations have time to prepare. We see that new cases of infection and new cases appear daily, and we must be prepared to provide highly qualified medical assistance to the residents of the region. Like all my colleagues, we will be happy if we do not have to. But we must be prepared.
– How are hospitals preparing to receive coronavirus patients, what is the peculiarity of interacting with such patients?
– Infectious diseases that we usually deal with in the Samara Region are caused by microorganisms that do not require special preparation from a doctor. And COVID-19 is a particularly dangerous infection. Therefore, all protective measures in hospitals converted to infectious hospitals, for example, in SOKB named after V.D. Seredavina, taken for this class of pathogenicity. For this, doctors put on protective suits, masks, goggles – a person must be fully protected, because even small aerosol drops that remain in the air after coughing or sneezing can get on it and then lead to infection.
– How are doctors trained to resist the coronavirus?
– Doctors at hospitals that are converting to infectious hospitals are currently undergoing training. First of all, they are taught to wear and take off protective clothing correctly. Because the physician must first protect himself from infection, otherwise there will be no one to help people.
In addition, doctors are told how the virus is transmitted and how to protect themselves; they explain all the rules for disinfection. Of course, we study the clinical forms of the disease, how it manifests itself, what supporting signs of coronavirus infection, what indicators you need to pay attention to in order to make a diagnosis and assess the severity of the patient.
Why is it important now to stay at home.Why is it important to stay at home during coronavirus? That’s what the doctors say about it
– And as for lung ventilation, for example? Is she taught to do it?
– Naturally, such a huge number of resuscitators, infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, which may be needed in case of a surge in incidence, is not in the healthcare system. Therefore, if necessary, infectious disease specialists and pulmonologists will work as consultants. One infectious disease specialist and pulmonologist per 100 patients – this will be quite hard work.
Under their guidance, doctors of all other specialties, after training, will be able to work with such patients. But the main burden will fall on resuscitators. Here, one resuscitator with two nurses will work for six people. Although basic training in mechanical ventilation and resuscitation will still pass all the doctors. For example, the staff of Seredavin Hospital is almost completing such training.
– How large, in your opinion, is an infectious disease specialist with 30 years of experience in the likelihood of a scenario when 100 coronavirus patients fall on one pulmonologist?
– We all want to hope that this probability is low, but we should always be prepared for this. It’s impossible to deploy an infectious diseases hospital in a hospital that was not intended for this; deploying such a huge number of resuscitation beds is impossible. The preparations that are currently underway will allow us to avoid the so-called “Italian scenario” – the very help that is needed will be immediately provided to the patients. IN Italy such a difficult situation was due to the large number of patients at the same time. Quarantine was announced late in the country; the healthcare system was not ready for such an arrival of patients who need ventilation support. In our country, the health system managed to prepare.
– Explain why we have so few patients and how relevant is self-isolation in this situation?
– These are the rules for the development of the epidemic. Why in Moscow so many sick? Not only because there are more people. But also because people from different countries flocked there and only then were distributed among the regions. Therefore, a huge number of sources of infection fell precisely in the capital. Naturally, there is the largest percentage of cases. But people from Moscow came here, and now the virus is spreading here. And now it doesn’t have to be contact with a person who came from abroad. This may be contact with a person who has not left the territory of the Samara region, who himself does not suspect that he is a source of infection.
The virus already exists in the urban environment, and it was for this reason that self-isolation measures were taken to protect people from each other. The closer we are to each other, the greater the likelihood of becoming infected, and the biggest danger is that this will happen at the same time, giving a greater burden on the health system.
“How can the virus spread if we all sit at home?”
– Let’s really look at things. You are not sitting at home. Anyway, you go to the store, to the pharmacy, where to whatever. The main distribution path is through door handles, through the buttons of elevators, in contact with trolleys in stores. These are transmission routes that no one has canceled. And with close contact at a distance of less than two meters, infection from person to person is also possible.
– They say that coronavirus is less dangerous than ordinary flu, it has less mortality, there is no reason for panic?
Coronavirus prevention: 10 tips by Gennady Onishchenko.“The epidemic will end soon and we will return to a happy life,” Gennady Onishchenko reassures. And for the prevention of coronavirus, he gives the Russians 10 simple tips
– Mortality from influenza was also quite high until the moment of mass vaccination. Now vaccination saves us from a large number of deaths with the flu. And we expect the appearance of a coronavirus vaccine only by the end of the year. Therefore, people are not protected. And since the virus is new, it first appeared this year, we have no immunity. And since no one has immunity, there is no layer that would restrain the explosive nature of the epidemic. Explosive is when several thousand cases appear at one moment. According to some experts, the main surge in the incidence may occur next week. The medical system must be prepared for this.
– In social networks, KP-Samara asked readers why, in their opinion, in the Samara region such a low incidence of coronavirus. It turned out that most are sure: we just have little testing for coronavirus. How do you rate coronavirus testing in the region? Are they enough?
– We test as much as necessary, except Rospotrebnadzor A laboratory has been deployed at the AIDS Center. They test those who came from abroad and are in quarantine, all patients with pneumonia, with severe forms of acute respiratory infections, pregnant women – volumes are large.
“And the main question that worries everyone is when will it all end?”
– So far, the measures taken are designed for the next three months. But we will all be happy if everything ends earlier.

Antigens produce opposite effects to the virus, they generate antibodies. The genetic code for those proteins was injected into tobacco plants six weeks ago, and the antibodies have now been harvested to start testing, primarily with animals. He tobacco does not harbor pathogens that harm humans and allows the development of antigens more quickly than other means.

The French country overcomes the barrier of 4,000 dead
France has passed the barrier of 4,000 dead in hospitals and, little by little, the numbers of the deceased in nursing homes are beginning to be known. Only in the Grand Est region there are 570 elderly people and the authorities assure that from today the data of the entire country will be known.
The Government expects that the release from confinement will be gradual And although the scenarios are still being examined, it could “be done by region, depending on the results of the tests or by age,” Prime Minister Édouard Philippe has predicted. But there are still many uncertainties and the peak of the epidemic has not been reached either, although there are signs of hope: the number of admissions in resuscitation (ICU) stabilizes.
The French Government is counting on increasing the national production of sanitary protection material in the face of difficulties in obtaining it abroad. From different French regions it has been denounced that the mask orders they had made in China were “repurchased” at the same airport from which they had to leave by Americans who paid three or four times more and in liquid.
Economically, the coronavirus crisis already affects one in five French employees. Some 3.6 million workers have been affected by an ERTE, in total about 3.6 million, which could cost the state about 11,000 million euros in 3 months.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, who according to some Russian media outlets has not been allowed to approach President Vladimir Putin for days, said yesterday morning, quoted by Moscow radio Echo, that the head of state would continue his agenda. usual and would hold a meeting with direct presence of members of the Government. This despite the fact that it was learned on Tuesday that Denís Protsenko, director of the main Russian health center for the fight against coronavirus, the hospital on the Moscow periphery of Kommunarka, had tested positive for COVID-19. Protsenko met Putin in Kommunarka on March 24.
Yesterday, however, a few hours after reporting on the president’s plans, Peskov rectified saying the opposite, announcing that the planned meeting with the ministers would not be done physically but by videoconference. And so Putin carried it out from his residence on the outskirts of Moscow in Novo-Ogariovo. “The president prefers these days to telework everything … we take all precautionary measures,” said the Kremlin spokesman.
However, yesterday, before Putin did, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin did meet with his Cabinet and physically. Some ministers came with a mask, although most, including Mishustin himself, were not wearing it. Today, Thursday, Mishustin did meet with the Executive by videoconference.
Peskov also clarified that “all those who were with the president in Kommunarka are being subjected to coronavirus tests daily”, that is, the spokesman himself, the mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobianin, the deputy prime minister, Tatiana Golikova, the minister of Health , Mikhail Murashko, and the head of the Rospotrebnadzor supervisory body, Anna Popova. Peskov already reported Tuesday that the COVID-19 tests carried out on Putin are “normal.”
But it is a fact that the top Russian leader has confined himself to his residence and that, in addition to making his remote working contacts, he has suspended his public meetings. And the threat to the health of Putin, who is 67 years old, stems not only from the consequences of his visit to Kommunarka and his meeting with the director of the center, but also from Peskov, who spent a month last month in a birthday party with several infected and hospitalized, including the singer Léshenko, and Kristina Bitáyeva, an official of the Presidential Administration who tested positive for the coronavirus after returning from the United States and Canada via Paris.
In his virtual meeting yesterday with the ministers, the Russian prime minister acknowledged that the situation in Russia with the coronavirus “is getting worse”, despite the fact that the numbers of infected and dead are still very far from those of countries like Italy, United States, Spain or France. Putin signed the decrees approved by the Russian Parliament to contain the pandemic, including one that empowers the government to declare a state of emergency, a prerogative that until now was exclusively held by the president. Peskov has assured that the Russian president plans to address the Nation again today.
Currently, almost two thirds of the regions of Russia have decreed the total confinement of the population, more than 100 million people. In the last 24 hours, 771 new cases of COVID-19 have been registered throughout the country, representing a rebound. Yesterday, when the increase in cases was 440, a small decrease was observed compared to Tuesday, which registered 500 new infected. The total number of people with coronavirus in Russia now rises to 3,548 and the death toll to 30. The number recovered from the disease stands at 235. In Moscow there have been 595 more cases and there are currently 2,475 infected and 19 dead. .

Belgium surpasses 1,000 deaths with coronavirus
Belgium has crossed the barrier of a thousand deaths with coronavirus. The crisis team confirmed on Thursday the death of 183 more people in the last twenty-four hours, which brings the death toll to 1,011 people, of which 93% were over 65 years old (40% were over 80) . Fatal figures in a context in which the number of infected continues to skyrocket. Today there is talk of 15,348 with a rise of 1,382 compared to Wednesday (912 positives have been detected in Flanders, 317 in Wallonia and 137 in the Brussels region). The result of the around 65,000 diagnostic tests that have been carried out since the outbreak of the crisis.
The most immediate objective of health officials is to avoid saturation of the Belgian system. “We must maintain current measures to make room in hospitals,” said the virologist Emmanuel André, who in the daily appearance has referred to the use of medications such as chloroquine (used for the treatment or prevention of malaria) that is ” integrated into our clinical study protocols ”but it is still unknown“ if it is completely effective or its possible side effects ”.
André, when asked by journalists, has also spoken about the use of masks in a generalized way. “They are useful, but not 100% effective” and “in no case” can they replace the current measures of confinement and social withdrawal, he remarked.
In the last 24 hours, 584 patients with COVID-19 have been hospitalized and 363 have been discharged, bringing the number of recoveries to 2,459 since March 15. Today the system would have occupied 52% of the intensive care beds.
“Stay in touch.” “Let’s not leave each other.” Comédie-Française, which will launch its online channel “la Comédie continue!” At 4 pm tomorrow. (shows but also unpublished pastilles, readings), to the online programming of the National Scene of Valenciennes,messages from all theater scenes have been flowing since the start of containment. Most often, the solution chosen for “Save the relationship” is the recording of free shows, but some scenes innovate by also escaping from the prerecorded.
“In the hollow of the ear”
Thus, the National Dramatic Center of Valence has launched several participative projects including a narrative chain in the mode of the “exquisite corpse”. In Montpellier, Jean Valera, director of the Printemps des Comédiens, calls those who leave their number at reception to explain the program of the festival which he can hope will take place – it takes place from May 29 to June 27 – and the team also broadcasts an interactive web radio, with serials and vignettes of memories of audience performances, mixed by director Julien Bouffier. In Paris, among other initiatives including the confinement journal of its director Wajdi Mouawad (acclaimed by 218,000 people), the National Theater on the Hill invites spectators to be contacted by telephone by an actor, actress to read him a text. “In the hollow of the ear”. You are busy ? Does the ringing run out in a vacuum? The actor, the actress repeats like any other interlocutor who seeks to reach you.
Read alsoIntermittent: “I’m afraid to renew my plan with a rotten rate”
Since March 16, they are 70 actors trying this experience with strangers, whom they do not see, whom they do not know, and the converse is more or less true. Each actor is free to choose the texts he chooses, to converse or not, to continue or not the dialogue afterwards. A duration was however advised in order not to lock the listener in an inexhaustible reading which he could not put an end to. There is no risk, except in the case of an extreme misunderstanding, that the moment will turn into compulsory listening to the entirety ofOdysseus from Joyce. And each experience differs radically depending on the participants, their apprehensions, their tastes.
“Almost immodest sensuality”
Norah Krief, for example, chose to read one or two sonnets from Shakespeare “Because they were written during a plague epidemic in London”. She prepares for each “meeting” by reading aloud the first and last names of her interlocutors – in this case often interlocutors – in order to pronounce them correctly, and finds herself dreaming through what their onomastic suggests. “Perhaps because the voice is too intimate, few men are asking for this moment. The sensuality it reveals is almost immodest. But tomorrow, I have one or a Claude among the five people I’m going to call … “ The actress generally evades her own confinement. “For the moment, I don’t want to impose my confused Parisian language before Shakespeare. This stupidly unknown period, this flow of time which overwhelms us and which we cannot manage to curb, I want to experience it through live poetic expression. “ The unexpected was that all of her interlocutors spoke of the importance of poetry in their lives. Later, Norah Krief may venture to sing on the phone, an even more intimate gesture.
In all cases, this 15 to 30 minute sharing moment raises the question of listening. Silence is its sign, the noises of a dishwasher that you empty are ominous. The audience is wise, he behaves like in the theater, never interrupts. But what can I conclude from this? Dizziness at not being able to grip the infrasensations induced by a room, the micro-movements of the public, to assess the quality of silence. Patrick Le Mauff, for this first Monday, imposed his choice – a tale of Tolstoy “So as not to feel like self-service”. To an interlocutor, who wanted to continue the experiment, he improvised a reading of a short story by Calvino. With this question: how not to rush people while forging a bond? “Of the five people called, one man offered to put the speaker on for his friend.” Nothing can imagine the space, a ray of light in the room. The voice suggests (or not) an age, the most difficult – but not the most desired – being to imagine nothing.
Read alsoCinema: distribution facing the confinement puzzle
Unlike the other actors, actress Julie Julien leaves the choice between several texts, including her own, on confinement. An address that invites you to exchange a direct and surprising intimacy with strangers. The actress gives herself up just as much by asking essential questions. She duly thought about her confinement partners, choosing people who are close enough, distant enough, who avoid her wearing a social mask. All the actors, programmed on the Hill plateau, had a show in progress, a tour, and were interrupted in their tracks. The experience allows them to meet the public in a different way, while continuing their practice. They are volunteers.
Ifema has decided, given the current context generated by COVID-19, to postpone the celebration of Mobility Car Experience (MCE), the new platform for the automotive sector and the future of mobility, initially scheduled for days 5 to 10 may.
“Given the changing situation at the global level, in the coming weeks, and once consensus has been reached with the brands, alternative dates will be defined to allow for a more favorable celebration environment, aligned with the objectives of this event in terms of offering the sector a tool to reactivate business and the general public, a space for information and knowledge that will help you decide on the type of vehicle best suited to your needs and lifestyle, “organizers said in a statement.
“In this sense,” they continue, “all efforts are being focused on continuing to prepare a single call, in which the interactive component and experiences will prevail to make known through all the novelties of the brands and the advances that promote the new mobility in a market with enormous potential such as the one that Madrid offers ».
“It should be noted that Ifema is doing a very important job making available to the local and regional governments all the resources necessary for the production of the infrastructure and services of the emergency hospital that it has built with the collaboration of its supplier companies, in order to attend to more than 5,000 affected, as well as to host 1,500 places for homeless people, in line with its commitment to society and to companies. A commitment that allows normality to be restored as soon as possible, and which contributes to reactivating the fairgrounds as an instrument and lever that helps to restore and strengthen the much-needed commercial, personal and international relations ».
We only talk about her, we believe strongly. And in this second week of general confinement, while France now has 860 dead (186 more in twenty-four hours) and more than 2,000 patients in intensive care, chloroquine is on the verge of being presented as the miracle cure against the coronavirus, and the grumpy would delay its distribution guilty as the massacre continues. Thus, all this weekend and again Monday, definitive declarations have multiplied on this molecule widely used around the world for fifty years for its antimalarial virtues, as well as for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like lupus or polyarthritis rheumatoid. The boss of LR senators, Bruno Retailleau, on Sunday urged the government not to “Fall behind” and prescribe the drug “In a hospital environment”.

“We should all be concerned because we don’t know exactly how long it will last,” said Cepeda. “At some point you don’t know when things will pile up too high.”
Cepeda has spent the past five years working on world-class Monza Karting in the resort. Cepeda’s sister is a Mohegan Sun reseller and her mother, Josefina, has worked on Foxwoods’ maintenance team for 19 years.
“As you can imagine, his routine is completely out of his mind,” said Cepeda.
Casinos are closed for two weeks. According to a spokesman for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council, all members of the Foxwoods team were fired for the two weeks. I am able to use the benefit time, with all the benefits remaining in place.
Mohegan Sun president and chief executive officer Jeff Hamilton said he had made no layoffs due to the temporary shutdown.
“This is a difficult and arduous moment in which we find ourselves, even if the top priority of our leadership is to bring all the interested team members back to a reopening, at which point we have the utmost confidence that we will return stronger than ever in providing an unparalleled experience for our guests, “wrote Hamilton in a note.
Cepeda said his family is grateful that the casinos have closed to keep everyone safe. Their jobless time so far has been filled with extra family time, enjoy each other’s company.
Cepeda and her sister applied for unemployment and also helped the mother to apply for unemployment. He fears for his colleagues who don’t have access to a computer or understand how to apply for unemployment.
“My mom is lucky because my sister and I are here,” said Cepeda. “But there are many other families, many other immigrant workers and then they come to find that they lose their jobs for an uncertain number of weeks. Some don’t even know how to sign up for unemployment. You have to do it through online.”
The Connecticut Department of Labor has received over 52,000 unemployment claims since Friday March 13, which is approximately 20 times the normal amount of claims. The DOL usually received 2,500 requests per week.
According to the DOL, they are continuing to move resources to devote more staff to processing new complaints. The governor also authorized the use of overtime for this purpose.
With more unemployed people across the state, soup kitchens are preparing to serve even more meals.
The St. Vincent de Paul Place team in Norwich made changes to make meals safer. They only serve meals in travel containers and some of their older volunteers stay at home, but don’t slow down. They are preparing for even more people in the area to need help due to an increase in the laid-off workers.
“Many of these people could come to the food pantry once a month, they just needed a little bit to get over the hump,” said Jill Corbin, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul Place Norwich. “Now that I’m without those jobs, we’ll see many more.”
St. Vincent de Paul Place is asking for more volunteers to work in the kitchen and volunteers to help prepare sandwiches. The meal center serves breakfast and lunch daily. At each meal people can also take a sandwich to go.
They are also asking for supplies including travel containers and sandwich bags. Pasta, pasta sauce and jelly are just some of the items that will help keep the pantry.
The ministry canteen normally works Monday through Saturday, however, a crowded-style meal will be served on Sunday in the parking lot of downtown Cliff Street. The meal is usually served at Lee Method United Church. Due to COVID-19 concerns, the meal could not be hosted in the church. Community and faith leaders came forward to host the community meal on St. Vincent de Paul Place instead this Sunday at 1:00 pm.
Cepeda said his family is doing well and are grateful that they don’t have to take advantage of the canteen’s services at the moment. Her family is worried about their colleagues.
“He wants everyone to know that this is serious,” said Cepeda, translating for his mother. “He hopes that he returns to normal because there are many families who depend on their complete control and now their life is completely turned upside down.”
There are currently 164 coronavirus cases in Massachusetts, state health officials shared on Sunday, and the number of residents tested went from 475 to nearly 800.
The 26 new cases were announced in a Commonwealth attempt to speed up testing for coronavirus after restrictions have been relaxed on the test protocols.
New guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requires doctors only to present a nasal swab instead of presenting previously required nasal and throat swabs. With the modification of the clinical test protocols, the state laboratory test capacity has doubled from 200 to around 400 patients per day.
Massachusetts doctors also now have greater flexibility to determine which patients should be tested without having to call DPH’s Epi Line.
With multiple clinical laboratories in the Bay State working to obtain FDA approval, health officials say that even more testing capabilities will soon be available.
As of Sunday, the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory has tested 799 patients, officials said, compared to 475 the previous day.
Forty-five of the 164 positive state cases were subsequently confirmed by the CDC.
Governor Charlie Baker is expected to provide an update on Sunday night about state testing efforts and what is being done to slow the spread of coronavirus in the Commonwealth.
Governor Baker and Governor Lieutenant Karyn Polito will join Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders and Commissioner of the Public Health Department Dr. Monica Bharel at the State House at 18:00. The Baker-Polito administration says that, contrary to popular rumors, it is not preparing a refuge in order.
Four of the 26 new cases announced on Sunday are related to the employee meeting held at a Boston hotel by Cambridge Biogen biotechnology company last month. Health officials say 108 of the 164 cases are now related to the February 24-27 meeting held at the Marriott Long Wharf hotel, which has since closed “in the interest of public health”.
In new cases, a healthcare professional is included at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. The hospital announced the case Sunday morning and said that patients and staff who may have had contact with the infected worker are being contacted.
Eight more cases are associated with travel, bringing the total to 13. Eight remain associated with a cluster in western Massachusetts and 35 of these are currently under investigation, health officials say.
Of the 164 cases in the state, 74 are women and 90 are men. Middlesex County residents still account for nearly half, 75 of the cases across the state. The counties of Norfolk and Suffolk both have 31 cases, while there are nine cases in County Berkshire. There are now six cases each in the Essex and Worcester counties.

Boston EMS urges people not to call 911 to request COVID-19 tests. People are asked to call their primary care providers, the mayor’s hotline at 617-534-5050 or the state DPH hotline at 211.
