A deconfinement under very high surveillance

by

If this Monday, May 11 is eagerly awaited by the French, for experts, it looks like a leap into the unknown. None of them can write the script for the next few weeks. In total, since 1er March, more than 26,300 people died from Covid-19 in France.

After almost two months of confinement, this return to “freedom” is taking place in a very gradual and supervised manner. Extreme caution is required, as nothing has yet been won, as illustrated by the discovery of two sources of contamination in recent days, in New Aquitaine. More than ever, the daily number of people hospitalized in intensive care will be scrutinized feverishly by the health authorities.

A still high number of patients in “shifts”

On March 17, confinement had been established to, precisely, avoid saturation of these resuscitations. With some success. Since the beginning of April, the number of Covid patients hospitalized in “shifts” has been constantly decreasing. But not as fast as what was expected by the projections of epidemiological studies and modellers.

Based on the work of the Institut Pasteur, the Scientific Council estimated on April 20 that the number of Covid patients on “shifts” could be between 1,400 and 1,900 on May 11. However, on May 9, there were still 2,812 patients in these services.

“Of the 20 beds in my department, 18 are still occupied by Covid patients. Some have been here for a month. This is a peculiarity of this virus: the patients stay on sheave longer than what we usually see “Said Doctor Khaldoun Kuteifan, head of resuscitation at Mulhouse hospital (Haut-Rhin).

A thorny situation

Another observation: the number of new Covid patients admitted to “shifts” is also declining on a regular basis, but again not as quickly as expected. On April 20, the Scientific Council estimated that on May 11, there could be between 10 to 50 new daily admissions to intensive care. Again, this is not the case since on average around 100 Covid patients continue to arrive every day.

What approach this deconfinement with a certain nervousness. The government is particularly attentive to the four regions classified red (Ile-de-France, Grand Est, Hauts-de-France and Bourgogne Franche-Comté) because their “sheave” beds are occupied 80% by Covid patients. In these areas, the deconfinement will be done without the opening of parks, gardens or the return of middle school students to class. In fact, a resumption of the epidemic, even a moderate one, could quickly enough provoke a saturation in hospitals which is difficult to manage for carers exhausted by the first wave of the epidemic.

In the green areas, the situation also remains difficult. In recent days, two homes have been identified in departments classified in green, in the Dordogne, following funerals in late April and in Vienna, in a college preparing for the resumption of schooling. If these situations seem to be under control, they illustrate the magnitude of the challenge.

“Above all, it should not be that in the minds of some people, this deconfinement leads to a relaxation”, entrusted the director of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine regional health agency, Michel Laforcade, the health authorities calling for “Citizen responsibility to ensure the strictest respect for barrier gestures”.

“Follow the dynamics of the epidemic in a much more reactive way”

The whole challenge of deconfinement, throughout the country, will therefore be to follow the dynamics of the epidemic. To achieve this, Public Health France will continue to monitor its usual benchmarks (emergency visits, emergency room visits, etc.) but will also develop new indicators based on screening, which must now be done on a large scale for anyone with symptoms.

” This will make it possible to follow the dynamics of the epidemic in a much more reactive way “Underlines Pierre-Yves Boëlle, professor of epidemiology at Paris-Sorbonne University. ” The percentage of positive tests will be a very interesting criterion because it also takes into account the number of tests carried out. In one territory, if we see that the percentage of positive tests increases in symptomatic people, this will mean that the epidemic has probably started to increase again “Says Lulla Opatowski, researcher in epidemiological modeling at the Institut Pasteur and at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin.

Elsewhere in the world, careful deconfinement

Several European countries including Italy, Greece, the Czech Republic and Denmark have started more or less rapid deconfinement measures in recent days. Half of Spaniards find freedom of movement on Monday, May 11, a measure that does not concern Madrid or Barcelona, ​​the two cities most affected by the pandemic.

In northern Germany, the first cafes and restaurants were able to reopen on Saturday May 9 after weeks of forced breaks. But a canton of Rhineland had to reintroduce measures of containment Friday May 8 vis-a-vis a number of contaminations started up again.

China noted, Sunday, May 10, the level of epidemiological risk in a district of Wuhan, after the discovery of a case of Covid-19. It is the first case in the city, the cradle of the pandemic, in more than a month.

In Seoul, the capital of South Korea, the municipality has ordered the closing of bars and nightclubs in the capital due to the appearance of a new home.

Although the pandemic is not contained, Pakistan, the fifth most populous country in the world, eased its restrictions by reopening its markets on Saturday, May 9, where thousands of customers have rushed.

Back to school in China under very high security

If China seems to have curbed the epidemic of coronavirus which would have left nearly 5,000 dead and nearly 100,000 cases, the authorities want life to start again, while fearing a second wave of contaminations with so-called “imported” cases, mostly Chinese returning home.

A different back to school period by province

“However, there is no national school year, says Zhe Kun, 40-year-old professor in Hangzhou, each city decides independently according to the local situation “. In fact, the 22 provinces of China (the size of each is equivalent to a European country) manage school returns differently. The Qinhai and the Gansu, largely spared the virus, resumed classes in early March in primary schools, colleges and high schools.

“In my province of Guangdong (neighboring Hong Kong, editor’s note), the start of the school year will not start until May 11, after the Golden Week holidays, the first week of May”, testifies Claire Zhen, salesperson in Dongguan. “My 10 year old son has been cloistered for months, she continues. He has a lot of online courses, but I feel like I’m going to go crazy if school doesn’t resume very quickly. This confinement is a test for children but also for parents ”.

“Parents are going to go crazy”

In the great province of Sichuan (90 million inhabitants), some colleges have been open for a month but “The colleges and high schools of the capital Chengdu will only open in a big week”says a young mother who returned to her office three weeks ago. “My 2 and 3 year old sons cannot go back to the kindergarten, which is still closed, and I no longer have them. It’s hard for them, boys are more turbulent than girls… all parents will go crazy! “ she breathes, visibly exhausted, while her husband works in Dubai.

“The universities remain closed here, says a professor of sociology at Sichuan University, and many students are confined to their dorms “

The “Gaokao”, the Chinese ferry, is the priority

In Hangzhou (Zhejiang province), Beijing and Shanghai, only the final year students are back to prepare for their “Gaokao”, equivalent of the baccalaureate in France. This exam is the most important of the Chinese education, it allows to enter the best universities in the country, which guarantees a good job.

This long absence due to confinement adds stress to the students but especially to the parents who want to ensure a good future for their children. This year, however, the gaokao exam dates have been postponed to early July, a month later than usual.

In Wuhan, (Hubei province) epicenter of the epidemic (50 33 cases out of 82 827 in total and nearly 5000 dead), municipal authorities announced Monday April 27 that the last patient with coronavirus, a man of 77, on behalf of Ding, had been released from hospital the day before.

“It is a real success”, said the Wuhan Health Commission. Health Minister Ma Xiaowei, however, recalled in an intervention on national television CCTV that “Many healed people will still need medical attention and special monitoring”.

by

Pete Lau, director of OnePlus continues to share information on the next OnePlus 8.

High Season prepares an edition of the festival that “reflects the situation” of sanitary crisis

by

The Temporda Alta performing arts festival anticipates that the 2020 edition will “reflect the situation” of a health crisis that lives the country. Its director, Salvador Sunyer, has assured that “there will surely be references” to the virus and the confinement that is living much of the world. Besides, Sunyer has warned that covid-19 will be invoicing the programming. Although they already had a large number of international shows closed, the uncertainty of the mobility and the restrictions that each country will have makes it impossible to determine which companies will come and which ones will not. In addition, the director has said that there will be “more presence in the country” with productions that have not been able to tour, and the programming will be closed “on the fly.”

Coronavirus is affecting many levels and this will have an impact on economics and society, in the first level. And part of that impact will eventually be transferred to the cultural world. One of the examples will be the programming of the Temporada Alta Festival, which is held in different municipalities in the Girona region. Its director, Salvador Sunyer, has warned this fall that it will be “a festival similar to previous editions”, but that the programming will be adapted “more to the circumstances than to the will”.

In fact, Salavador Sunyer has advanced that the High Season this fall will “reflect the situation” that the country is experiencing and also the rest of the world these days. The director assured that “most of the shows there” may not be reflected directly, but there are sure to be references “.

The pandemic is affecting the organization of the festival at different levels. First, the director warned that “the budget will be reduced” because of lower donations from sponsors.

Festival organizers had “a part” of international programming closed, which they now want to keep. However, the uncertainty of mobility restrictions and the health situation prevent us from predicting which shows will be held and which will not. Sunyer said that these days, when they book flights from the companies that are coming, lairlines “warn they don’t know if planes can take off”. This makes it difficult to secure productions that will remain in the fall.

In addition, the director has said that there will be “more presence in the country” with some of the theater companies that have not been able to tour this month. The director assured that those productions that had canceled their premieres could have a place at the festival. “We will program what we can and what we think is OK,” added Salvador Sunyer.

A program “on the fly”

In the face of all these uncertainties, the director of the performing arts festival has regretted that the programming will be closing “on the go”. Salvador Sunyer He stated that his intention was “for the theater to be done and for the music to be done” and from that point on, “whatever would be done would be adapted”.

Regarding possible audience restrictions, Sunyer hopes that by the fall all facilities will be open with all available locations, but he also does not put his hand on the fire. “Everyone was convinced that the stage programming for May and June could be done and that would not be the case,” concluded the festival director.
