European justice validated on Tuesday the French law intended to regulate the rental of apartments for short periods, in a case between the city of Paris and two owners using the Airbnb platform.
This decision was eagerly awaited, because many European cities, faced, like Paris, with a housing shortage, have tried to legislate to fight against the phenomenon of tourist rentals on Airbnb.
“A national regulation subjecting to authorization the rental, in a repeated manner, of premises intended for housing for short periods to a passing clientele who do not take up residence there, complies with Union law”, estimated the Court of Justice of the EU, based in Luxembourg, in its judgment.
“The fight against the shortage of housing intended for long-term rental constitutes an overriding reason in the public interest justifying such a regulation”, she added.
The European judges had been seized in 2018 by the Court of Cassation, supreme court of the judicial order in France, several questions relating to the provisions of the construction and housing code. Previously, the Court of Cassation was itself seized by two owners of Parisian studios, fined a total of 40,000 euros for having rented their property without the prior authorization of the town hall.
The case in France is not yet over: the French judge will now have to verify that the city of Paris provides evidence of a housing shortage.
(MENAFN – Al-Borsa News) An increasing number of foreign companies are heading to reduce the level of investment in Argentina or flee completely from the country, fearing the increasing intervention policies of the left-wing government, which aim to stabilize the faltering economy.
The Financial Times reported that the Chilean retail giant Vallabela has become the latest to join the chain of companies that announced their intention to withdraw from Argentina last week, as the government moved to tighten already stringent capital controls to protect dwindling foreign exchange reserves.
Argentine President Alberto Fernandez was able to achieve a major victory by reaching a deal with private sector creditors to restructure the $ 65 billion in external debt last month, but the outbreak of the epidemic after only 3 months of assuming the reins of power has impeded his attempts to rebuild investor confidence.
“It is an exaggeration to say that there is some kind of mass migration going on, but companies are struggling with the increasing trend of interventionist policies, which may worsen with deteriorating economic conditions as well,” said Kezia McKej, director at the consulting firm McLarty Associates.
The American auto parts manufacturer Aksalta, the German and French BASF company, Saint-Gobain Securit, and the French pharmaceutical company, Pierre Fabre, were among the other companies that left Argentina recently. Latin America decided to withdraw from the country last July.
The Coronavirus crisis has dealt a blow to the Argentine economy, which remains subject to one of the strictest and longest lockdowns in the world.
However, investors and analysts insist that the escalating state intervention is the main reason that companies made decisions to move away from Argentina, which they have not done anywhere else in the region.
McKeej of McLarty Associates added that the huge challenges posed by increasingly stringent capital controls, import restrictions and price increases bans are making companies in some sectors such as consumer goods increasingly unsustainable.
In addition, an executive at a multinational company operating in the country said, “In light of everything that’s happening here right now, you can forget about foreign companies making any investments at the moment.”
Alejandro Diaz, chief executive of the American Chamber of Commerce in Argentina, said controls on currency, imports and prices are deepening concerns and raising questions about developing business plans.
The “Financial Times” reported that some are using a brave face, such as “Fly Bondi”, the first low-cost airline in Argentina, despite the departures in the aviation sector in recent months.
“If the government can create a sound and fair regulatory environment, we will continue to invest in Argentina,” said Peter Yu, managing partner of Cartesian Capital, the controlling shareholder of Fly Bondi.
Despite expectations that the Argentine economy will contract by 12.1% in 2020, the economy is also expected to record a recovery of 5.5% in 2021, but economists say that expectations of an inflation rate of 29% next year are a very optimistic assumption, especially after The country has resorted to printing money a lot in recent months.
Economists fear that the recent tightening of capital controls only delays the devaluation. In this regard, economist Luis Secco said: “They are only buying time, and this does not solve the real problem.”
« We deliver more than we collect and the reserves go down », alert the French Blood Establishment (EFS). These reached Monday morning ” the threshold of 82,000 red blood cells in reserve “, a ” level never reached for 10 years », Underlines the EFS.
At least 100,000 pockets are needed to have a level of reserve allowing to have enough blood of each blood group in all hospitals.
The situation is ” unpublished »For the EFS, which must collect 10,000 donations per day to meet the needs of patients. ” Today, the account is not there », While the resumption of hospital activity is very strong.
Call to employers
Since March, companies and universities hardly accept any more blood drives due to the impacts of the health crisis (teleworking, distance courses, health protocols, etc.), explains the EFS, specifying that mobile collection, in particular in companies, represents 80% of blood donations.
The EFS therefore asks employers to “ facilitate the blood donation of their employees “And to the local authorities of” continue to facilitate the organization of mobile collections in the territories ».
It is particularly aimed at students so that they can donate blood in mobile blood drives or in the 120 donation centers.
Appropriate health precautions
To find out where to donate, visit dondesang.efs.sante.fr or on the Blood Donation app. The lifespan of blood products like red blood cells is limited (42 days).
For the donation, all precautions are taken to avoid the risk of transmission of coronavirus (wearing a mask compulsory for all, physical distancing and reinforced hygiene).
In this context, as a precaution, people who have had symptoms of Covid must wait 28 days after their disappearance to donate blood, says the EFS.
The municipality of Soacha will have a new highly complex hospital. I know It is a level IV health center that It will have more than 240 hospital beds for specialties such as maternity, cardiology, surgery and outpatient consultation.
The work, which began in June of last year, already makes initial progress in the foundations and construction of the bases. In total, 100,000 million pesos will be allocated for its construction and is expected that in the next 30 months is finished.
The hospital will have state-of-the-art equipment, with which it will be able to stand out in the area of specialized surgery. It will be six stories high and will have a basement. In total there will be 25,451 square meters built.
It will be located in the Ciudad Verde neighborhood, between the 6th and 7th races, in front of the Mira Flores shopping center.
The project will be operated by the private company Diacor Soacha, and the Avidanti SAS organization, which, In addition to being the owner of the property where it will be built, she has nearly 27 years of experience in the health sector.
“It is a private project, but as we know, health in our country is regulated by the EPS, this means that any system that operates in the municipality It will serve us all, both the subsidized and the contributory regime”Said Juan Carlos Saldarriaga, mayor of Soacha.
The official also mentioned that they will continue to contribute to improve the municipal health system with private and public constructions that respond to the needs of the soachunos.
It should be noted that at this time, the municipality it only has a fourth level hospital, the Cardiovascular. According to the Soacha Health Secretariat, this center along with the others are still insufficient to serve the public. This is because the municipality receives patients from other parts of Cundinamarca.
Merdeka.com – The use of masks in the midst of the Covid-19 case has become an obligation. This is because masks are claimed to be able to be a barrier to catching respiratory droplets or droplets that are released when people cough, sneeze, or talk. These droplets are what carry the virus from person to person, according to Dr. Steve Pergam, MPH, infection prevention medical director at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
If the closest person inhales these droplets or droplets land in their mouth or nose, they are more likely to catch a viral infection. And if someone touches a contaminated mask and then touches their mouth or nose, they also have the potential for infection. Therefore, masks must be cleaned and sterilized regularly.
Here’s how to wash masks of various types that are commonly used again during a pandemic, so you can safely disinfect them. How to deal with medical grade masks that cannot easily be cleaned properly outside of a medical setting, cites Healthline.
Debra Goff, PharmD, FIDSA, FCCP, an infectious disease specialist and professor of pharmaceutical practice at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, said that masks fabricbandanas, scarves and neck protectors are all types of face masks that can be cleaned and reused.
For how to machine wash a cloth mask, wash your hands first. Then remove the mask, being careful not to touch the eyes, nose or mouth.
Put the mask directly in the washing machine and wash your hands immediately afterward. Goff recommends using regular detergent along with bleach and warm water recommended for this type of cloth mask.
After the mask is washed off, dry it until it is completely dry. If you plan to wash a cloth mask by hand, Goff recommends following the same procedure of washing your hands before removing the mask.
To disinfect your mask, soak it in a bleach solution containing 4 teaspoons of household bleach for every liter of water for 5 minutes. After soaking the mask, rinse thoroughly with water. Let the mask dry on its own.

How to Handle Medical Masks After Use
Kaiming Ye, PhD, professor and chair of the biomedical engineering department and director of the Center of Biomanufacturing for Regenerative Medicine at Binghamton University, State University of New York, says that certain types of masks, such as N95 and surgical masks, are designed for single masks or single-use use only. .
For most people, this means that masks have to be thrown in the trash after use. Ye said they can be reused in a professional setting if properly disinfected. For example, how to wash an N95 mask can be disinfected with germicidal UVC radiation or vapor phase hydrogen peroxide.
Ye noted, however, that no tests have been carried out on surgical mask disinfection or reuse, due to its low demand. If you can’t change the mask between uses, Goff suggests checking the mask when removing it. If the mask is dirty, torn, or wet with moisture, then you should definitely throw it away.
If they appear clean and intact, Goff recommends storing them in a clean paper bag or other breathable container between uses. Ideally, however, medical masks should not be reused after one use.

How to Clean the Face Shield After Use
Goff said how to wash face shiel masks or face shields is in a category of its own. Due to the open-side model, the face shield provides no protection from sneezing or coughing behind your back. However, they provide protection for the eyes.

To clean the face shield, first clean the inside using a clean cloth dampened with a neutral detergent solution or a cleaning cloth. Then wipe the outside with a disinfectant cloth or a clean cloth dampened with a disinfectant solution.
Follow up by wiping the outside of the face shield with clean water or alcohol to remove residue. Let the face shield dry. Lastly, wash your hands when you’re done.
A collision between a car and a train took place this Sunday shortly after 4 p.m. at the level crossing of rue du Touquet in Blandain. We do not deplore any injuries.
The driver of the Mercedes lost control of his vehicle and struck the crossing sign post. He got out of his vehicle. A French train, which was traveling in the direction Tournai-Lille Flandres, then crashed into the car. Fortunately, we do not regret any injuries.
Rail traffic was interrupted in both directions. A French coach went there to take charge of the few commuters and bring them to Lille. SNCB advises travelers heading to Lille Flandres to travel via Mouscron.
On June 30, a meeting of the operational headquarters should be held in the Perm Territory, at which the possibility of removing a number of restrictions will be discussed. Two consecutive days – June 28 and 29 – the distribution coefficient of coronavirus in Prikamye is 0.79. This is one of the important indicators of the phased lifting of restrictions – for the second stage, it should be less than 0.8.
In addition, over the past three days, 510 beds were additionally re-profiled for COVID-19 treatment in the province. The indicator “availability of free bed fund” amounted to 67.7 percent.
– Over the past two days, key indicators have been kept in the Kama region at the level of standards for moving to the second stage of lifting restrictive measures, – said Sergey Nikiforov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Perm Territory, in charge of healthcare. – This allows us to discuss the draft plan for the transition to the second stage.
At the second stage, street cafes, museums and exhibition halls, shopping centers up to 800 square meters, children’s clubs, public organizations, research institutes, playgrounds and kindergartens, including private ones, will be opened.
As a source in the operational headquarters told Komsomolskaya Pravda, the chances are high that the second stage in the Perm Territory will begin on July 1.

“No need to hide from the virus in a cocoon!” – Perm epidemiologist about the current situation
Cloving hospital on the basis of the Medical Scientific and Educational Center (ISSC) Moscow State University named after M.V.Lomonosov took the first patients on April 21 and completed his work on June 13. It turned out that it was possible to achieve the best treatment results for COVID-19 in Moscow. Over the entire period, 4 patients died, and among severe patients who got mechanical ventilation, the mortality rate was less than 14% (for comparison, the average for the city and the world was up to 70 – 80%). Eighteen doctors out of 220 employees of the hospital were infected with coronavirus, there were no deaths among the medical staff.
What approaches were used at the University Hospital of Moscow State University to achieve such results? We continue the conversation with the head. Department of Therapy, Faculty of Fundamental Medicine, Moscow State University, Head of the Department of Age-Associated Diseases, Medical Scientific and Educational Center, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Cardiologist Yana Orlova.
MEDICINE FOR COUGH FOR 80 RUBLES
– Most of those who are ill or are afraid to get sick are worried about fibrotic changes in their lungs. They say that you have developed special therapy that can reduce the risk of developing fibrosis. Is it possible?!
– Yes, we launched an appropriate clinical study. There are no final results yet, but we have developed clinical practice.
“What did you do to save the lungs?”
– We used a combination of bromhexine and spironolactone (both are long-known very cheap drugs. – Ed.). Bromhexine is an expectorant that has been prescribed to patients with pneumonia and cough for many years. At the same time, experimental data showed that this drug can block a specific enzyme and impede the penetration of coronavirus into cells. True, it was on this effect that we counted to a lesser extent in inpatients, since such an effect is important mainly in the early stages of the disease. But the expectorant effect of bromhexine really helps patients with COVID. I heard that our colleagues in Peter launched a study of bromhexine for prophylactic purposes. We will wait for the results.

FIBROSIS OBSTACLE
– The second drug – spironolactone – is traditionally widely used in cardiology for the treatment of heart failure, severe hypertension. It has a small diuretic, magnesium and potassium-preserving effect, continues Yana. Orlova. – It has several mechanisms through which it can be useful in coronavirus infection.
Firstly, a mechanism that prevents the development of fibrosis in general in the body. There are works that, in particular, show that spironolactone reduces fibrosis in the heart. At the same time, it is known that the tendency to fibrosis is not local, but systemic – where there is more inflammation, there will certainly be fibrosis. And we see, of course, fibrotic changes in the “covide” in our patients. Therefore, we prescribed spironolactone as a drug for the prevention of this process.
Secondly, this drug blocks sex hormone receptors, in particular testosterone. Some published studies suggest that “high-testosterone” men suffer from “covid” more often and develop more severe fibrotic changes. Therefore, blocking these receptors for several weeks during COVID treatment may be useful in reducing the severity of complications. We are not talking about a longer intake, since male patients are unlikely to agree with a decrease in testosterone levels in the long term.
And perhaps the most important point. In almost all of our patients, we observed hypokalemia (a decrease in potassium levels. – Ed.). With coronavirus infection, potassium is intensely excreted from the body, and scientific articles even suggest that hypokalemia serves as the trigger for a cytokine storm. So spironolactone has a real chance to reduce the risk of this dangerous complication. But the main thing, in my opinion, is that lowering the level of potassium in the body is extremely harmful to the heart and triggers life-threatening rhythm disturbances, increasing the risk of sudden death. We, like all others, replenished potassium with droppers, but it was more effective to retain it in the body with the help of spironolactone.

WHEN PRESCRIBED PATIENTS
– Yana Arturovna, how many patients did you have on average?
– About 10 – 14 days. But someone and 50 days.
– Have you noticed signs by which it can be assumed that the disease in the person brought is likely to go the hard way?
– Such studies were carried out in the world, our clinical practice confirmed them. Men certainly get worse than women; the elderly are heavier than the young; overweight people are heavier than overweight patients. Men with a classic male type of baldness, a lot of facial hair, we can say brutal men get sick harder.
– Under what conditions did you discharge patients?
– We acted as close as possible to the recommendations Ministry of Health: so that the temperature for three days was not higher than 37.5 degrees; so that C-reactive protein (an indicator of inflammation) is lower than 10 mg / l, and saturation, that is, the level of oxygen in the blood, is higher than 96%.
“HEAD OF EPIDEMIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF ITSELF WORKED AT SANPROPUSNIK”
– How often do you get sick doctors and nurses?
– In the first month no one got sick at all. We have a very powerful epidemiological service. The head of the sanitary-epidemiological department, a senior researcher, correctly organized the whole process, and for the first two weeks she personally worked in the sanitary inspection room at the exit from the “red zone” and helped doctors and nurses who were exhausted after the shift safely remove protective clothing.
Then both people’s fatigue and viral load accumulated. By the middle of the second month, sick people began to appear. There were no seriously ill patients. We treated part of the staff in our observation, part of it was treated at home. In total, 18 people were infected from the medical staff (less than 10%).
– Doctors take something for prevention? Vitamins C, D, Zinc?
– I saw the recommendations of American nutritionists, they speak out positively about taking zinc, melatonin and vitamin C. There were somewhat conflicting data on vitamin D. But we did not give any such recommendations to our employees. We have all the prevention was associated with minimizing contacts and other measures of epidemiological safety.
Physicians are the heroes of our time.“If you think that you are special and that a pandemic will not affect you, you are deeply mistaken,” listen to what the doctors who are fighting with coronavirus say
