France, fear of the second wave.  Scientific Comittee:

The situation linked to Covid in France continues to keep the population in suspense. While infections are on the rise, to raise another alarm is the president of the French scientific committee, Jean-Francois Delfraissy, to the microphones of RTL: «This virus represents a difficult challenge. We have acquired information, but we don’t know everything, so this second wave could be even worse than the first. The impact on the health service and on the resuscitation rooms will be immediate and will take place over the next three weeks. So a reference to the numbers: “Currently we have more than 50 thousand cases a day, but at this rate we will approach one hundred thousand.”

The president then focuses on an additional difficulty: “Our fellow citizens are not yet aware of what lies ahead. I can understand that, it is something difficult to accept. Now we need to have a global vision, not only French, but European. In fact, the wave is overwhelming everyone and it is an extraordinary event in the negative sense of the term.

The situation would be similar to that found in March, as confirmed by Aurélien Rousseau, director general of the Regional Health Agency IIe de France, the district headed by Paris: “We are witnessing a very rapid acceleration of infections and the entry into resuscitation” . The alternatives, therefore, for Delfraissy are two, although the last word always lies with politics: «More massive curfew – by time and geographic extension in the national territory – or a” less harsh “confinement, according to the Irish model ». However, there is one point that we cannot ignore: “Schools will remain open.”

France, economists alarm

A total blockade would cause not only a “10% recession” in 2020 but also a “collapse of the French economy”: said the president of Medef, the Confindustria d’Oltralpe, Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, interviewed this morning by radio RMC. “If it is going to be totally redefined as in March, we would go towards the collapse of the French economy, we run the risk of never recovering,” he warned, adding that the hypothesis of total confinement – currently excluded – “would be something very difficult.” Although “the markets are incredibly resilient,” he said.
