Covid does not give up. And it is becoming more and more scary: the last day in Italy caused the loss of life of more than 600 people. With schools also appearing among the safest public places, as our Minister of Education Lucía Azzolina continues to say, but they are certainly not free from the dreaded virus.
In Germany, many are in quarantine
Only in GermanyBild said, reporting data from the federal teachers association, there are 300,000 students (out of 11 million) and 30,000 teachers (out of 800,000 teachers) all in quarantine and placed in 40,000 schools.
German experts call it “confinement-salami”, because it affects important parts of the school world, in a country that has chosen to keep students in the classroom (with face-to-face lessons) as long as possible, so as not to penalize children’s development and youth due to the pandemic.
The news comes as a result of the statements of the federal Minister of Education, Anja Karlikzek, who spoke in favor of the use of masks in the classroom, even in primary school: a measure that is still highly debated, which according to a survey would favorable. almost half of the Germans.
Meanwhile, according to Health Minister Jens Spahn, infections continue to increase, but “with less force”, although to speak of a reversal of the trend, we must have confirmation.

Also in Spain the situation is serious: more than 6,200 classrooms are in quarantine, 27 schools are even closed. And after the illusion of summer, with the second wave the threshold of 40,000 deaths was exceeded. Also in Britain exceeded 50,000 deaths, with almost 600 in the last day.

In Japan a lot of rigor, but …
But the darkest news comes perhaps from Japan, where there is talk of the arrival of a third wave of Covid. A country where, among other things, the obligation to wear a mask outside the home was decisive to contain the figures of the consequences of Covid, with less than 2,000 deaths and 111,000 positives.
Hope is in the vaccine
The hope is that the already announced coronavirus vaccine will arrive as soon as possible, perhaps already with the first months of the new year: before hospitals have to make a decision, due to lack of free places, on which to hospitalize to infected patients. intensive care.
