It is not yet the second wave according to virologists but coronavirus infections fly to Europe as in the darkest months of the pandemic that has just been left behind and WHO warns: two million deaths are at risk in the world.
“We’ve lost a million people in nine months and it may be another nine months before we get the vaccine,” said emergency director Michael Ryan, answering a question at the coronavirus briefing. “Are we willing to do what is necessary to avoid that figure? The time to act is now,” he warned. “Otherwise, we will look at that number, and sadly a much higher one.” And there was also a tribute to Italy from the WHO with the recognition, posted on Twitter, that “The government and the community, at all levels, have reacted strongly and have reversed the trajectory of the epidemic with a series of measurements. based on science “.
And while the US has surpassed 7 million cases since the start of the pandemic, in the rest of Europe, more than 5 million cases in total, the virus is advancing almost everywhere. The black jersey belongs to France which, despite containment measures and partial blockades, seems to have completely lost control of the situation. There are 15,797 new cases in the 24 hours, in line with the dramatic figures of recent days, while the alarm is raised about the risk of saturation of intensive care. The epidemic is in a “rising phase,” warned the government public health agency. And while in 11 major cities, including Paris, “reinforced alert zones” were declared with bars closing at 10pm, hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Marseille to protest the closure of bars and restaurants for two weeks. Obtaining the 48-hour postponement of the wait that will begin only from Sunday night.
Fear also in Spain, where 12,272 cases were registered in 24 hours and 120 deaths, the total number of infections since the beginning of the pandemic amounts to 716,481 while the deaths are a total of 31,232. But not even the rising curve of contagion serves to calm the dispute in Spanish politics and it is an open conflict between the central government and the Community of Madrid, the epicenter of the pandemic, on the restrictive measures to adopt.
More than a million people, in the area of the capital that has 6.6 million inhabitants, is subject to the new regulations: a figure deemed insufficient by the Pedro Sánchez government. The Minister of Health, Salvador Illa, in an unprecedented gesture, said that the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso ignored the recommendations of the ministry on a total closure in Madrid.
New peak of cases in the United Kingdom since May according to daily data released by the government, which nevertheless indicate a slowdown in the increase, with 6,874 infections registered in the last 24 hours compared to 6,634 yesterday when the difference was about 500 plus. The daily death toll stands at 40 (excluding Scotland, which did not provide statistics today), while the daily tests rise to the European record at an absolute figure of more than 245,000.
But worrying signs are also appearing in those countries, like Germany, where the situation is under control: almost 50,000 children are in quarantine after the reopening of schools.
