Today is considered to be the "peak" for the virus in France, after that we'll start to have less contagions.
The lockdown seems efficient.
Good news: my strength is back! No more symptoms. Anxiety is gone. Sun is shining. Life is great.
Thanks everybody for your kind messages. I hope you are/will be alright, good luck to those being badly affected by events. I sincerely hope that the situation in the world will improve soon. Take care, stay healthy!
You're probably right.I think what they probably mean is the peak of the cases during the lockdown. With the lockdown in place, the infection rate slows, but it takes a while for all the previously infected cases and their close contacts to manifest, so you get a peak, and then a dip. The trouble is, once the lockdown ends, the epidemic is very likely to continue until the majority of the population has been infected, or a vaccine is deployed. Both of which are likely to take a long time.
You're probably right.
Shit…
That's wrong.
COVID-19 dies fast on 40+°C. Dunno how it responds to low temps but if spring in northern part of the planet gets superwarm (thanks to global pollution), COVID is goner there.
There is a secondary reason why it's wrong and that's postlockdown time. Once an area is confirmed "clean" of virus, it still needs at least 14 days of disallowed travels outside. Travels that were for sakes of: just because. The very reason COVID is spreading is idiotic behavior of certain percentage of people who deliberately accepted to get infected then carry the virus all around the planet.
The problem is, confirming an area as clean would require testing the whole
population at once, which is not really a feasible project.
To add to the "dies at 40+°C" thingy: It sure does, after a while. That's why we develop a fever afterall. Problem is, until we get there, our body is nice and cosy for the virus. :/
Anyways, it might still decrease the spread a bit. So the weather may actually help to reduce the load on the health systems for a while.
Joxer is right, don't go to work even if your boss want you to, save your life (and your familly's).
Worrying about money is for later, for the living.

The risk depends heavily on your age group. I for example belong in the 40-49 group where the risk of death is 1:1000-2000. But the chance of me requiring intensive care is actually larger.If I don't go to work I can't pay my bills. I'm not going to make myself homeless for <3% risk.
