News is going fast, very fast. But what if we landed? What if you stayed? Because it's you, because it's us, because between you and us, you know, it's serious, here is our weekly selection of articles that give you food for thought.
1. As we make our bed we treat
At the time of deconfinement, we are already drawing the first results of patient care. At the heart of this issue, which has become political, is the number of beds in intensive care units. If the executive intends to return to the initial number of 5,000 beds, some doctors argue for a lasting increase in this figure.
2. Hide this nose from me
Wearing a mask is good. But you still have to wear it correctly. Because otherwise, apart from keeping warm and possibly hiding from the world the piece of salad stuck between your teeth, it is absolutely useless. So for those dissipated from the bottom of the class, small summary of good practices.
3. Barely open, already closed
Bretons again deprived of beach. The total relaxation of the population from the first weekend of reopening convinced several mayors of Morbihan to ask the prefecture to close the beaches for the Ascension Bridge. Objective, to avoid the spread of the virus, but also to save the summer season.
4. The urbanism virus
Epidemics have partly shaped cities. Will it be the same for Paris with the Covid-19? If the city will not empty its residents a priori, this crisis is an opportunity to rethink its development to promote neighborhood life, walking and rethink the place given to nature.
5. At war with hunger
To the health crisis was added a food crisis. Many precarious workers, families, students or retirees no longer have enough money to feed themselves. Opposite, associations are struggling to carry out a "social war action" in the face of hunger. Our journalist Guillaume Novello went to a food parcel distribution in Bobigny.
6. Is overweight suspended?
In France, 80% of people in intensive care because of the Covid-19 are overweight. However, obesity is not or hardly mentioned among the dysfunctions to be repaired in the next world. However, there should be a real prevention policy that takes care of psychosocial factors and the management of this disease.
7. State sponsorship
To cope with the crisis, many personalities are calling for a " New Culture Deal ". If the policy pursued by Roosevelt after the crash of 1929 is known for major public works, it also consisted in supporting artists in need. And it worked! On the one hand, offering the country a surge of artistic creativity and, on the other hand, allowing all Americans to have access to culture, in all its forms.
8. OMF: the power of the bullshit
