THE ESSENTIAL

  • Even in time of confinement, everything is slower, the weekend of May 1: including the balance sheet. Fewer deaths in France yesterday (166) but also fewer resuscitation trips (51 places released). The trend remains positive, however.
  • While in France it will be necessary to wait at least Monday, May 11, as of tomorrow a large part of our European neighbors begins to seriously loosen the noose of confinement, as in Spain and Italy, the two countries most affected.
  • Worldwide, 243,000 people have officially died from Covid-19. This May 3 should be the day when the milestone of 3.5 million cases should be crossed.

8:37 a.m .: Towards municipal elections in early fall?

That's what Le Journal du dimanche says this morning. Until now, it was a question of making a second round in the almost 5,000 municipalities where it was necessary. But the scientific opinion promises to be negative. So the government is working on a new ballot, with two rounds for these 5,000 municipalities, in late September and early October.

We learn in the @jdd that the municipal elections could be on September 27 and October 4. A bill retaining these dates has been sent to the Council of State. Nevertheless it is the opinion of the scientific council of May 23 which will decide and it should be unfavorable. pic.twitter.com/KFZdUhXctR

We are facing a disaster, a barbarity, "said the city councilor Arthur Virgilio Neto on Twitter, in a video in English addressed to the famous teenage girl.

The state of Amazonas, of which Manaus is the capital, on Saturday exceeded 500 deaths due to the Covid-19, including many members of indigenous peoples. Hospitals are sorely lacking in equipment and some resort to refrigerated containers where corpses are piled up.
