1/4 - “Concernant le coronavirus responsable du #COVID19, malgré plus de 635 millions de cas rapportés dans le monde à ce jour, il reste très exceptionnel que d’autres modes de transmission que la seule voie aérosol soit invoquée.”
atlantico.fr/article/decryp…
2/4 - “Porter un masque n’est pas très plaisant, c’est vrai, mais on peut s’étonner que face aux risques de #COVID19 qui sont loin d’avoir disparu, et d’autres viroses, on ne voie pas davantage de personnes porter le masque en lieux clos souvent bondés, insuffisamment ventilés.”
3/4 - “Il serait utile que l’on se penche sur la fabrication de masques en tissus aux normes élevées de filtration (type #FFP2), des masques lavables, plus confortables, esthétiquement plus plaisants, et moins onéreux et de moindre empreinte écologique que les masques jetables.”
4/4 - “Si nous voulons éliminer le #COVID19, nous ne pourrons pas faire l’économie de travaux d’assainissement d’envergure similaires à ceux de l’eau, concernant désormais la qualité de l’air intérieur, pour les lieux clos recevant du public incluant les transports publics.”

1/5 - Avec la grève des biologistes en France, les prévisions du #COVID19, même à 7 jours, sont vaines.
Cette grève, dans ce pays riche, centralisé, doté d’instituts de statistiques et de recherche de grande qualité, dévoile avec surprise, une veille sanitaire de piètre qualité. Image
2/5 - La France ne s’est pas dotée d’un échantillon représentatif de sa population sondé chaque semaine pour le #SARSCoV2 comme le font les Britanniques.

3/5 - La France n’a pas équipé 1500 stations d’épuration d’une surveillance virologique, avec un échantillonnage quotidien, comme le font les Néerlandais qui disposent de 350 stations pour 17,8 millions d’habitants.

1/8 - “More outbreaks of infectious disease are inevitable. But it is possible to stop many of them turning into pandemics. The past 20 years of outbreaks — #COVID19, Zika, Ebola, A/H1N1, MERS and SARS — can teach us how to improve global health security.”

2/8 - “Monitor zoonoses:
The biggest risk comes from pathogens that circulate in animals making the jump into humans. It is crucial to identify hotspots where humans and animals come into contact and take steps to reduce risk.”
3/8 - “Sequence globally
It is crucial that we quickly obtain and share the genetic sequences of viruses as they emerge. If a virus emerges in a country without the ability to sequence it then it could spread silently for weeks, as happened when Ebola surged in Guinea in 2014.”

1/4 - “Bangladesh’s GDP per capita was 12% lower due to global warming than it would have been otherwise in the two decades preceding 2010, according to the study published Monday.”

2/4 - “The effect is more dramatic elsewhere, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries including Sudan, Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven GDP per capita more than 20% lower that it would have been absent climate change.”
3/4 - “Higher temperatures affect economic output in a variety of ways. For example, labor productivity decreases with extreme heat, crops produce lower yields and cognitive functioning declines.”

1/4 - Le dérèglement climatique est une crise sociale, morale et politique tant au niveau national (dans chaque État) que mondial. Le principal déterminant du dérèglement climatique pourrait bien être la richesse, notre richesse.
2/4 - Les pays les + riches sont les + grands émetteurs de gaz à effets de serre.
Les personnes les + riches sont elles-mêmes les + émettrices.
Et ceux qui subissent le plus les conséquences du changement climatique, sont les plus pauvres des pays les plus pauvres de la planète.
3/4 - Face à cette profonde injustice, il y a trois options:
1. Pratiquer la politique de l’autruche, c’est-à-dire mettre la tête dans le sable;
2. Instituer une taxe modeste aux 1% les + riches et aux pays les + émetteurs;
3. Réduire l’empreinte carbone des + riches par la loi.

1/4 - “Flying, driving large, expensive cars, owning multiple homes and travelling between them, eating a diet rich in meat and imports, buying more clothes and imported luxury goods are all reasons for the richest generating far higher carbon footprints.”
theguardian.com/environment/20…
2/4 - “ Poorer people tend to stay closer to home in small houses and use public transport, while their expenditure on luxuries and items such as “fast fashion” is much smaller.”
3/4 - “The actions taken by most people, such as turning off lights to save energy, would make no difference if the government doesn’t address the fact it’s the rich who are disproportionately responsible for the climate crisis”.

1/6 - “Angry residents in the Tibetan regional capital of Lhasa took to the streets on Wednesday to protest the harsh #COVID19 lockdown that Chinese authorities have imposed on them for more than two months, Radio Free Asia has learned.
rfa.org/english/news/t…
2/6 - “They were the first protests in the city since the 2008 Tibetan Uprising, a series of demonstrations against the Chinese government’s treatment of the ethnic minority group. Chinese police and military forces crushed that uprising, killing dozens.”
3/6 - “Sources informed RFA that the protesters warned Chinese officials that they would "set off a fire" if they refused to lift Covid lockdown restrictions, enacted under Beijing’s #ZeroCovid. They might have alluded to self-immolations, >150 of which have happened since 2009.”
