Dr G. Zagury : “6 Minutes Covid” of 13/10/2020

Live from Shanghai since January 28 th.

“Is the curve of the C + resuscitation beds going to bend?” “

Above all, maintain a Winning Morale, essential to the “Mental Health” of the Country (100% of the 1082 C + sailors of Charles de Gaulle are unharmed – & only one has spent 10 days in intensive care! – and well over 98% of C + survival in the general population…).

🚀 6 ` Minutes Flash : Objective: Contain the tide  

🇫🇷 France : dashboard

We are in an epidemic phase, and we consider this to be a “new epidemic”, which cannot be compared to the previous one, because the ecosystem has completely evolved in terms of the physical environment and preventive measures ( following new knowledge). Taking into account the probable correlation with the season (see absence of “summer outbreak” in Europe), we call it: Covid 19 – Season 2, and reset the counters to zero.

-This is the same way we differentiate winter flu epidemics from year to year. Once again the Covidminute team is pioneering (“our DNA”) in this matter, and without a doubt, from here one week, the various organizations (Ministries, Journalists, Decision-makers,…), will align themselves with our vision.

💢SSF (“French Health System”) -at national level: a tide (linear) and not a tsunami (exponential)

The 3 indisputable types of indicators (C + hospitalizations, C + resuscitation, C + deaths) are on the linear rise (see figure). The positive rate of tests (less questionable than simple C + tests) has increased from 4.5% to 9.8% in one month (doubling).

💢💢REANIMATION BEDS – at national level: the KEY to understanding

For some, the protection of vulnerable people, and the current preventive measures (“3M 1T”) will be sufficient: let’s be positive, very many lives have already been saved, thanks to this type of measures.

At the departmental level, in terms of load / capacity, some resuscitations are already saturated (Guadeloupe 135%), and some could be in turbulence (Martinique 89% – Seine Saint Denis 65% – Bouche du Rhone 64% – Paris 57% …).

Note, already in Paris, postponement of 20% of non-urgent surgical activity (cataracts, hernias, etc.) and many professionals won’t be able to go on holidays.

2 & 3/ Regional Barometer & DOM TOM

4/ Intensive Care Barometer

🇪🇺 Europe : “Barometer per country”

A North South gradient observed

Europe in terms of a single area (550M) & relatively homogeneous (demography, economy, social …), has evolved into an epidemic phase (+/- 600 deaths / day), i.e. more than the USA or Brazil (cf. next card)

⚠️ To go further

5/ “Space-Time” Table

World : “World pandemy”

Time : A 5 kinetic viral phase

Have the few key figures in mind: 5k deaths / day and +/- 300k new officially declared C + / day (beware of everything that is “test dependent” in terms of measurement and interpretation).

Space: India takes over from the Americas

⚠️To go further:

6/ Kinetic deaths for major epidemic countries

Geopathology : « viral RNA expresses The Cultural DNA of Societies »

What`s up in 🇨🇳? : China wants to remain “CovidFree” (=> only rare imported cases), before the mass vaccination of the population, probably next January.
Thus, for a lesser outbreak of fire (6 cases, probably from an imported hospital case, in the port city of Qingdao in Shandong province), a “Canadair” is called: massive screening campaign for this metropolis + / – the size of the IDF (12M) => +/- 9 million individuals tested in 5 days … another dimension

———To come up——-

Seroprevalence studies depending on the location

Italian study with% of asymptomatic cases according to age

Geopathology (“Patho-Geopolitic”): barrier actions depending on the country, vaccine update, etc.


“Live with” while protecting the most vulnerable with a “citizen” attitude

  • 3M for the general population (70%)
  • 4M for populations at risk and the most exposed (30%)
  • 4M for places at risk of exposure (case by case and common sense: visiting a church alone is not at risk, conversely, risk if a crowded place and “proximity” rituals).
