The second wave of the French epidemic threatens to arrive, hospital emergency beds are full

The French epidemic is once again in a state of “epidemic” and the first theme of the national debate has given way to a second wave of epidemic threats. The number of new coronavirus diagnoses remained high for several days, the number of hospitals treating new coronavirus patients surged to full capacity, and some hospitals in the epidemic-alerted red zone began to send patients to other regional hospitals to alleviate the predicament. Europe as a whole is facing alarms, in France confirmed breakthrough million mark, the epidemic prevention good “student” Germany’s new coronavirus infected death, also reported breakthrough 10,000 mark, plus the President of Poland as well as Belgium and other countries officials have reported positive test news, so that the European epidemic clouded.

According to an AFP report today, the resurgence of the epidemic is so strong that France has warned that it will be worse than the first wave.

The head of AP-HP, a group of public hospitals in Paris, warned yesterday that the second wave of the epidemic in France is feared to be worse than the first wave in the spring. With the rapid increase in the load on medical institutions, France has imposed a nighttime curfew (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) for six weeks in large parts of the country, affecting about 46 million people, or two-thirds of the country’s population.

Martin Hirsch, president of AP-HP, a group of public hospitals in Paris, said, “In recent months, there has been talk that there would not be a second wave of the epidemic, or if there was, that it would be small, and I can tell you that the reality is quite the opposite. According to Hirsch, “it is highly likely that the second wave will be far more severe than the first,” and Hirsch warns that the challenges ahead are not to be taken lightly.

The novel coronavirus epidemic in Europe has reached its second peak since the beginning of autumn, with France adding more than 42,000 confirmed cases in the past 24 hours yesterday, bringing the number of confirmed cases since the beginning of the epidemic to more than 1 million. French President Emmanuel Macron said that France will have to fight the virus until at least the middle of next year, and that the existing restrictions will be difficult to lift in the short term, and if the epidemic cannot be contained, the restrictions will even be increased.

The French Parliament discussed over the weekend whether to introduce new measures to prevent and contain the outbreak.
