French scientific committee: the British variant of the virus in three weeks can turn the situation upside down will be comparable to the second pandemic

On the evening of Jan. 24, the president of the French Science Council, Delphoracy, used flexible language to make all parties, including the government, understand that if France is still immersed in a “short-lived illusion of safety,” it will not be long before a variant of the new British coronavirus will trigger a scenario comparable to a second pandemic.

The spring break for French schools will begin on Feb. 6, and Delphosy said that since the British variant of the virus, at its current rate, will occupy about 15 percent of the Paris region within a few weeks, or will reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine by 40 percent, the South African variant already accounts for about 1 percent of all France, and the Brazilian variant is knocking on France’s door through French Guiana and Portugal, it is recommended that students in different school districts across the country take a collective holiday at the same Time, with the break extended by a week to form a “grounding-like form” to reduce the spread of the virus in schools.

Delphoracy politely pointed out the need for a third ban, but also made it clear that the decision rests with the government and that “even if there is a third ban, the result will be the same as before, the defeat of humanity over the virus,” but “not a failure at the policy level.

The French government is currently under great pressure to seal or not, and although Delphosy takes care of the government, his assessment of the severity of the Epidemic in France is not ambiguous: “If nothing continues to be done, France will be in a very difficult situation by mid-March” and “the virus variants, within three weeks, can overturn the existing situation”. He also noted that by mid-April, only 6 to 8 million French people will have been vaccinated, instead of 9 million by the end of March and 20 million by the end of April, as previously stated by the Ministry of health. Del Forêt said the epidemic could be contained by then as temperatures warm up, but the previous three months will still be spent pressing the spread of the virus while making slight modifications to the vaccine to deal with the outbreak.
