towards an 8th wave of Covid-19 in France?

The end of the covid epidemic is coming soon if we stay vigilant and don’t let our guard down. This is the message, Wednesday, September 14, from the boss of the WHO. “Since September 6, the daily average has started to rise again. Over one week, we have gone from 16,000 positive cases per day to more than 20,000, or 25% increase. We expected it a little since since the arrival of the Omicron variant, we have a peak every three months: January, April, July and now maybe October. We’ll see.”analyzes the journalist and doctor, Damien Mascret.

According to him, “the back-to-school effect plays out”. And to explain: “The fastest growing age group is under 20.” Should we, however, continue to be vaccinated when we are a population at risk? ? “It’s more prudent to reduce his risk of serious illness and death. At least, if you are eligible for a recall, either because you are over 60 or because, whatever your age, you are a vulnerable person at risk of a serious form or simply close to a vulnerable person”explains Damien Mascret.
