Potential Classification of Paris as a High-Risk Coronavirus Zone
Gettin' Down with the Delta: Paris and Madrid on the Rise
Looks like the coronavirus has Paris in its crosshairs, babes! French Health Minister Olivier Véran dropped the bombshell that the city could be declared a high-risk zone as early as October 5th, according to euronews.com.
With over 250 infected cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Paris and its suburbs, it's no surprise that 30-35% of those infected are battling the beast in ICUs. And it ain't just Paris – nationwide, 13,970 new cases were reported in a day's span, with 63 casualties.
Véran spilled the tea and warned, "Paris and its surrounding cities have blown past the control thresholds in a single day. We've got some Intensive Care Unit (ICU) drama to deal with in the coming days to either prove these numbers wrong or to confirm them. If they hold up, we're looking at declaring Paris and its suburbs as special risk zones, and that ain't no picnic."
Meanwhile, Italy's had a COVID-19 comeback with over 2,000 new cases in a day, with 2,548 infections. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte's proposal? Keep the state of emergency!"til the end of January to tackle this pandemic with all the vigor of a Russian bear."
Madrid's regional government, though, ain't takin' Conte's new restrictions lying down. Regional President Isabel Díaz Ayuso fired back, "We're not rebels or separatists, but we'll take legal action against Madrid's new restrictions because we ain't rollin' with any unfair measures, and we'll fight tooth and nail for the people of Madrid."
The Spanish government's proposal? Strict isolation for cities where the infection rate exceeds 500 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over the past 14 days. The plan includes entry and exit restrictions, as well as other measures to contain the virus. The conservative authorities of the Madrid region, however, ain't havin' it.
