      Covid-19: four cases found in the Amazon warehouse in Br?tigny-sur-Orge

      Many employees of the American giant denounce the absence of precautionary measures in the face of the epidemic. What the management of the group denies while confirming the number of patients.

      By Nolwenn Cosson
      On April 1, 2020 at 19:06 , as amended on April 1, 2020 at 19:19

      The American giant Amazon would it endanger its employees? This is what the CGT ensures, which has just sent a letter to the prefecture of Essonne. “We are asking for the immediate closure of the Br?tigny-sur-Orge warehouse [Editor's note: which employs 2,500 people]. A closure which will have to be maintained until the precautionary measures are put in place to protect the employees ”, indicates Ollivier Champetier, secretary general of the CGT. Response from the State services: "This type of report falls within the exclusive competence of the labor inspectorate which has also been contacted by this union".

      This Tuesday, in an internal email that we have obtained, the site management informs the employees that "three new cases [have been] tested positive for Covid 19 on the site, which brings the total to 4". One of them, in a coma, is currently hospitalized in ?tampes. "A week ago, he was still working there," says Ollivier Champetier.

      Management also writes: “These people have not been on the site for several days and all preventive security measures have been immediately taken, in accordance with the recommendations of the Regional Health Agency. In particular, we have individually informed all the people who have been in close and prolonged contact with these people, so that they can stay at home at 100% paid for a period of 14 days ”.

      Enough to calm fears? Not so sure. For several days, the CGT telephone has not stopped ringing. At the end of the line, employees who say they are worried. "There is no hydroalcoholic gel, no gloves, and even fewer masks," said the union representative. In the photos and videos we sent, we see the staff gathered together, or even clapping their hands. "

              • https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-he...-idUKKBN21M0S9
                PARIS (Reuters) - The total number of deaths from the coronavirus in France reached a new high on Saturday as the government included more previously unreported deaths in nursing homes.

                The health ministry reported 441 new deaths from COVID-19 in the country’s hospitals on Saturday - less than the high of 588 reported on Friday - for a total hospital death tally of 5,532.

                For the third day in a row, the ministry also reported the cumulative tally of deaths in nursing homes since the start of the epidemic in early March, which were previously unreported.

                This added another 2,028 deaths to the national tally for a total death toll of 7,560, an increase of 1,053 on the cumulative figure reported on Friday.

                Previously unreported, nursing home deaths now make up nearly a third of total coronavirus deaths.

                “This pandemic is totally unprecedented. It is imperative that people respect confinement, now is not the time to ease up,” health ministry director Jerome Salomon said at a daily briefing.

                Salomon said that confirmed coronavirus infections in hospitals rose by another 4,267 cases to 68,605 - up 7% but slower than Friday’s 9%.

                But he also said that the number of “confirmed or possible” cases in nursing homes rose by 20% to 21,348. Salomon did not give a breakdown between confirmed and possible cases.

                Adding hospital and nursing home cases, France has a total of 89,953 confirmed or suspected cases. Epidemiologists say the case count is hard to compare to other countries as some have more extensive testing policies than France.

                Salomon said 28,143 people were in hospital with COVID-19 infection. That number showed a net 711 more admissions compared with the previous day after 2,111 people were discharged.

                A total of 6,838 serious coronavirus cases were in intensive care units, he said. In the past 24 hours, 502 new cases were admitted to intensive care - an increase of 3% - compared with 641 the previous day and 729 on Thursday.

                “This slowdown of the increase is good news but we want a decrease. We still have more patients coming into ICUs every day which means more pressure,” he said.
                "The only security we have is our ability to adapt."

                  • 541 people have died of Covid-19 the last twenty-four hours France

                    General Director of Health, Jerome Solomon, just given the balance sheet date on the epidemic in France:
                    • 7,632 people have died in hospitals since March 1. In the last twenty-four hours, 541 additional deaths have been recorded there.
                    • The balance sheet for nursing homes and medico-social establishments could not be updated today "due to a technical problem" . The total balance in this type of establishment therefore remains 3,237 dead, as on Tuesday.
                    • In total, the death of 10,869 people following the Covid-19 has been confirmed since the start of the epidemic in France.
                    30,375 people are hospitalized for a coronavirus infection (an additional 348 people since yesterday), including 7,148 serious cases in intensive care.
                    482 people have been transferred to intensive care since the previous day.

                      • https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-he...-idUKKCN21R3A3
                        PARIS (Reuters) - The number of people in intensive care units (ICU) for coronavirus infection in France fell slightly for the first time since the start of the epidemic, but the number of people dying in nursing homes jumped by more than 50 percent over two days, health ministry data showed on Thursday.

                        But in a sign that the epidemic is still raging through French senior citizen homes, ministry data showed that the cumulative toll there jumped by 929 deaths, or 52%, to 4,166 over two days after a technical problem prevented the registration of deaths in nursing homes on Wednesday,

                        Including the deaths in hospitals, up by 412 or 5% to 8,044, the total death toll rose by 1,341 or 12% to 12,210 people, the world’s fourth-heaviest toll after Italy, Spain and the United States.

                        The ministry also reported that the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in hospitals rose by 4,286 or 5% to 86,334 while the number of confirmed, probable or possible cases in nursing homes rose by 513 or 2% to 31,415.

                        The total number of confirmed, probable or possible cases in hospitals and nursing homes - which the ministry does not report separately - increased by 4,799 or 4% to 117,749.

                        To estimate the number of coronavirus infections in nursing homes where patients show symptoms, France only tests a few residents.

                            • France Coronavirus Deaths Fall for Second Day, ICU Cases Decline

                              11 april 2020

                              France’s coronavirus-linked deaths slowed for a second day on Saturday and the number of intensive-care patients fell to the lowest in a week.

                              Coronavirus infections rose by 4,785 to 129,654, the smallest increase in three days, Director General for Health Jerome Salomon said at a briefing in Paris. Deaths since the start of the outbreak reached 13,832, an increase of 635 from the toll reported Friday.

                              “Now is not the time to end confinement,” Salomon said. “The pressure on hospitals remains very high.”

                                France (130,730 and 13,832)

                                France took 3rd place for yesterday's casualties.With 13,832 deaths, its balance sheet is already more than 4 times heavier than that of a China at the end of the epidemic and almost 5 times that of Germany today. After forgetting, in the first ten days, to count the deaths in nursing homes, France honored itself by doing a catch-up on April 2 and by counting these deaths for ten days. However, the accounts are still not fully sincere.
                                Home deaths linked to Covid-19 are still not counted and patients who visit the hospital are often sent home until their condition is "considered cause for concern". A significant number of them end up dying there because they could not be taken care of soon enough.
                                Olivier Mazerolle's testimony at 1 pm TF1 on April 11 was instructive.At worst, but rejected by a first hospital which considered that his condition was not critical, he considers that he was saved, thanks to the insistence of his attending physician at a second hospital, who finally agreed to take care of it and treat it… with chloroquine. Thanks WHO?
