"The epidemic is ending." The verdict is final, and argued. This Tuesday, May 12, in a video intervention on YouTube, Professor Didier Raoult, infectiologist and professor of microbiology, delivered his last analysis of the epidemic of new coronavirus. "Nowhere is there a second wave, or a camel's back , it's the common curve," said Didier Raoult .
"There will be a few sporadic cases that will appear here or there , possibly if there is someone super contagious, there will be a few cases around him, according to the infectious disease specialist . But that no longer reflects an epidemic dynamic . epidemic is ending. "
"Everywhere, things are stopping, explains the infectious disease specialist, whether it is detected cases, hospitalized cases, hospitalized cases in intensive care ..., estimated Professor Raoult. The dead, it will be longer because unfortunately there will be a few dead who are currently in intensive care who will appear. But we can see that this episode is being resolved . "

Q: So, the whole sort of rationale for introducing these lockdowns across Europe, that has created such unbelievable side-effects and pretty much stopped the whole world in its tracks, you believe is a misguided policy. And do you think it’s doing more harm than good?
A: Yes, I think so, on the whole. Although I mean if you listen – what I’m saying is that people who will die a few months later are dying now, and that’s taking months from their lives, so that’s maybe not nice. But comparing that to the effects of the lockdown which may be – I mean, what am I most afraid of? It’s the dictatorial trends in Eastern Europe. That Orban is now dictator for Hungary, forever. There’s no finishing date. I think the same is popping up in other countries. It may pop up in more established democracies as well. I think the ramifications can be huge from this, we don’t even start seeing them.
