In the podcast “Minute Papillon!” », produced by the editorial staff of 20 Minutes, and which you find on Apple podcast or Spotify, we return in four episodes to the Covid-19 pandemic, four years after the first confinement in France, on March 17, 2020.
At the end of 2019, the first reports of a mysterious illness were revealed in the city of Wuhan, China. A virus of unknown origin, triggering symptoms of respiratory distress, such as pneumonia, but also uncontrollable inflammatory reactions, sometimes fatal.
Why are these figures so difficult to obtain?
This virus, later named SARS-CoV-2, caused a Covid-19 epidemic around the world, decimating the most vulnerable people. To stem the wave of contamination and relieve overwhelmed health services, President Emmanuel Macron decreed a strict six-week confinement, starting March 17, 2020.
Four years later, what are the pandemic figures? How many deaths, how many sick people? Why are these figures so difficult to obtain? In this first episode, Anissa Boumediene, “Health” journalist at 20 Minutes, looks back on the figures of this epidemic which swept the world in 2020. A disease which is still raging in 2024.
