The coronavirus epidemic is not really slowing down, especially since the application of a new diagnostic protocol in China. In addition, a first death was deplored in Japan and a man convinced of having the coronavirus committed suicide in India.
As the South China Morning Post explains On February 14, 2020, authorities in the Chinese province of Hubei – the center of the epidemic – declared 4,823 new cases coronavirus Covid-19 and 116 additional deaths. This increase brings the total of people infected to 64,627 in China for 1,483 deaths. Adding the cases revealed outside the country, the toll is 65,210 cases for 1,486 deaths.
The number of deaths outside of China now stands at three since a first death was deplored in Japan, an 80-year-old lady. According to the Reuters news agency, the Japanese authorities have explained that while the latter has indeed tested positive for the coronavirus, the links between the virus and her death have not yet been firmly established. Remember that, every day, Japan sees its number of cases increase due to the presence of a cruise ship off Yokohama. Carrying more than 3,000 passengers, the boat has dozens of infected people.
In France, while several people were able to come out cured after contracting the virus, others remained under observation. The Minister of Solidarity and Health spoke this morning on France Inter and said she expected that new cases could appear on the territory. “Given the severity of the Chinese epidemic, given the number of cases in Southeast Asia, it is very likely that we will have new cases (…) Even if they don't come from China, we can clearly see that there are virus circulations in different territories. We're ready."
On the occasion of the recent presence of a robot raising awareness of the coronavirus in Times Square (New York), we wondered if the population was sufficiently informed on the subject . According to Le Parisien , an Indian father of three killed himself, convinced of having contracted the coronavirus.
India has only 3 coronavirus cases , namely students who returned from Wuhan. The man who committed suicide would have previously drank videos about the coronavirus. However, the feeling of anxiety after viewing these contents was so strong that the man panicked and killed himself. And yet, the local authorities consulted his medical file and everything seemed normal.
However, it is not yet known whether the victim had a psychiatric history. Nevertheless, the State has already announced its desire to reinforce the fight against psychosis around the coronavirus. You should know that, on the Web, articles and other videos convey false information. For example, some documents explain that chicken meat can cause the disease.
