#CoronaVirusDiaries

This is an attempt to digitally communicate with the world about how I see things during the #CoronaVirus outbreak.

On Episode 17 I talk in French because I speak about Belgium and I want people living in Belgium to hear me out. Why do we have in Belgium more deaths than Germany that has 8 times larger population than us? It's outrageous! Excuse my French...


Here's the text:



"Why does Belgium already have more than 2,000 victims of the Coronavirus epidemic, while Germany has fewer deaths?

Welcome to the Corona Virus Diaries, with me, Vasilis Katsardis.

With a population of 11 million, Belgium is one of the countries which has been hit the hardest by the pandemic, besides Italy and Spain.

In terms of Corona Virus deaths per capita, Belgium, with 70 deaths per million citizens, it is the country with the third highest number of deaths.

Is the large number of dead linked to the fact that Belgian do not wear masks? Or also that many elderly people live in nursing homes? Is it linked to the fact that Belgium has delayed to impose the lockdown for about a week? Or because it is not forbidden for Belgians to go out for a walk?

We also have some good news.
The number of people entering the hospital is going down, and significantly so.
Finally, the Belgian government announced a target of 50,000 tests per day.
Hopefully the government is right and we can get out of this nightmare in early May."




Et en français:


"Pourquoi la Belgique compte déjà plus de 2000 victimes de l'épidémie de Coronavirus, alors que l'Allemagne a moins de décès?

Bienvenue dans les Corona Virus Diaries je suis Vasilis Katsardis.

Avec une population de 11 millions d'habitants, la Belgique est l'un des pays les plus durement touchés par la pandémie, après l'Italie et l'Espagne.

En ce qui concerne les décès dus au coronavirus par habitant, la Belgique, avec 71 décès par million de citoyens, est le pays avec le troisième plus grand nombre de décès.

Le grand nombre de morts, est-il lié au fait de ne pas porter de masques? Ou aussi que de nombreuses personnes âgées résident dans des maisons de repos? Est-il lié au faite parce que la Belgique a prix environ une semaine pour emposer le confinement? Ou bien parce que il n'est pas interdit pour les Belges de sortir se promener?

Nous avons aussi de bonnes nouvelles
Le nombre de personnes qui entre l’hopital descend, et de manière significative.

Finalement, le gouvernement Belbe a annonce un objectif de 50 mille tests par jour.

Espérons que le gouvernement a raison et que nous pourrons sortir de ce cauchemar début mai."
