    Yes it’s starting to spike again! Data from ECDC for France give a cumulative number of cases of 373,911, 30,910 cumulative deaths, , 151.3 cumulative cases/100,000 within the last 14 days and 0.5 for 14 day cumulative deaths/100,000.

    In BMJ and cardiology journals there is now considerable evidence of Covid-19 causing myocarditis in addition to pulmonary disease. Open air opera as in Verona is really the only possibility at present. This paper discusses myocarditis linked to cov-19.

    I don’t understand this as I’ve watched on TV two concerts conducted by Barenboim, one in Salzburg and one in Berlin where no one wore a mask. I also watched a Verdi Requiem from La Scala where only the string players were masked.
