Les crises d’asthme sont le plus souvent de courte durée, variables et réversibles, contrairement à l’insuffisance respiratoire liée à la Covid-19 qui est de plus longue durée.

2020 January 28, “Comprendre la Covid-19 [Understanding COVID-19]”, in Gouvernement:

Asthma attacks are most often of short duration, variable and reversible, unlike respiratory failure linked to COVID-19, which is of longer duration.

Ces deux variants sont particulièrement surveillés car, outre qu’ils semblent être plus contagieux, comme celui qui a émergé au Royaume-Uni, ils pourraient également être « moins sensibles à certains vaccins disponibles » et « échapper aux anticorps fabriqués » par les personnes guéries du Covid-19, a souligné Olivier Véran.

2021 February 11, “Le point sur l’épidémie de Covid-19 en France: le variant britannique représente un quart des infections [Update on the COVID-19 epidemic in France: British variant represents a quarter of infections]”, in Le Monde:

These two variants bear special surveilance because, in addition to appearing to be more contagious, like the one that has emerged in the UK, they may also be "less sensitive to available vaccines" and to "slip past existing antibodies" of those who have recovered from COVID-19, according to Olivier Véran.

Coronavirus Covid-19

2019 December 19, “Nouveau Coronavirus (Maladie: COVID-19, Virus: SARS-CoV-2)”, in sciensano:

Les données concernant l’utilisation des vaccins contre la Covid-19 en population particulière sont très peu nombreuses.

2021 February 5, “Mise en place d'un suivis des populations particulières”, in Covireivac:

There is little current data on the use of vaccines against COVID-19 within specific populations.

Will the app Stop Covid go online May 11th? In any case, that is what the government wants.

Le centre hospitalier de Saintonge a concrétisé ce lundi la première vague de vaccination contre le Covid. Priorité au personnel de santé et aux 1 200 résidents de maisons de retraite.

2021 January 5, Phillipe Ménard, “Covid-19 : en Charente-Maritime, l’acte I de la vaccination [COVID-19: Act I of vaccination in Charente-Maritime]”, in Sud Ouest:

The Saintonge hospital center began the first wave of vaccinations against Covid on Monday. Priority is given to healthcare workers and the 1,200 residents of retirement homes.

Oui, et 80 000 en sont mortes, d’autres en ont réchappé parfois après quelques semaines sous respirateur (heureusement on arrive souvent à l’éviter), et beaucoup sont restées malades des formes prolongées, le fameux Covid long.

2021 February 11, Négocions (user name), “(comment) Coronavirus : près de 3,4 millions de malades et 80 443 morts en France, après les 296 du jour [Coronavirus: Nearly 3.4 million sick and 80,443 dead in France, after today’s 296]”, in Midi Libre:
