▫️Several specialists are already recommending reconfinement after the holiday season to avoid an explosion of new Covid-19 cases. This hypothesis is not excluded, declared on Sunday the Minister of Health Olivier Véran.
▫️Are we going towards a hardening of the measures? Some figures worry the executive: The departement of the Alpes-Maritimes (06) as well as two regions Burgundy-Franche-Comté and the Grand Est are closely scrutinized by the authorities. A meeting by the so-called “Defence Council” will be held on Tuesday by videoconference on the health situation.

Original Targets for December 15th
The number of new daily cases is simply not going down
The number of new cases is low yesterday due to the fact that most labs were closed over Christmas.
It is better to look at the 7 days rolling average which is still on the increase.

🔹 It is not all doom and gloom
A firm based in Clermont-Ferrand, central France, has developed a revolutionary technology that will allow for the limitless recycling of polyethylene terephthalate, commonly known as PET, which represents more than half of all plastics used worldwide. The researchers announced the discovery of an enzyme on February 27, 2019. This year they modified it in a laboratory with the assistance of three scientific institutes (Insa Toulouse, Inrae and CNRS) to create a molecular champion of plastic absorption.
Since then, the company has built an industrial demonstrator outside Lyon that can recycle 2,000 tonnes of PET and that will be operational in 2021. The start-up firm is slated to build an enormous European plant in two years’ time with the capacity to recycle 100,000 tonnes per year and another 10 plants throughout the world by 2030.
