Conseils de lecture sur la Covid-19 - Partie 3
Alors qu’une première vague de l’épidémie de Covid-19 est en fin de course en Europe et qu’elle poursuit une trajectoire ascendante dans de nombreuses régions du monde, nous proposons une troisième liste de lecture. Elle constitue un bilan d’étape de l’état des connaissances (origine, circulation, transmission et manifestations du virus), des conséquences sociales de l’épidémie, et de l’état du débat scientifique. Comme les deux premières, cette sélection rassemble des articles en français et en anglais, issus de la presse généraliste ou scientifique, ainsi que des contributions issues des sciences sociales.

Should Médecins Sans Frontières join the fight against global warming?
Following an article co-written by members of the Swiss and Canadian sections of MSF, Fabrice Weissman presents a critical analysis of the arguments put forward by his colleagues. An analysis that could be useful to the entire movement, and to the humanitarian community as a whole.
