  • Further Evidence of a Possible Correlation Between the Severity of Covid-19 and BCG Immunization

It is made available under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license . Further Evidence of a Possible Correlation Between the Severity of Covid-19 and BCG Immunization Serge Dolgikh1[0000-0001-5929-8954] Abstract. In this work we observe a number of cases supporting the possible correlation between the administration of BCG tuberculosis vaccine and the se- verity of Covid-19 effects in the population proposed in the earlier works [1]. Based on the early preliminary analysis of the publicly available data we propose a number of arguments and observations providing further support for the corre- lation hypothesis and make an observation that the effectiveness of the protection effect of BCG immunization, if confirmed, may depend to a significant extent on the age of administration, with the early age inoculation more effective for the lasting protection. Keywords: Infectious epidemiology, Covid-19 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose A significant variation in the patterns of onset of Covid-19 epidemics across jurisdic- tions has been noticed previously. Quite pronounced is the difference between the “av- alanche” scenario seen in Italy, Spain, France and USA on one hand, and the “mild” one (Taiwan, Germany, many East European jurisdictions and others) on the other. While multiple factors certainly play role in these variations, some can be more influ- ential on the overall dynamics of the impacts of the epidemics.

  • 12 Big Names from World Cinema in Conversation with Marrakech Audiences
    The 18th edition of the Marrakech International Film Festival runs from 29 November to 7 December 2019 12 BIG NAMES FROM WORLD CINEMA IN CONVERSATION WITH MARRAKECH AUDIENCES Rabat, 14 November 2019. The “Conversation with” section is one of the highlights of the Marrakech International Film Festival and returns during the 18th edition for some fascinating exchanges with some of those who create the magic of cinema around the world. As its name suggests, “Conversation with” is a forum for free-flowing discussion with some of the great names in international filmmaking. These sessions are free and open to all: industry professionals, journalists, and the general public. During last year’s festival, the launch of this new section was a huge hit with Moroccan and internatiojnal film lovers. More than 3,000 people attended seven conversations with some legendary names of the big screen, offering some intense moments with artists, who generously shared their vision and their cinematic techniques and delivered some dazzling demonstrations and fascinating anecdotes to an audience of cinephiles. After the success of the previous edition, the Festival is recreating the experience and expanding from seven to 11 conversations at this year’s event. Once again, some of the biggest names in international filmmaking have confirmed their participation at this major FIFM event. They include US director, actor, producer, and all-around legend Robert Redford, along with Academy Award-winning French actor Marion Cotillard. Multi-award-winning Palestinian director Elia Suleiman will also be in attendance, along with independent British producer Jeremy Thomas (The Last Emperor, Only Lovers Left Alive) and celebrated US actor Harvey Keitel, star of some of the biggest hits in cinema history including Thelma and Louise, The Piano, and Pulp Fiction.
