While doubts began to express themselves on the management of the health crisis, the Prime Minister, Jean Castex, presented on Thursday a schedule of relief relief. A message of hope at three months of the presidential.

Long, there was fear. That of falling seriously ill, to die or lose a loved one. Fight against CIVID-19 justified the use of a warrior vocabulary and the use of sanitary weapons, contempt, often, individual freedoms. Solidarity primait. We had to win the battle. At all costs and “whatever it costs”. Emmanuel Macron, erected in chief of war, was the protector of the French health but also the savior of the economy. After failed and false departures, the public opinion had ended up knowingly.
Two years after the irruption of the pandemic, the wind could turn. The management of the sanitary crisis, so far favorable to the head of state, ends up weighing on the morale of the French and offers, three months of the presidential election, the angles of attack for the opposition. The President of the Republic, who promised to “emmerder the non-vaccinated” by imposing the vaccination pass, does not it too much? And too late? Sanitary protocols in schools, imposing multiple tests, justified? The executive had to take back hand on the file to explain, soothe but also against attack.
Once again, it’s the Prime Minister Jean Castex, who has risen to the front, Thursday, January 20, after a health defense counsel. The evolution of the pandemic, with the spectacular arrival of the Omicron, more contagious but less dangerous variant, has given rise to doubts and questions about the benefits of testing and vaccination, he conceded. What’s good getting vaccinated if we can, despite everything, be contaminated and transmit the virus to his neighbor? Why test if symptoms are less worrying? Some countries, such as Spain, are considering treating coronaviruses as a vulgar flu epidemic.
“This virus is nothing in anodin,” said Castex, reminding that the influenza epidemic caused an average of 10,000 hospitalizations during the winter when, with Omicron, this figure is reached ” Not in three months, but in just five days “. Vaccination protects against serious shapes and reduces the contagiousness of the variant, he added. “If we have been able to cross in recent weeks, with hundreds of thousands of contaminations every day and hospitals that held, it is not the result of chance. It is because we have made the right decisions,” also insisted the Prime Minister. Said otherwise, the mantra of the head of state – “vaccinating, vaccinating, vaccinating” – not questioned by Omicron.
