FIGAROVOX.- Jean Castex, this Thursday, December 3, declared: "

David DESGOUILLES.-

What seems unreasonable to me is that the Prime Minister is recommending the number of people at the table in French homes.

And to use a word like "

".

After having evoked “

” not to let go, thus comparing citizens to equines, here is that Jean Castex compares the residence of each French to a tank of gasoline.

I do not know whether the number six is ​​reasonable or not, but I doubt whether the Prime Minister or the Minister of Health is better able to set a "

But I go further.

Not only is this recommendation unreasonable, it can even be dangerous for social cohesion.

What will the gendarmes do if a citizen calls them to denounce his neighbor who welcomes more than six adults on Christmas Eve, assuring that he has counted them by spying out the window?

Will they do a check?

We have seen, especially during the first confinement, that this kind of call to the constabulary was not anecdotal.

I fear that this kind of recommendations will encourage behavior of denunciations which could leave lasting traces on a national cohesion which really did not need this.

Do you think that this rule will be respected by the French?

Last week, Natacha Polony rightly explained that society was in danger when the honest man no longer sees any problem in breaking the rules, they appear absurd and illegitimate.

Since the start of the second confinement (I use the term "

" and not "

" on purpose, and I hope not to be mistaken), many French people are living this situation.

To please Jean Castex and Olivier Véran, are you going to draw lots to find out which couple will not come to spend New Years Eve at home?

So, you are used to inviting your brother, your sister, their spouses as well as your parents, and this year, to please Jean Castex and Olivier Véran, you will draw lots to find out which couple will not come by. New Years Eve at home?

No one can believe such a pun.

This rule will not be respected because it is not respectable and it is above all illegitimate.

In some neighboring countries, similar procedures have been advocated.

Are we wrong to complain?

Indeed, there are countries which have chosen equally intrusive methods.

But we should not forget other neighbors who have chosen not to recommend such rules.

Do the latter perform worse in controlling the epidemic?

Obviously no.

The system of self-certification of displacement, infantilizing system if there is one, was used by three European countries (Spain, France, Italy) which had among the worst results in terms of mortality and saturation of hospitals. .

A few weeks ago, Italy was given as an example of a country which had taken restrictive measures and which obtained good results in the fight against the second wave.

Today, it turns out that Italy does not perform better than its neighbors.

The axiom that we must be more restrictive and directive in the fight against Covid-19 is, in fact, defeated.

Last week, the words of Professor Rémi Salomon “

Rémi Salomon did nothing but imitate the Prime Minister who had already called for "

".

Jean Castex also recommended that the mask be worn at home in all circumstances.

One can legitimately wonder about the reasons of these personalities, whether they are members of the government or pundits of the medical world, to speak to us as if we were eight years old.

Do they really think that we are so irresponsible that it is advisable to educate ourselves permanently with the paternalistic tone that goes with it?

Do they really think that we are so irresponsible that it is advisable to educate ourselves constantly with the paternalistic tone that goes with it?

Or don't they have that feeling at all?

Either way, it's unpleasant.

But we want to ask them in turn, as a brilliant mind did the other day on a news channel: "
