Looking for available slots.
With the announcement Thursday of the expansion of the recall campaign to all adults, the time slots to receive its third vaccine against Covid-19 are stormed: according to the Ministry of Health, near 5 million appointments have been made since November 25. To cope with this "vaccine boom", the ministry promises to reopen 300 centers, while it had started to close before the epidemic resumption, and reports sustained orders of vaccines from doctors, pharmacists and nurses, who will be able to administer stocks from December 10. Olivier Véran wants to be reassuring. All the necessary injections can take place within "seven to eight weeks", according to the minister.
Who will be a candidate?
Members of the Republicans party began voting Wednesday morning to nominate their presidential candidate. At 10 am this Thursday, the participation was strong since it exceeded 73%. There is total uncertainty as to the outcome of the ballot. Because none of the five candidates seems to have clearly stood out since the start of the campaign and the number of memberships has jumped in recent weeks, without it being possible to know which candidate will benefit.
The end of cashiers?
Between 2018 and 2021, hypermarkets equipped with automatic checkouts increased from 81% to 88%, and supermarkets from 39% to 43%.
However, it is impossible to obtain precise statistics from the mass market on the impact in terms of employment of this technological revolution.
Immediately, the doors close.
The info that concerns you
Vacation rentals, beware of scams!
A transfer of a click ... and the money can fly in seconds without a trace.
To limit the risks, the Médiavacances platform offers to check whether the code given to you comes from the real rental company or from a scammer.
Because one of the most common scams is to copy and paste an existing vacation rental ad.
Then, under the pretext of wanting to make sure that it is not a scam, the scammer asks the owner for an identity card and a deed of ownership.
It is then easy for him to redo an advertisement, to buy a prepaid card with the identity of the legitimate owner and to be paid for the rentals by transfer.
