Was it an untenable promise or a miscommunication?
On June 25, shortly after the first confinement, Olivier Véran announced that 12,000 resuscitation beds would be
"mobilized"
in the event of a new epidemic wave.
That is 7,000 more than in France in ordinary time.
Seven months have passed, the coronavirus is still running, but the declaration of the Minister of Health has remained a dead letter ...
Everyone knows that the executive power has aligned, from the start, its anti-Covid policy with the reception capacities of our hospital system.
Spontaneously, we therefore wonder why he did not increase these to give more freedoms to the population.
Olivier Véran should not have given rise to such hope because, in the surrounding anxiety-provoking climate, he was taken at his word.
At the risk of opening yet another controversy.
This is one of the great lessons of this health crisis: the public word must be weighed with a trebuchet so as not to sow doubt and mistrust.
