finally this instruction to go out,

A good player, the one who left the presidential majority, "

quite dryly fired by the press

French defiance

The deputy recognizes some “

messes

” in the vaccine strategy, but “

it is moving forward

”.

"

We can no longer say that France is lagging behind,"

he said

.

"

It's in the communication, in the explanation"

that things do not go well, tempers Villani.

Is there an absence of a risk culture in France?

"

If there is a French specificity, it is rather in the mistrust

", assures the scientist.

The French are more suspicious than other nations, of progress, of government, but also of each other.

What main lesson will he draw from this crisis?

Certainly in the human and social sciences, on the bonds of trust and the relationship between scientists and politicians

The big stakes and the big inequalities are exacerbated

”, judges the mathematician.

The government talks a lot, "

rightly

", about psychiatric health issues in France.

"

I realize how urgent it is

the state of mental health of our students is deplorable

" warns the elected official.

It is urgent to "

bring more air

", to keep schools and universities open while reducing contacts for the entire population, by installing telework as a "

norm

".
