As in 2020, the wishes of Emmanuel Macron, on December 31, will be pronounced at the corner of the burning fire of the CVIV-19 epidemic. The head of state did not expect a year ago to turn in circles in the course. The last traditional address of the Quinquennium had, in theory, to mark the cesure between the step of valorization of its balance sheet – with a long interview with a long interview on TF1 and LCI – and that of projection towards the presidential election of the 10 and 24 April 2022. Las, the irruption of the Omicron variant forces him to the overplace. As in an endless day, Mr. Macron, in a message published on social networks, Thursday, December 23, once again called the French to be tested before the Christmas reunion.
By the end of the month, France “would very likely exceed the 100,000 contaminations per day,” Wednesday warned on BFM-TV, the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran. A record. “The situation is critical,” said the Government spokesman on the same day, Gabriel Attal, at the end of the Council of Ministers. And even if the doubts about the dangerousness of this new variant do not yet allow to anticipate the magnitude of the wave that will affect the hospital. Only certainty: this configuration places Emmanuel Macron at the center of the game, once again, less than four months from the main electoral appointment of the country.
Monday, December 27, an extraordinary council of ministers must meet at the Elysee. The opportunity to review the bill to transform the vaccineal passes, the executive hoped for the adoption to Parliament at the latest in mid-January. According to a version of the text that Le Monde could consult, this vaccinal pass should be claimed “for access to leisure activities, restaurants and drinking, trade fairs, seminars and trade shows or interregional transport”.
The curfew “not privileged”
Beyond this bill, the Monday meeting will have to “re-evaluate the sanitary situation” in the aftermath of Christmas, anticipated Mr. Attal. And deciding on new restrictions, after closing nightclubs or the ban on ceremonies of vows.
For the time being, the government clings to its vaccine strategy. The ambition is to administer as soon as possible a reminder to all adults (20.5 million people received this third dose), to bring immunization the more than five million recalcitrants, but also to encourage the parents to injected the serum to their children (the 5-11 years have access to Wednesday). Indeed, they contribute strongly to the circulation of the virus. “Today, a one-hundred child is positive at COVID,” said Mr. Véran. The latter took the opportunity to remember that the serious forms of the disease report more often in non-vaccinated, which represent “a small majority” of patients admitted in resuscitation.
