Fréderic Valletoux, the president of the Federation of French Hospitals, said last Friday that the country should implement another nationwide lockdown, despite most hospitals not being overwhelmed with COVID patients and which are operating at safe levels.
France 24 reported that Valletoux issued the warning shortly after Prime Minister Jean Castex resisted calls for a new lockdown.
“We must stick with the current restrictions we already have in place,” he said. “But the situation today does not justify a new national lockdown.”
The country has a 6 PM to 6 AM curfew and enforces border and social-distance rules.
Karine Lacombe, the head of infectious diseases at Paris’ Saint Antoine hospital, told a local radio show that the country will likely have to reinstate some kind of lockdown.
“We’re still at a high plateau in France. And to bring it down, new restrictive measures will be inevitable,” she said, according to Reuters.
TRENDPOST: Absent the mainstream media coverage, which is intent on selling fear and hysteria, are the hard facts.
Lock down France again? Continue the curfew? Why?
In the nation of 67.06 million, France has registered 78,794 deaths over the past year. Compared to New York State, for which America’s media champions its Governor Andrew Cuomo for bravely and intelligently fighting the COVID War and which has a COVID death rate of 230 per 100,000 people… France’s death rate is 113.5 per 100,000.
And, according to statista.com, 92 percent of the reported COVID deaths in France are people 65 years of age older… and 78 percent are over 75.
Yet, rather than design and implement strategies to address those most susceptible to dying from the virus, as with other “democracies” across the globe, the leaders ignore the scientific data and impose draconian lockdowns that have destroyed countless millions of lives and livelihoods.
