For Karine Lacombe, the executive is playing with fire and waiting to be at "edge of the precipice" to act. A strategy which, according to her, will not bear fruit. However, the researcher from Savoy tempers: "Far from me wanting to judge the decision that is made because it is not based only on health facts, but also on economic and social constraints ".
