Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson. The actor Idris Elba. Or Blaise Matuidi, the wife of Justin Trudeau, the ministers Brune Poirson and Franck Riester and more recently Prince Albert. Since the spread of the coronavirus, many celebrities have tested positive for the virus. Ads that raise questions among the population. While the tests are reserved for patients with severe symptoms, the most fragile and medical personnel, some wonder how all these stars, put in confinement and not seeming to be at risk cases, could benefit.
A pass for the stars?
Would they have had privileges to be screened? This is the question that the public is asking, including Michel Cymes. In the columns of Parisian, the most popular PAF doctor, is surprised to discover the number of new people infected with the virus. Laura Tenoudji, the partner of Christian Estrosi, herself suffering from Covid-19 without being a serious case, explained to our colleagues: “We went to the doctors because Christian is the mayor of Nice, with all that that means in terms of contacts, meetings. He had to manage coronavirus crisis meetings, it was important to know. The fact that he is chairman of the supervisory board of the CHU also played a role. ”
Doubt is allowed
Despite his explanations, doubt persists as to the privileges to which certain personalities are entitled.
