Coronavirus: this photo from the Elysée Scientific Council which shocks internet users: Current Woman Le MAG

Since January 2020, China has suffered a meteoric health crisis. The virus called covid-19 first hit Beijing before spreading around the world, causing more people to be infected every day. In France, the government prepared in January for the arrival of the virus on its soil. The Minister of Health Agnès Buzyn then Olivier Véran, his successor, multiplied the consultation meetings in the company of the President of the Republic.

However, as soon as the first infected were diagnosed and faced with their state of health which was deteriorating at breakneck speed, the State decided to react.

"Set a good example with barrier gestures!" or "bunch of irresponsible!" can we read for example in comments. An image that has not finished talking.
