If Anne-Sophie Lapix's interview with Edouard Philippe annoyed internet users on March 17, 2020, Yann Barthès also did not find favor with their eyes. While the television stations and their hosts are applying all the precautionary measures imposed by the government to limit the spread of Covid-19, the presenter, his cameramen and other columnists appeared on the screen equipped with… protective masks on the face.
However, for several weeks, the medical world is sorely lacking in means of protection. Faced with this shortage, political and professional health representatives have repeatedly asked citizens to leave them to caregivers and the sick. So when the journalist and all his team wear them in front of the mouth or squarely around the neck, it does not pass at all. On Twitter, users were offended by discovering the images.
“Why in the Daily program, the hosts wear masks (which can no longer be found) and only 8pm TF1 they tell us that the masks are only for the sick and the medical staff? Be informed and give us the truth ”, wonders a surfer. Another reminds: "Do not wear masks, be in solidarity with our caregivers who fight on a daily basis, asked Jérôme Salomon, recalling that protective masks are reserved only for the sick, medical transport, aid to people and carers ". Or : "Daily passes reports explaining the lack of masks when we are told that only the sick and caregivers must wear masks, and shows just after his cameraman on set with masks …. Bravo …!"
@Qofficiel @ TF1 group @csaudiovisual #Daily # COVID19 shame on you for being clever with masks that you display as show accessories while our hospitals are in dire need! So do you have no awareness of your impact on behavior? pic.twitter.com/fJ9kvoZ91e

#daily sure @TMCtv start by giving the example: masks are for health personnel not cameramen !!! Either they are infected and they go home or they don’t wear them. The doctors keep repeating it, they need it !!!

"Do not wear masks, be in solidarity with our caregivers who fight on a daily basis," asked Professor Jérôme Salomon, recalling that protective masks are reserved only for "patients, medical transport, rescue for people and carers"
