Michel Cymes has been invited on numerous television sets since the start of the coronavirus epidemic in France. The doctor tried to answer questions from the French, who were very worried and confined to their homes for an indefinite period. In a long portrait by Paris Match and published in its edition from March 19 to 25, 2020, we learn that the doctor is also very strong in humor. Famous for his schoolboy jokes sometimes daring in The health magazine alongside Marina Carrère d'Encausse, Michel Cymes sometimes plays with fire. "Michel walks on a wire. He does aerobatics but never falls", said a friend to him in the columns of Paris Match.

It is notably said that the health specialist allowed himself a joke that could have gone wrong with François Hollande. During a gala dinner at the Palace of Versailles, Michel Cymes did "the joke of the woman whose sex smells like onion". After a moment of "stunned silence", "the room laughs". François Hollande is a good audience. In these days of pandemic and confinement, Michel Cymes is not keen on laughing. Guest on the set of C to you Monday March 16, the doctor kept his seriousness, listed the symptoms of Covid-19 and even apologized: "On the one hand, we must fight against the psychosis that is already installed but by saying, which is true, that 80% of cases are mild forms, that 98% of people affected by the coronavirus will cure, that c is a form of flu that we will have for 8/10 days. (…) I do my mea-culpa too, I probably reassured the French too much".
