The awkward sentence of the Paris prefect of police
The Paris prefect of police, Didier Lallement, made the link this Friday between those who breached confinement and those hospitalised in intensive care, patients with coronavirus. Polemical remarks quickly denounced
“No need to be penalized to understand that those who are hospitalized today, that we find in the resuscitation, are those who at the beginning of confinement did not respect it. There is a very simple correlation.”
He later regretted his statements.
“Basically, this is false,” he added a few hours later after arousing outrage on social networks.
