It is "a solemn appeal" to the mobilization of "the whole economy" that we launched, on Saturday, the emergency doctors of Amuf to win "the health war". They "refuse to be forced to choose the patients" of the coronavirus admitted to intensive care and "those who must be left to die for lack of means".
"The solution cannot be to multiply the sanitary trains across the country which mobilize material and human resources disproportionate to the number of patients concerned", criticizes the Association of Emergency Physicians of France (Amuf) in a press release. "We can no longer be constantly behind and run after the spread of the epidemic. To win a war, we need a war economy," said Amuf.

The emergency room union considers that "the priority today is to immediately increase the number of intensive care beds by mobilizing all of the country's industrial, logistical and human resources by putting a stop to all non-essential activities" .
