Limitation of movement, minimum distance, the instructions are strict to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Saturday Edouard Philippe deplored that the rules of social distancing are "imperfectly" respected and called on the French to more "discipline". Professor Christian Combe, a doctor in Bordeaux, notes at the microphone of Europe 1 that it did not really change on Sunday. "The containment rules are effective, this is what the Chinese do. While we, the people do not feel concerned. They say to themselves: 'It's nice, we're going outside'", he summed up.

"On the market in Bordeaux, I see a line to buy chicken, people are glued to each other, 20 or 30 cm" against the distance of 1 meter recommended, he says. And recount another scene, that of a couple in their thirties with a baby, in a market queue, who responded to the doctor's criticisms in these terms: "We are not concerned, because it does not touches that old people. " Another example in a town square: "There was a cafe open, a bar. There were ten, fifteen people, I said to them: 'You should be closed', the owner replied:" It is at home, I do what I want. '
"It is an absolute incivism"
For the doctor it is obvious that this is not the case: "No madam, you do not do what you want, you have a social responsibility as an employer." The most unbearable according to him, "is to say that the chains of transmission are formed in this way there. It is irresponsible, unbearable selfishness. It is an absolute incivism."

The doctor therefore recalls the importance of confinement. "The rallies must not take place, you have to stay at home to break the chain of transmission of the virus." He also warns of the consequences of not respecting the instructions. "You need discipline, you have to stay at home, break the chain. If you overwhelm the care capacity, this is where you have significant mortality."
