Macrons announcement.

[Doug]

Have just watched our presedent's tv announcement.
Just a few to go on with.
Vaccs obligation for all working in care.
Booster vacc for those who had early ones.
Tightning border controls
Cov tests to be payable from September, no doubt to encourage the reluctant french to get their vacc.
Reform to retraite but after the covid crises is over.

[Doug]

His announcement that there will be payement for tests in September and asking people to get the vacc seems to to have worked.
By 8,30 this evening 17,000 a minute were on docolib trying to get a vacc.

[France in Focus]

Well I suppose the more people that get vaccinated means the less chance covid will keep making new variants.

[Hotrodder]

At least in France.

[Doug]

At least in France.

One would hope so but.
BoJo and team keep boasting about the uk having such a high number of vaccinations but still the covid numbers are going up at an alarming rate.
But then its a maskless society,

[Wilbro]

Johnsonaro is the new Bonsonaro!

Yes, just called in at the pharmacie for a prescription and a woman came in for her rdv. I asked the lady dealing with me if things had changed since last night, both her and the other lady laughed knowingly, nodding vigorously.
