According to Ms Bachelot, the scenario of the World Health Organization that 30% of the world population is likely to be reached was “an early confirmation, even if it was” difficult to extrapolate the curve. ” She recalled that France had 33 million antiviral treatments and that the first doses of vaccines were “beginning to happen.”
