The city is sad without its cafes, bars, restaurants, laments Jean-Marc Vayssouze, who now calls for a relaxation of curfew measures depending on the territories.
The argument is well supported as mayor of Cahors and as chairman of the AMF du Lot, whose board of directors has just referred to the State. Jean-Marc Vayssouze therefore asks to open perspectives to the departments where the virus circulates little.
“We have a health situation which is improving in the Lot with a positivity rate of 2.8 and an incidence rate of 59. This is two times less than the national average. At the same time, the vaccination s ‘accelerates with 12% of Lotois having received at least one injection, and it is even 50% of those over 75. Added finally, immunity and the arrival of sunny days and we should see the spread of the virus slow down further , I hope so, “says the elected representative who advocates” a territorialization of the measures taken to limit the spread of Covid-19 “.
Delay the curfew to 8 p.m., strengthen family visits to residents of retirement homes, implement health protocols to reopen cinemas, theaters, museums, certain sports facilities, etc. Are as many tracks as list Jean-Marc Vayssouze, for whom “it is time to favor the departments which have good health figures and to give again the decision-making power to the couple mayor and prefect who will act with good sense and responsibility”.
Because in his city, the local elected official notes that it is high time for life to resume. “The budgetary impact of this crisis amounts to 1 million euros for the community, we will face. For the moment also, the Cadurciens businesses, the companies seem to hold, but the system is on drip and when the aid goes stopping is where the consequences will reveal themselves “.
In saying this, the Cadurcien councilor also thinks of young people: “to this generation that we risk sacrificing, because the effect on our youth will not be neutral”.
He knows what he is talking about since the police station in his town reports more and more interventions for quarrels, neighborhood conflicts, tensions. In short, incidents linked to human and social relations which also include domestic violence.
So rather than maintaining this national standardization, Jean-Marc Vayssouze wants to believe in a modulated strategy on the territory. “We are doing the right thing with citizens who respect prevention measures. We have 13 vaccination centers, including two in Cahors. There is a real commitment from health professionals. And as soon as we have any doubts, for example In relation to variants in particular, massive screenings were organized “, he lists, regretting that no decision by the State has been taken” to loosen these constraints and stop the psychological distress and incomprehension of the population “.
And to drive the point home: “Who understands these inconsistent measures? Training and extra-curricular activities possible until 6 p.m., and prohibited after, What’s the difference. And a curfew maintained while we have known stronger circulation of the virus, without such restrictive measures. It’s time to give people some perspective. “
