Calling is easy. Respond to everyone, at the same time, much less. So obviously we have the right to complain. But you should know: Those who found that the vaccines were produced too quickly should not now find that things are not going fast enough …
That was to be expected: From the moment you give a date to make an appointment, everyone rushes. And so this Thursday, January 14 in the morning, the phones of the Prefecture heated seriously. As if they had been the victim of a virus.
Yes there was a virus, but he was on the side of the callers who, quite legitimately, all hoped to be able to have the date and time of their appointment to be vaccinated. And if possible before noon.
Let’s recognize that when you’re 75 or over, it is still much easier to make a phone call than to register on the internet.
It should therefore come as no surprise to have seen annoyance spreading faster than CORONAVIRUS. The boxes were filled at the speed of the TGV, so that Thursday evening, the Prefecture has already announced nearly 4,000 registered registrations, for a vaccination, in one day.
It is obviously easy to have accused the Prefecture of Saône-et-Loire and the organization set up by the State of all evils. And we understand the anger of those who called and who had no answer.But in our beautiful department of Saône-et-Loire have they forgotten the galleys to have an appointment with an ophthalmologist and even an appointment – you see a general practitioner, even if with the departmental health center things have improved.
In fact, as usual, the French want everything, right away. But it’s true that when you’re 75 and over, and you can’t kiss your children and grandchildren like before, you understand that you can be impatient.
It will be noted that after the nutty polls which announced that many people did not want to be vaccinated, today the trends are reversed. It’s a bit like polls for elections, it’s debated on TV and radio, but on election night everyone agrees that once again pollsters are are deceived.
Nevertheless, the registration phase was no doubt misjudged in terms of the momentum it would generate as soon as the green light was given. In fact, it would probably have been necessary to rely on the expertise of firefighters who, for example, know how to go up to speed to answer all calls, in case of heavy weather, devastating storms, or storms. .
At least the calls that have not been answered this Thursday, January 14, will they have allowed some to find a new opportunity to bitch and thus feed the media machine in need of controversy.
For the Saône-et-Loiriens who remained hungry on January 14, it will be noted that the Prefecture of Saône et Loire opened registrations on Thursday morning, when the Prefecture of Nièvre waited for the afternoon. We will add that in a real transparency and in a duty of information, the same Prefecture of Saône-et-Loire announced Thursday evening the number of registrants, which was not done in all the departments.
In short, on the evening of January 14, if it was necessary to assign marks, obviously and objectively, the Saône-et-Loire did not deserve the worst.
There is still an important data: the number of vaccines available and the number of people likely to vaccinate. Senator Fabien Genet offered himself a great platform at the Luxembourg Palace, accusing the Minister of Health that things were not going fast enough.
“Instead of trying to convince the uncertain, let’s start by vaccinating the volunteers. They are very numerous and very impatient ”, launched the former Mayor of Digoin who also asked that authorization be given to pharmacists to prick.
In fact, in the war of words, which is also a political war a little over a year before the Presidential elections, we should obviously not expect a national union. But what is ultimately important? The words ? The acts ? Or the health situation in our country?
And we have to recognize that France has nothing to envy of a certain number of countries around us. And if we will always find some where it is better, there are so many others where it is less good. In fact, it all depends on which side you are on. It’s like the phone. There is the one who calls on one side. And the one who on the other hand cannot answer everyone at the same time. In these cases it is necessary to know how to be not only patient, but understanding. Question of education (a little) anyway.
