StopCovid application: a battle lost in advance? .

Application StopCovid: une bataille perdue d'avance? .

POLICY - After several twists and turns in this thorny issue, it's the big day.

POLITIQUE - Après plusieurs rebondissements dans cet épineux dossier, c’est le grand jour.

The StopCovid application, presented by the government as the digital tool that will make it possible to control the coronavirus epidemic, passes this Wednesday, May 27 in Parliament, the subject of a debate and a vote in the Assembly then in the Senate.

L’application StopCovid, présentée par le gouvernement comme l’outil numérique qui permettra de maîtriser l’épidémie de coronavirus, passe ce mercredi 27 mai devant le Parlement, faisant l’objet d’un débat et d’un vote à l’Assemblée puis au Sénat.

And it is an understatement to say that, despite the cautious green light given by the CNIL on Tuesday, the subject is under debate, including within the majority.

Et c’est peu dire que, malgré le feu vert prudent donné par la Cnil ce mardi, le sujet fait débat, y compris au sein de la majorité.

In front of the parliamentarians, the Secretary of State for Digital, Cédric O, tried to reassure as he could, in particular on the security of personal data, one of the tension points of the tracking device.

Devant les parlementaires, le secrétaire d’État au numérique, Cédric O, a tenté de rassurer comme il a pu, notamment sur la sécurité des données personnelles, l’un des points de crispations du dispositif de traçage.

"I think it is the most secure health file in the French Republic," he assured during a videoconference with the deputies.

“Je pense que c’est le fichier de santé le plus sécurisé de la République française”, a- t-il assuré lors d’une visioconférence avec les députés.

According to the interested party, the application can be deployed as of this weekend if the Parliament symbolically validates the launch of the application, the vote not having in this case of binding value.

Selon l’intéressé, l’application pourra être déployée dès ce week-end si le Parlement valide symboliquement le lancement de l’application, le vote n’ayant pas dans ce cas de valeur contraignante.

"The leftists of the web freaked people out" Then we will have to measure the relevance of such a device.

“Les gauchistes du web ont fait flipper les gens”Restera alors à mesurer la pertinence d’un tel dispositif.

In the hemicycle, several elected officials are already scrapping a tool deployed after the battle.

Dans l’hémicycle, plusieurs élus ferraillent déjà sur un outil déployé après la bataille.

Another criticism formulated by the deputy of Ain, the adhesion of the citizens to this technology.

"It takes 60% of French people online for it to work effectively.

“Il faut 60% des Français connectés pour qu’elle fonctionne efficacement.

I wonder: 60% of French will download the application? "He asked, adding that the LR group will abstain.

Je m’interroge: 60% des Français téléchargeront-ils l’application?”, s’est-il demandé, précisant que le groupe LR s’abstiendra.

On this point, it is difficult to draw conclusions from the various studies published on this subject.

How Xavier Bertrand cuts the costume of opponent to Emmanuel Macron.

Comment Xavier Bertrand se taille le costume d'opposant à Emmanuel Macron .

POLITICS - If the Élysée Palace would have gone without the controversy, it could hardly have been otherwise.

POLITIQUE - Si l’Élysée se serait bien passé de la polémique, il pouvait difficilement en être autrement.

As Emmanuel Macron prepares from the Valeo site in Étaples in Pas-de-Calais to announce a plan to save the automotive sector hard hit by the coronavirus crisis, the president of the Hauts-de-France region Xavier Bertrand was loudly indignant at not being invited.

Alors qu’Emmanuel Macron s’apprête depuis le site de Valeo à Étaples dans le Pas-de-Calais à annoncer un plan visant à sauver le secteur automobile durement touché par la crise du coronavirus, le président de la région Hauts-de-France Xavier Bertrand s’est bruyamment indigné de n’être pas convié.

Under cover of sanitary justifications, this decision contravening the republican uses sounds like a fact of the prince after the incident on the masks occurred during the commemoration of Montcornet a few days ago.

Sous couvert de justifications sanitaires, cette décision contrevenant aux usages républicains sonne comme un fait du prince après l’incident sur les masques survenu lors de la commémoration de Montcornet il y a quelques jours.

The Élysée may well defend itself, swearing that the two situations have "no connection", it is with this air that Xavier Bertrand sounded the response to AFP.

L’Élysée a beau s’en défendre, jurant que les deux situations n’ont “aucun rapport”, c’est bien sur cet air que Xavier Bertrand a sonné la riposte auprès de l’AFP.

"Obviously, the President of the Republic is involved in politics when we should all work together", fumes the president of the Hauts-de-France region.

“Visiblement, le président de la République fait de la politique alors qu’on devrait travailler tous ensemble”, fulmine le président de la région Hauts-de-France.

Who adds: "We should stick together in a crisis never seen before! Staging is not what we need ".

Qui ajoute: “On devrait se serrer les coudes dans une crise jamais vue ! La mise en scène, ce n’est pas ce dont on a besoin”.

Question staged, the former Minister of Health actually speaks as an expert.

Question mise en scène, l’ex-ministre de la Santé parle effectivement en expert.

By refusing to drop the mask Sunday May 17 at the ceremony dedicated to the defeat of Montcornet, Xavier Bertrand appeared in the middle of a rank of elected officials as one who refused to sacrifice health directives on the altar of Elysian communication.

En refusant de tomber le masque dimanche 17 mai lors de la cérémonie consacrée à la défaite de Montcornet, Xavier Bertrand apparaissait au milieu d’un rang d’élus comme celui qui refusait de sacrifier les consignes sanitaires sur l’autel de la communication élyséenne.

An affront amplified by the vitriolic tribune published a few hours before in Le JDD in which he drew a cruel parallel between the defeat of 1940 and the management of the coronavirus crisis.

Un affront amplifié par la tribune au vitriol publiée quelques heures avant dans Le JDD dans laquelle il dressait un parallèle cruel entre la défaite de 1940 et la gestion de la crise du coronavirus.

"For De Gaulle, a chef must not speak constantly, wrongly and through.

“Pour De Gaulle, un chef ne doit pas parler en permanence, à tort et à travers.

He must lead his country with a firm hand without worrying about its popularity and be able to assume the right decisions alone, "wrote Xavier Bertrand in particular.

Il doit mener son pays d’une main ferme sans se préoccuper de sa popularité et être capable d’assumer seul les bonnes décisions”, écrivait notamment Xavier Bertrand.

De esta manera, ya son 27.117 los muertos a causa de la pandemia, casi 300 más de los notificados ayer después de la corrección de cifras.

This Monday, the Ministry rectified the balance of deaths and reduced the total number by almost 2,000 (from 28,752 to 26,834 in one day), due to the "deletion of duplications" and the review of cases that were not ultimately coronavirus, explained Fernando Simón .

Este lunes, el Ministerio rectificó el balance de muertes y redujo en casi 2.000 el número total (de 28.752 a 26.834 en un día), debido al “borrado de duplicidades” y a la revisión de casos que finalmente no fueron de coronavirus, explicó Fernando Simón.

The director of the Coordination Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies warned of these "variations" that could last several days until "the new system" was perfectly implemented.

Sobre esas “variaciones”, advirtió el director del Centro de Coordinación de Alertas y Emergencias Sanitarias que podrían durar varios días hasta que “el nuevo sistema” estuviese perfectamente implementado.

Of the 35 deaths, nine come from Catalonia, eight from La Rioja and six from Madrid, with up to a dozen territories without any.

De las 35 muertes, nueve provienen de Cataluña, ocho de La Rioja y seis de Madrid, con hasta una decena de territorios sin ninguna.

No new deaths from Coidid-19 announced today.

Gan aon bhás nua ó Chovid-19 fógartha inniu.

The Chief Medical Officer and Dr.

Deir an Príomhoigigeach Leighis and Dr.

Tony Holohan reported no deaths of Coidid-19 in the State in 24 hours.

Tony Holohan nár bhásaigh aon duine de Chovid-19 sa Stát le 24 uair.

This is the first day that no deaths have been announced since mid-March, which has resulted in the loss of 1,606 people in the State since the pandemic began.

Seo an chéad lá nár fógraíodh aon bhás ó lár mhi na Márta Fágann sin gur cailleadh 1,606 duine sa Stát ó thosaigh an phaindéim.

However, 59 new cases were confirmed here, bringing the total number of cases to 24,698.

Deimhníodh 59 cás nua áfach anseo, rud a thugann líon iomlán na gcásanna chuig 24,698.

This is part of the downward trend already seen, says Dr.

Cuid é seo den treocht síos atá le feiceáil cheana a deir an Dr.

Holohan But he added that figures after the weekend often indicate that there can be some delay in reporting deaths and cases.

Holohan Ach dúirt sé freisin go léiríonn figiuirí tar éis an deireadh seachtaine go minic gur féidir moill éigin bheith ar thuairisciú bhásanna agus chásanna.

Regarding the public debate on social separation, Tony Holohan said that the two meters are a reasonable arrangement in the context of the current situation.

Maidir leis an bplé poiblí ar an scaradh sóisisalta, dúirt Tony Holohan gur comhshocrú réasúnta é an dá mheadar i gcomhthéacs an staid ina bhfuil muid faoi láthair.

The public health council is constantly under review and will be kept under review, he said.

Bíonn an chomhairle sláinte phoiblí faoi athbhreithniú i gcónaí agus beifear á mheas go leanúnach, a dúirt sé.

He said it is not a magical set in itself, but the transmission risk of two meters is lower than the risk of one meter.

Ní socrú draíochta as féin atá ann, a dúirt sé, ach tá an riosca tarchuir as dhá mheadar níos ísle ná an riosca as aon mheadar.

Public health officials are continuing to work with their colleagues in the Department of Children, with a view to finding policies that will assist essential workers with their childcare.

Tá oifigigh sláinte phoiblí ag obair go leanúnach lena gcomhghleacaithe i Roinn na Leanaí,féachaint le beartais a aimsiú a chuirfidh cúnamh ar fáil d'oibrithe riachtanacha lena gcúram leanaí.

Tony Holohan said that a plan of arrangements had been drawn up which was due to come into effect last Monday with the easing of restrictions, but the demand for that scheme was low.

Dúirt Tony Holohan gur cuireadh plean áirithe socruithe le chéile a bhí le teacht i bhfeidhm Dé Luain seo caite agus na srianta á maolú, ach go raibh an t-éileamh ar an scéim sin íseal.
