President Emmanuel Macron’s government has beaten back the coronavirus, prevented mass layoffs, propped up the salaries of the unemployed, staved off long food lines, and achieved a lower death rate than its neighbors, Germany excepted.
Mr. Macron ordered a strict lockdown that lasted nearly two months, and when it was over the virus was barely circulating. But while the early response could be faulted for some sluggishness and a shortage of masks, and more than 29,000 people died, France has fared better than many in the pandemic, especially when compared with the United States, Italy, Spain and especially Britain.
Just don’t tell that to the French, who resent Mr. Macron for it more than ever.

C’est pas un si bon journal que ça, vraiment.

  The French once thought of medical gear, like fighter jets, as a national security asset that had to be made at home. But cuts and outsourcing have left them scrambling for masks, tests and even pain pills.

  Its Defenses Undone by a Virus, France Seeks Lessons From a Lost War
  ▻https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/09/world/europe/coronavirus-france-strange-defeat.html
  Why did France record one of the world’s highest Covid-19 death tolls and mortality rates? Why is it expected to suffer a catastrophic drop of 11 percent in its gross domestic product?
  Some French have sought clues in “Strange Defeat,’’ which described a country that in, 1940, believed it had the best army in the world but that was trounced by Hitler’s forces in six short weeks.

  J’ai vu ça hier sur l’oiseau bleu, « Le New York Times » en tendance France, le trolls LREM d’en pouvaient plus.
  Les autres articles plus journalistiques et moins hagiographiques sont de Norimitsu Onishi dont j’espère de tout cœur qu’il est à la hauteur des attentes placées en lui.

France has become a case study in how some countries are now reconsidering their dependence on global supply chains built during the past two decades on the mantra of low costs and quick delivery. Even now, France has no guarantees that it can secure enough supplies in the coming weeks to protect against a potential second wave of the virus.
