If the lockdown must apply to everyone, elderly people should be even more aware of the potential consequences of each outing.
However, the number of elderly people seen moving around the streets of Nice and in supermarkets is very worrying.
When possible, the supply for the elderly should be handled by the younger members of the families.
When families are not present, which is often the case on the Côte d’Azur where many retirees from other regions have settled, a network of volunteers must be quickly organized. This sometimes exists informally in certain buildings or neighborhoods, but the CCAS should coordinate these good intentions and put in place a system to monitor the most vulnerable individuals. This will be more useful than the Mayor’s bluster on subjects (supply of masks and tests, treatment with chloroquine, etc.) that he does not have a command of.
