Agnès Buzyn claims not to have been heard

The former Minister of Health defends herself: the threat of the epidemic, she had taken it seriously from the start, but her warnings were ignored. She put her version of the facts in a diary containing excerpts from diary, SMS or emails. An explosive document of 600 pages. The story begins on Christmas Day with the discovery of these mysterious cases of pneumonia in China, on which she chooses to alert Emmanuel Macron and Edouard Philippe from January 11.

The month of January is progressing, the images of the inhabitants of Wuhan in quarantine go around the world and the fears are confirmed for the Minister of Health, who is nevertheless reassuring in public. In private, she would have been alarming and would have multiplied the messages. After several unsuccessful attempts, it was not until February 8 that she obtained an appointment with the Head of State, to inform him of the measures to be taken, a week before her departure. Agnès Buzyn is indeed pushed to replace Benjamin Grivaux in the race for mayor of Paris and leaves her ministry.
