Head of the neurology department at Bicêtre hospital (AP-HP), he can only make this observation: at the public hospital, “Things are going from bad to worse”, and the Covid is a drop of water in an already overfilled vase. “I think that in fact, the health crisis has even delayed the phenomenon, estimates the D^r Christophe Trivalle, head of the Alzheimer’s follow-up care and rehabilitation service in geriatrics at Paul-Brousse hospital (Villejuif, AP-HP). In 2019, demonstrations and strike movements already followed one another. “Everyone was at their wit’s end.
