It's inevitable when you have to meet so many people everyday

A virus that doesn’t discriminate. 

Exactly.

Like clockwork, it kills between 1 out of every 100000 to 400000 people who get it, no matter what their race or religion is.

He has to be careful. His wife is in the vulnerable category.

Even if one is careful, they can still catch it. But at least being careful drastically reduces one's chance of catching this disease. It may have been caused by a slip up on Macarons part, or someone not doing their job properly, or even any close immediate family members/friends that slipped up around him.

A vaccine is available now, so he shouldn't be in too much danger anymore. Plus they have a national healthcare system...

I wish him well, for his health, but I wish him out of the job ASAP.

Tuesday night, he had at least 2 dozens of guests at his table up to "later than midnight".

Teleworking is compulsory, not for him ? He does not know of Zoom ? There is a 8 pm curfew, not for him ? Restaurants are closed except for take-out before 8 pm, why is the Elysée's dining hall not closed ? Parties with meals/drinks for more than 6 guests are illegal, not for him ?

 a slip up on Macarons part,

Not a skip... a shift of tectonic scale. Don't believe I picked the one case. It's his everyday lifestyle to ignore at 99% the rules he imposes on people. Most of us were wondering if had not already had the Covid without telling (many immoral French politicians have done that).

If MPs and Senators had guts, they'd ask his empeachment tomorrow morning. A problem is Larcher would be interim president and he is just as disgusting.

He didn’t follow the science.

Your evidence to support this assertion is what? The article clearly states that he has followed sanitary protocols.

If following the science prevents the spread of the virus and Macron has the virus- isn’t it obvious? Just because a public official says they follow the protocols and rules they expect others to abide by doesn’t necessarily mean that you should believe them when they say they are. We have seen quite a bit of that lately.

What kind of coincidence!! Covid will first make Trump and now Macron affected. Why has Xi Jinping been out of danger so far? Is this a policy that would impact the strongest nations?

As well as the Chinese presence in Marintine in scrubbing other countries' sovereignty, it is now an old practise to try to trap the UK database using spy in foreign companies and banks. China is seeking to bow down the strongest leaders with a high economy with its biological weapon.
