At the moment in France, but in Europe generally, we are facing an influenza epidemic. Many people are sniffing, many have sore throats. This year the "flu", it has been announced, appears to be particularly vicious.
The net result that can be expected is that there will be more than usual number of deaths among the elderly and frail ! Social services, hospitals in particular, have been allerted to prepare for this expected emergency.
Politiciens have done all they can, social services are there to cater for a normal crisis. What they know is that the more pensioners who do not survive the crisis, who die in fact, the better it is for the Exchequer !
There would be less pensioners and less pensions to pay and there will be more Inheritance Tax receivable on estates passing to those who inherit. Rented accomodations, Council flats for example, would be freed-up ! Heirs are also compensated in their grief, but then taxed on their new riches !
All this would be a political windfall if it happens well before the next General Election !!! It "arranges" the presentation of statistics !!!
One can understand the politicians who are reluctant to comment !!!
