Situation in France as for now :
- Country on lock down since March 17th - curfew at 22PM since March 21st
- Going out is not allowed except for : buying food once a week, going to medical appointments, jogging 1km, taking the dogs out once a day around the house.
- "non vital" companies have closed.
- Public transport less and less available - Travels not allowed. Beach and open markets closed.
- Minister of Justice decided to free 5000 inmates who were close to release date.
- Our medical corps are going nuts, they don't have masks or even hydroalcoholic solutions - People are encouraged to not wear masks and give them to medics. Even cops are unauthorized to wear masks.
- A scandal have occured a few days ago because former Health minister gave an interview saying that she knew that all this situation would have happened eventually and made President Macron aware back in January. She said he didn't seem to care and was only focus on economic consequences. He even encouraged people to chill and go out to cinema, theaters, concerts etc on March 7th. He refused to report local elections on March 15th.
- First Minister said on TV yesterday that lock down will last a few weeks and schools won't be reopening before May 4th.
- A military hospital has opened yesterday to help dealing with covid positive patients.
- Even if we are on lock down there's lot of mess because President Macron tells people to stay home at all cost but in the meantime he asks people to go to work (????) Even TV journalists are lost - Lots of very funny memes about this situation on Twitter
- Due to exceptionnal traffic on Amazon France, they have now decided to focus on food and house supplies only - All other categories (sold and ship by amazon) are showing unavailable on the website (except for preorders).
- Disney+ was supposed to lauch today but french government asked them to report the opening until April 7th because of heavy internet traffic.
- Twitter trending for days #IlsSavaient meaning "TheyKnew" and majority of people ask for a second French Revolution after the end of the epidemic
AFAIK, i was told yesterday that my 13yo daughter's cancer is spreading and she needs chemo. I don't even know how to proceed as they focus on covid positive patients and we don't have enough medical staff. They have asked retired doctors to go back to work to help.
This all situation is a nightmare. Seriously.
Anyways, i hope you are all safe guys.
Take care of yourselves and your loved ones. We will get through this together
NOTE/ All medical staff are absolutely categorical : pets can't carry COVID-19. They can't contamine humans.
