I live in France. I know of three people who have died and of many people who’ve been ill. I’m not afraid myself, I avoid crowded areas and getting physically too close to anyone (other than my wife). I think the response by the government here in France has been acceptable, other than that for a long time there was a shortage of both masks and tests. (It would have been better to have had both a stockpile of masks available and the capacity to manufacture them here locally.)
- the__alchemist 6y agoHow old were the victims who died?
- smcphile 6y agoThey were all over 60: a man (a doctor) in his early 60’s with no apparent previous health problems; a woman in her early 70’s with a major previous problem, a cancer; and a woman in her early 90’s with no life threatening problems, but mobility issues, who was living in a retirement home (some other people in her retirement home also died from COVID-19).
