Yes, confinement is a test for all French people.
But I remind you that # covid19 is:
1 patient every 2 sec.
1 hospitalization every 30 sec.
1 death every 4 mins.
Let's respect this confinement, let's be united.
The State will protect, and accompany.

1 hospitalization every 30 sec.
1 death every 4 mins.
Let's respect this confinement, let's be united.
The State will protect, and accompany ”.
