TESTIMONY
The total number of coronavirus deaths has now risen to 29,319 in France since the start of the epidemic, including 18,935 in hospital. Less than 1,000 people are currently in intensive care and for the moment the epidemic shows no sign of a second wave. A context that would almost make us forget the importance of barrier gestures. In Paris, in shops and transport, some point to the relaxation since the deconfinement. "I screw up when I see people's behavior," says Michael, a newspaper salesman in the 15th arrondissement.

"The people who really respected the barrier gestures - distances, wearing a mask - from the second phase did not respect much anymore, in the sense that there were four of them entering the shop.

"Now we have to play the little sheriff a bit to tell people to wait outside but they don't understand, are quite aggressive. On the whole, it's pretty tense."

In transport, everyday life quickly caught up with prevention. Pascal, a nurse in a Parisian hospital, still does not return from the nonchalance of certain passengers. "He almost got into an argument between two people because one was almost sitting opposite the other," he said. "'Why don't you have your mask? Why are you getting enough there?' Suddenly the distancing is obsolete. It's a bit of a shame, because it's not over. The nurse does not hesitate to let two or three metro trains pass if he is not sure that he can keep his distance from the other passengers.
