Words related to the health crisis

Unsurprisingly, queries related to the health crisis are at the top of Google searches.

You have very often typed on your keyboards the words "certificate", "curfew", "Quickly my dose" and "sanitary pass".

Same thing when it comes to formulating questions: "When Macron speaks?", "Who can get vaccinated?"

or "Contact case? What to do?"

On the Internet, the French have also looked for definitions.

On the 2021 podium: "survivalists", "half-gauge" and "hybrid".

Afghanistan and bitcoin were the themes that saw the strongest growth.

Sport has also been at the center of much research with "Euro 2021", "Ligue 1" and "Roland-Garros".

In the cultural list, for music, it is quite naturally the Daft Punk, who announced their separation in 2021, and Barbara Pravi, second at the Eurovision Song Contest, who triumph.
