LA VIE EN LOCK DOWN

It’s been a harrowing year for all. Some countries are bracing for even more lockdown measures in light of rising COVID-19 cases more than 365 days since this nightmare started.

Vaccines have slowly made it into the fold—definitely much more quickly in some countries than others as to be expected—but the end does not yet seem near for many of us.

I’m going to share with you the situation in France today, and how the country is aiming to deal with the pandemic. It’s been a slippery slope for the French since the beginning of this crisis, and we have remained in the top five of the Coronavirus World-O-Meter count more times than you can imagine.

I’m not underestimating the plight of the Philippines in light of the pandemic, of course. I merely want to offer a glimpse into what is happening elsewhere.

BIG NUMBERS

As of today, Easter Sunday this year, about 4,822,470 total COVID cases have been reported, registering a total of +66,794 new cases in the last 24 hours. That’s 73 percent of the highest recorded peak recorded on November 7, which had +86,852 new cases.

As of today, there are a total of 4,426,128 active cases here. There have also been 96,650 deaths, with 185 reported overnight. The death toll in nursing homes are at 26,076, and 70,574 people have died in hospitals.

In France, 29,356 (+470) people are in the hospital, including 5,341 (+68) serious cases in ICU.
