SERIES (6/12). As 2020 draws to a close, Le Parisien-Today en France rewinds this year I of the Covid, in order to better understand this


Empty.

Who would have thought that one day there would be no more waiting to access the monument symbol of our country and its capital?

The Covid-19 has emptied all the sites of the world of its visitors.

Raid.

On March 17, the first confinement was declared in our country.

An unprecedented measure that amazes young and old, whose schools will also be closed.

In supermarkets, which have the right to remain open, people rush to the shelves, so as not to miss anything at a time when going out is prohibited.

No more noodles and toilet paper!

Sewn.

We made fun of those who had it, like the Asians traveling to France.

Today, it has become inconceivable not to wear a mask because it is our first prevention tool to protect ourselves, and many seamstresses have made them.

Despite this, the burials have not stopped but they take place in small groups.

Robbed.

Masks, but also hydroalcoholic gel, became scarce at the start of the epidemic.

It's hard to find any.

So much so that pharmacies find themselves forced to report that they no longer have any.

Alone on the sand.

Eyes in the water?

In any case, not in those of its neighbor!

We must also respect the safety distances!

Plastic partitions are appearing in retirement homes.

Residents are not allowed to receive their families.

No more hugs, kisses or handshakes!

This idea, which can be offensive, at least allows them to see their loved ones ...

Hospital.

As in the first wave in April, patients are transferred in October by means of special TGVs or medical planes to establishments in less overcrowded regions.

Caregivers "cosmonauts" take care of them.

The virus has definitely turned the planet upside down.

Our habits, our daily lives, our certainties.

Everywhere and for all ages.

Including for babies.

In April, in Thailand, infants are fitted with visors.

A first !

One way to protect them as much as possible from Covid.

The United States remains, in numbers, the most bereaved country in the world.

Its president, Donald Trump, has always played down the pandemic.

His successor, Joe Biden (photo), who will officially take office in January, is changing dramatically.

The president-elect, 78, was vaccinated against Covid-19 on Monday, December 21.
