Here is the infection in the LSS housing

Four days before France imposed its curfew on March 17, Parisian Jean-Christophe Nabères, 32, went to a party.

Rumors that the entire country would be closed soon had already begun to subside. But the party was planned for a long time and no thought was given to organizing it. Just a few days after the party, he and several of the other members started having symptoms of covid-19.

– I had to cough, and a very, very high fever, around 40 degrees. After a week, the fever had gone down, but one morning I woke up and noticed that the coffee tasted nothing. He had lost both the taste and the smell. It was very uncomfortable, he tells the TT broadcast in Paris.

Since then, Jean-Christophe Nabères has been quarantined, meaning that only grocery stores, pharmacies, tobacco shops, banks, and post offices are kept open, in all seriousness. The French have only been allowed to go outdoors to get “society-critical” jobs, buy or exercise for up to an hour a day, and then had to be able to present written certificates for their cases.

– The first two weeks I didn’t go out, not even to the garbage can. I was very afraid of infecting others, says Jean-Christophe Nabères.

He and his girlfriend got used to a 60 square meter life with a balcony pretty quickly.

– Anyway, I work a lot from home, but I’ve had a lot of projects for myself during this time. I have been doing yoga etc. Almost not to get everything she wanted, she laughs and nods at the piano that she couldn’t turn off.

He thinks that the Swedish strategy, less deprived of liberty, seems risky.

– Liberty under responsibility is good, but it is important that everyone take responsibility. Do Swedes do it? Personally, I think it’s risky considering how little we know about the virus, both in terms of incubation time and immunity.

Human resources consultant Floriane Barjault, 29, has a form with her when she jogs around the Eiffel Tower. During the quarantine period, she used the exercise certificate twice a week. She admires the Swedish strategy, but says it would never have worked in France.

– Such a solution fits the Nordic way of thinking. It would never have worked in France for people who don’t respect the laws and regulations in the same way here, he notes, noting the big party that took place in Paris for “one last night in freedom” the night the touch of remains.

– The government had warned people that the rules could be stricter if they did not comply, but they ignored it anyway. That is why we have to have a quarantine here, she says.

In late April, just a few days after France reached the peak of covid-19 deaths, police were allowed to disperse a group of dozens of Parisians who had stopped and began dancing to the music. it was heard in a square from a balcony in Montmartre. The government was furious.

“Charles”, who does not want to give his real name at risk of being fined, belongs to Parisians who have broken strict restrictions. In his case, it was love rather than fatigue quarantined. In late November, he became friends with his girlfriend, and neither of them wanted to force the new relationship into joint quarantine after just four months together.

– I had just moved into a 30-square-meter apartment when the quarantine went into effect, so it wasn’t immediately optimal, he says.

– My girlfriend had also read an article about new couples in quarantine together in England and half of the relationships ended in disaster. So we decided to avoid it.

But there was never any talk of stopping being seen. Instead, Charles managed to provide valid certificates for two addresses, his and his girlfriend’s, and has since crossed the River Seine almost daily.

– I have a certificate in each pocket, so when I reach the middle I only change which pocket I pick up the certificate in, he says.

He emphasizes that he does not see himself as a quarantined rebel.

– We simply know each other so as not to expose anyone to unnecessary risks.

At the beginning of the quarantine period, however, he made the mistake of moving out without a certificate. He got caught almost immediately and was fined € 130.

“But it was worth it,” he says, smiling.
