Current toll is over 1100 in France, and it is only a beginning ? 2500 or more people in hospital in my ? region ? over 500 of which in intensive care units, which is a terrible strain on the system. At least 4 doctors have died to this day. Hope you can avoid this over there. Keep confined, for you, and others.
