My head hurts imagining what a real crisis would do if people are panicking over this.
Agreed that Paris is pretty much business as usual except that there aren’t many tourists. I walk past Trocadéro every morning and where lots of Asian couples would be taking wedding photographs now it is mostly locals on their way to work. It is also quite difficult, but not completely impossible, to find hand sanitiser. Masks I didn’t try.
We were in London last weekend and you’ve got to admire the Brits for their keep calm and carry on vibe – while here people are somewhat concerned, over there it seemed they couldn’t care less.
