  • 02 April 2020. Hesdin, Pas de Calais, France. <br />
Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
The almost deserted streets of Hesdin, a usually bustling and vibrant town, especially on Thursday's when a large outdoor market fills the 'Place D'Armes' and side streets.  Despite an easing of restrictions on local markets the streets were mostly empty. <br />
<br />
For the first time since government restrictions came into force, the main market in Hesdin has been permitted to re-open. The historical town has hosted a usually vibrant and bustling market since the middle ages. With stall holders limited and many suffering huge financial losses, those selling food today were happy to be back to work despite the ongoing risks posed by coronavirus.<br />
<br />
Shoppers, many wearing masks were mostly maintaining their social distancing with people happy to be out and able to meet and talk with other people. A lot of shoppers were elderly people who have been trapped in their homes for weeks. One shopper complained of 'la misère,' - the misery of this virus and being stuck in her home. <br />
<br />
Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house. If stopped by the police, one must produce a valid permit along with identification papers. Failure to do so is punishable with heavy fines. Movement in France has been heavily restricted by the government and today's market re-opening was a brief return to normalcy for many able to escape the confines of their homes.<br />

Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house.

Movement in France has been heavily restricted by the government and today's market re-opening was a brief return to normalcy for many able to escape the confines of their homes.<br />

Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
The almost deserted streets of Hesdin despite an easing of restrictions on local markets. For the first time since government restrictions came into force, the main market in Hesdin has been permitted to re-open. The historical town has hosted a usually vibrant and bustling market since the middle ages. With stall holders limited and many suffering huge financial losses, those selling food today were happy to be back to work despite the ongoing risks posed by coronavirus.<br />

Wayne Hebert of Ruth's seafood at the Westwego Fish market just outside New Orleans. All seafood prices have risen 25% in the past 7 days alone as stocks run low thanks to closed fishing grounds affected by oil pollution. Today was the opening day of the inshore shrimp season. The season was closed before it could open thanks to BP's disastrous environmental catastrophe out in the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 210,000 barrels of oil per day is leaking uncontrollably into the Gulf because of the explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform 46 miles out to sea. The closure of fishing grounds both east and west of the Mississippi river outflow is crippling thousands of local fishermen and all affiliated businesses and families who rely on the seafood industry. None of the shrimp or other seafood offered at the market are fresh catch from today. Everything has been through the IQF (Instant Quick Freeze) process and is seafood caught earlier in the season and brought from storage freezers in Venice and Grand Isle. Stocks are running low. With no new catches, the market will be forced to rely on farmed shrimp shipped in from Texas and Georgia. Local traders refuse to stock Chinese import fish raised with growth hormones, pesticides, fungicides and other contaminants widely found in Chinese farm raised seafood. Many fear losing their jobs and everything they own as a result of BP's Gulf Coast environmental disaster.<br />

Ashley Palmisano, a 22 year old single mother of two sells shrimp from A&B's seafood at the Westwego Fish market just outside New Orleans. Ashley worries that she may not have a job to go to in a couple of weeks. All seafood prices have risen 25% in the past 7 days alone as stocks run low thanks to closed fishing grounds affected by oil pollution. Today was the opening day of the inshore shrimp season. The season was closed before it could open thanks to BP's disastrous environmental catastrophe out in the Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 210,000 barrels of oil per day is leaking uncontrollably into the Gulf because of the explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform 46 miles out to sea. The closure of fishing grounds both east and west of the Mississippi river outflow is crippling thousands of local fishermen and all affiliated businesses and families who rely on the seafood industry. None of the shrimp or other seafood offered at the market are fresh catch from today. Everything has been through the IQF (Instant Quick Freeze) process and is seafood caught earlier in the season and brought from storage freezers in Venice and Grand Isle. Stocks are running low. With no new catches, the market will be forced to rely on farmed shrimp shipped in from Texas and Georgia. Local traders refuse to stock Chinese import fish raised with growth hormones, pesticides, fungicides and other contaminants widely found in Chinese farm raised seafood. Many fear losing their jobs and everything they own as a result of BP's Gulf Coast environmental disaster.<br />

The Shrimp Lot in Westwego just outside New Orleans. Ordinarily the market would be crammed with people on a Friday aftrenoon. Today it is virtually deserted. Incomes have crashed as all seafood prices have risen over 30% in the past 4 weeks alone as stocks run low thanks to closed fishing grounds affected by oil pollution. BP's disastrous environmental catastrophe out in the Gulf of Mexico threatens  the livelihood of many thousands of workers affiliated to the fishing industry in Louisiana. Earnings are down as much as  50% of those pre BP's oil disaster. Thousands of barrels of oil per day continues to leak into the Gulf because of the explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform 46 miles out to sea. The closure of fishing grounds both east and west of the Mississippi river outflow is crippling thousands of local fishermen and all affiliated businesses and families who rely on the seafood industry. None of the shrimp or other seafood offered at the market are fresh catch from today. Everything has been through the IQF (Instant Quick Freeze) process and is seafood caught out of state or earlier in the season and brought from storage freezers in Venice and Grand Isle. Louisiana stocks are virtually non-existent. With few new catches, the market will be forced to rely on farmed shrimp shipped in from Texas and Georgia.

BP's disastrous environmental catastrophe out in the Gulf of Mexico threatens  the livelihood of many thousands of workers affiliated to the fishing industry in Louisiana. Earnings are down as much as  50% of those pre BP's oil disaster. Thousands of barrels of oil per day continues to leak into the Gulf because of the explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform 46 miles out to sea. The closure of fishing grounds both east and west of the Mississippi river outflow is crippling thousands of local fishermen and all affiliated businesses and families who rely on the seafood industry. None of the shrimp or other seafood offered at the market are fresh catch from today. Everything has been through the IQF (Instant Quick Freeze) process and is seafood caught out of state or earlier in the season and brought from storage freezers in Venice and Grand Isle. Louisiana stocks are virtually non-existant. With few new catches, the market will be forced to rely on farmed shrimp shipped in from Texas and Georgia. Local traders refuse to stock Chinese import fish raised with growth hormones, pesticides, fungicides and other contaminants widely found in Chinese farm raised seafood. Many fear losing their jobs and everything they own as a result of BP's Gulf Coast environmental disaster.<br />

Children play on coolers full of fish at the Shrimp Lot in Westwego just outside New Orleans.  Incomes have crashed as all seafood prices have risen over 30% in the past 4 weeks alone as stocks run low thanks to closed fishing grounds affected by oil pollution.
