  • 23 March 2020. Montreuil Sur Mer, Pas de Calais, France. <br />
Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
A woman wearing a face mask to help protect herself from coronavirus infection fills her shopping trolley at Leclerc supermarket in Attin near Montreuil Sur Mer. Numbers entering the store at any one time are restricted to try and maintain 'social distancing,' in an effort to halt the spread of the virus. 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.<br />
<br />
Montreuil Sur Mer was the headquarters of the British Army under Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig from March 1916 to April 1919. Over 1,200 year old, the ancient fortified  town with its high ramparts has endured through history, surviving the plague and King Henry VIII's invasion of France in 1544 when the Duke of Norfolk under Henry VIII's command laid a disastrous siege to the town which held firm until Norfolk was forced to withdraw in 1545. Residents are confident the ancient town can survive the coronavirus too. <br />

  • 1 July 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Earl Jackson, City Park. 58 yr old Jackson moved to New Orleans from Georgia in October 2005 in search of work. He moved to the unauthorised  migrant workers encampment at City Park, where many workers and drifters lived in tents and trailers. He slept on the outdoor couch the previous night. The camp was forcibly emptied and the residents evicted under court order just after midnight on July 1st. Jackson is the last resident, picking his way through the remnants of the camp. Life has been tough for Jackson, living in a tent in the park next to a creek with snakes, spiders, alligators and mosquitos. His tools were stolen early on, his ride towed. His health has deteriorated. He has a septic spider bite inside his thigh, small flies dine on wounds on his legs, he must shower and shave under an outdoor hose. The only possessions he has left are all kept in a shopping cart. The city removed the mobile toilets forcing Jackson to defecate in the woods. He does not know where he will go now. He will likely end up amongst the city's homeless population.

Lakeside Mall. A potentially controversial/satirical Christmas display is part of the main festive attraction at the mall created by local designer Frank Evans. Part of the display, (complete with a miniature train ridden by children) features an 'Affordable Health Care Hospital.' (Bottom right of image). Standing in line are model customers apparently holding out paperwork, possibly health care bills. Also included is a hearse, coffin, corpse and a strange looking man in a bright orange jump suit along with what would appear to be a migrant worker wearing a sombrero sitting in the back of a pickup truck. Evans was also responsible for a fairly controversial display in 2005 following hurricane Katrina.<br />

Lakeside Mall. A potentially controversial/satirical Christmas display is part of the main festive attraction at the mall created by local designer Frank Evans. Part of the display, (complete with a miniature train ridden by children) features an 'Affordable Health Care Hospital.' Standing in line are model customers apparently holding out paperwork, possibly health care bills. Also included is a hearse, coffin, corpse and a strange looking man in a bright orange jump suit along with what would appear to be a migrant worker wearing a sombrero sitting in the back of a pickup truck. Evans was also responsible for a fairly controversial display in 2005 following hurricane Katrina.<br />

Coronavirus - COVID-19 in Northern France.<br />
<br />
Easing restrictions on local markets. An elderly lady stands outside a now closed hairdresser wearing a mask to help protect her from coronavirus in Hesdin.<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 />

A woman wearing a face mask to help protect herself from coronavirus infection leaves Leclerc supermarket in Attin near Montreuil Sur Mer. Numbers entering the store at any one time are restricted to try and maintain 'social distancing,' in an effort to halt the spread of the virus. Anyone leaving their home must carry with them an 'attestation,' in a effect a self administered permit to allow them out of the house.

<br />
Montreuil Sur Mer was the headquarters of the British Army under Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig from March 1916 to April 1919. Over 1,200 year old, the ancient fortified  town with its high ramparts has endured through history, surviving the plague and King Henry VIII's invasion of France in 1544 when the Duke of Norfolk under Henry VIII's command laid a disastrous siege to the town which held firm until Norfolk was forced to withdraw in 1545. Residents are confident the ancient town can survive the coronavirus too. <br />
