France 24: Macron to give televised address as France's coronavirus death toll climbs

French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to give a televised address to the nation at 20h French time (GMT+1) on Thursday, as the death toll climbed to 48 and amid speculation that the government will move its coronavirus response up a gear to Phase 3, the highest response level.

Ahead of Macron’s address, France has already stepped up its response to the virus threat. On Wednesday, Health Minister Olivier VĂ©ran said the government had decided, for several weeks starting today, to ban visits to all the country's retirement homes, elderly people being the most exposed to the coronavirus.

WNU Editor: The news coverage from France is completely opposite to the coverage in the U.S.. The situation in France is far worse than what it is in the U.S., and the French government is only responding now. But the news coverage is positive, focused on the health crisis, the unity of the government to impose measures to limit the spread, and the additional measures that need to be imposed.

WNU .. agreed..
all over the world, except in the US, the response is the same: "we work on this together, no politicking, lets not panick"...

in the US, many on the left and media (often the same) jump on your president and try to make money through getting more viewers in the midst of a pandemic. This is insane. Your media is insane. Your political system is insane. No country is as divide as you. You are sick (on the left).

I'm European and I get to watch this sh*t show over there OVER AND OVER AND OVER again and you guys in the US, you lefties are just not right but you don't realise it because you keep watching the same sh*t "news" over and over and then think Fox news is bad. I receive all programs here and by far - not even comparable - CNN and MSNBC are pure toxicity almost designed to cause a civil, race, gender war. Madness to watch these channels (you basically give people who want to divide your nation money).. good luck with that
