She cannot go to hospital because the hospitals are now overwhelmed and there a serious lack of testing capability. The streets are in lock-down by law, but some people are ignoring it. The disease appears to be a lot more widespread than these figures are showing...

I don't think we will ever know how many people got this virus. Like the 1919 flu, the final figures will be just estimates.

  Best of luck to your daughter!  Keep us posted on her condition.

   I just looked and currently France is showing 118 cases per million people. If the hospitals are overloaded now I dread to think what it could be like in a week or two.  Same for most countries.

   There are 1846 new cases in the US today. That's over 30% increase from yesterday. It looks like we're starting that upward swing.

I deal with banks all the time (our products are often used to encrypt transactions).  I 10000% agree with the above statement.  If you saw what I see every day, you'd take all of your money out of the bank, cut up all of your credit cards, and put your cash in your pillow...

Don't worry about US elections. They'll work themselves out. Primaries are at the state level, but in the end it's all a mechanism for the national party to pick a candidate. In the event the primaries are sufficiently disrupted, the fallback mechanism would be each party's leadership picking their candidate directly. Most likely Biden and Trump, given what's happened to date.

In the case of the President/Vice President, their current term still ends on Jan 20th, period. They only get another term if they're elected to it. It would take a constitutional amendment to change that. If for any reason the electoral process didn't happen, it would invoke a line of succession for an acting president until elections can be held. That could actually result in acting President Pelosi, believe it or not. Speaker of the House would be the top of that list. No, I don't expect those of you from elsewhere to know such details. Way too many US citizens are ignorant as well.

Now lets get back to the real subject rather than straying into what could easily become a political discussion.

Can you get her back to Australia? Even being held on an island for two weeks, having medical care is better than staying in France and waiting for it to progress.

France is all border closed, inclusive they have imposed controls to trucks , at first,the trucks had free access.

Now, i don't know like France  will keep the lockdown  in the zones "no-go".

Wow. The German Big Brother sounds like some heavy-duty viewing - the have been 'in isolation' for six weeks.

From reading tweets about it, tonight the producers sat them down and said: "Well, um, there is a pandemic going on.... ... here are some videos from friends and family."
