I received this email yesterday from Eric Bouvet:
“Still not a sale, a demoralizing month’s work, but hey: I made another small story: the 5C staircase, the people in my building confined to their doorstep and what they think about it.” Eric
Once again, the photos are great!
The 5C Staircase
1st Floor
C511
Olivier 44 years old
Not everyone measures the same way, it bothers me that not everyone plays the game. I’m afraid of what it will give the next few days even when we have not reached the top of the curve. I find it hypocritical to applaud hospital staff when others ask them to leave their homes for fear of being infected.
With children it’s not easy.
Marion 41 years old
This is a period which widens inequalities even more, especially with regard to children for studying, between parents who may or may not help, and digital equipment which is not the same in every home.
Above all it makes me question our notion of freedom.
I am angry with the government too, everything is always managed in emergency, nothing is anticipated.
Emma 9 years old
I think the problem is growing racism, as if humans because they were Chinese all had the virus. While they are humans like everyone else.
Jules 5 years old
I’m not bored at all, I love staying at home.

Blandine 47 years old
What bothers me is the job. We cannot work, and in addition we are not employees. With Christophe we have a small private company, last year was a bad year so our income does not allow us to pay the rent. So ? what follows?
Otherwise I can go out for an hour so it’s fine.
Christophe 42 years old
I’m afraid for my job. Otherwise I am a homebody so I feel good.
Mattéo 13 years old
I can’t see my friends.
C522
Michel 91 years old
This is my third war so I’m used to it. World War II, Indochina where I was a sailor and now this one.
I play chess and cards, it does not bother me. It’s a difficult time but you have to be optimistic.
Jo 87 years old
The most disturbing thing is not seeing my children and my grandchildren. But they call us. Not being in the countryside bothers me.
C523
Marie Cécile 51 years old
I do not suffer from this situation. I continue to work as a psychiatric nurse. But social life is lacking, yes, I spend a lot of time on the phone.

Malika 47 years old
I don’t feel free, the air is not the same, when I go out I don’t breathe the same way. Admittedly, people respect the distances at the entrance of the stores, but on the shelves its a total mess….
Adrien 26 years old
For me it’s okay, it’s a given time to take care of oneself, do things that you don’t usually have time to do, train online, set up projects, take the time to play sports. Otherwise for social life we can all talk to each other with facetime so it’s okay.

Christian 71 years old
I had surgery not too long ago so I can’t go out, and that bothers me because I’m more likely to get the virus. I am skeptical about the release from this confinement.
Fabienne 61 years old
That there is no screening, it bothers me, not knowing if I am infected or not. Every time we go out we are potentially contaminated. It’s good to live with the basics.
C542
Mélanie 40 years old
It’s very complicated to combine remote working, activities, school monitoring and baby sitting. It gives us dense days. Fortunately, the confinement is not total, we are in a neighborhood with wide spaces, it allows us to be able to enjoy taking the children out a bit without meeting too many people. But I miss my sport, it was my escape.
Nicolas 41 years old
We have a fast pace, we go to bed late and get up early, it is difficult to manage with three young children. 5 in a small three-room apartment without balconies we bicker a lot, and it’s normal when we are locked up and shut away.

Serge 84 years old
I don’t mind at all. I have work and I am not tempted to go elsewhere. There will be an aftermath, as with wars, maybe people will be in good shape, will have more desire to work…
Marie Claire 83 years old
I find it absurd not to respect the vital reflexes of common sense. Lots of people are going to die and nothing is done for them. Even young people who run almost naked, they will get sick, it is irresponsible. Otherwise I take care of my roses on the terrace, we are lucky to be here.

Jean Pierre 72 years old
To the hospital
C553
Alain 53 years old
Our duty is to help the most disadvantaged, there are homeless people on the street and I have a free room, I can accommodate them, but I am afraid. For my family. Psychologically it is hard, for children it is not normal, it is a permanent fight. you have to have the inner strength to hold on. But going out is a risk, you cannot touch anything.
Marie-Thérèse 56 years old
Faced with misfortune in relation to our Christian convictions, now is the time to show our faith. The homeless are on the streets, even if there are emergency medical centers to welcome them, they cannot be forced to do so, it is based on volunteering. Otherwise in the old people home in which I work it is fine for the moment, but there is a lack of equipment.
C554
Régis, 49 years old
Confinement, permanent promiscuity, not being able to enjoy the city.
Concern for elderly and sometimes isolated relatives. Not being able to spontaneously exchange, mess around on everything and nothing with friends and colleagues.
Zakia 45 years old
Distance from family and concern for loved ones.
Confinement to which is added the requirements for maintaining professional and school activities.
Nour 17 years old
I am worried about the progress of the end of the year exam
Nahel 11 years old
Not being able to see my friends, invite them. Not going out to go to the cinema, to the restaurant…
Farah 6 years old
Not being able to see my friends and my school mistress, I miss her.
