00:00My name is Ricardo Abdalá, I live in Paris and I was confined from March 14 to March 11.
00:50Well, in Paris the confinement was less strict than in other places.
00:55My parents were always allowed to go for a day, to do physical exercise, bike or trotage.
01:04The children were always allowed to go for a day.
01:09So I think that's an important point because for children it's extremely difficult to be locked in.
01:18And Paris is one of the most dense cities in the world.
01:22So I think it was essential, I think it was an intelligent measure.
01:26And now, well, the studies seem to demonstrate that the children don't play a role
01:31as important as they had created in the beginning in the transmission of the virus.
01:34I think that's the most difficult times were at the beginning.
01:40We didn't know what was going to happen,
01:42we didn't know what was going to happen,
01:43we didn't know if it was going to be able to escape the provisions,
01:47how long time it was going to prolong.
01:49And I think that with the time people were getting used.
01:54Exactly.
01:56So that we were getting used to it,
01:57we were having been used to it,
01:58we were getting used to it.
01:59We had to continue with the time.
02:00But we had to pass away,
02:01and the way the tests was gone to the end of the time.
02:04And so the test was not as hard as possible.
02:06If we were told at the beginning,
02:07I would have told you,
02:07we had two months without leaving and it would have been more way.
02:19The first time in the confinement, one expected a lot of people to go to the street, but it was
02:27a midnight night, a particularly rainy day, and now people have already gone.
02:34Many important streets of Paris were converted into bicycles, which facilitates a lot of people to take public transport, because
02:46people have a lot of fear.
02:48I don't have particularly fear of the disease at this moment, I think it has advanced in the knowledge of
02:58how to treat it.
02:59I have a bit of fear that the economic liberalism and capitalism, without rules, take advantage of this situation, as
03:09has been with other crises,
03:10to impose the work inhuman levels to the workers' excuse to recover the economy.
03:17I fear the authoritarianism, the vigilance.
03:20I think, as citizens, we have to be very careful of that the fight against the pandemic
03:25is not being an excuse to restrict our rights.
03:44And, well, I think that in the middle of situations were very difficult, I had a lot of luck.
03:51I think that in the middle of the country, nothing but a 20 km from Paris, in the suburbs,
03:55there were really problems, no of the desabastecimiento, but economic problems,
04:01people who really depend completely of the social structures, of the schools,
04:07even for the food of their children, and that they were really looked at the door of hunger.
04:12And that situation was very difficult.
04:13I had a lot of luck, I had a lot of luck, I had a lot of luck.
04:17And, well, I think that we all have to learn about how to treat this virus.
04:27And, well, I would like to believe that the worst happened,
04:30I would like to believe that we know more,
04:34that in case of having to contain again an epidemic,
04:40that it could be done without need of a drastic confinement.
