Hundreds of Parisians Protest France's New Covid-19 Lockdown

A few hundred people took to the streets of Paris to protest the French government's new lockdown and curfew measures aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. Mostly young men, some with yellow vests, walked through traffic calling on drivers and passers-by to join them in their fight against what they said were unfair and antidemocratic rules. The customers of the brasseries and restaurants along the route looked on, hardly distracted by the rowdy crowd. It was time for last orders. France prepared Thursday to shut down again for a month to try to put the brakes on the fast-moving coronavirus. Most said they were ready to restrict their freedoms given the rising number of virus-related deaths and COVID-19 patients filling French hospitals. The new lockdown is gentler than what France saw in the spring, but still a shock to restaurants and other non-essential businesses ordered to close their doors in one of the world's biggest economies. COVID-19 patients now fill 60% of French intensive care units, and France reported 244 virus-related deaths in a single day Wednesday, for a total of 35,785 since the pandemic began, among the world's highest reported tolls.
