My occasional neighbour popped down to weed and mow his lawns, unknown to him I had already done it for him. He is a GP with a practice in the western suburbs of Paris and has been doing two days a week on a Covid ward in the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital. He showed me photos of him and colleagues in their protection and no two were the same, mostly ad hoc and improvised. He uses a Stihl visor just like the ones he and I use when brushcutting, anti-fog, anti-glare lexan, stiff, light and comfortable to wear for hours.
I asked him if it was sweaty working in plastic clothes, what do you think was his reply. He explained that the visors provided were wobbly garbage that fogged up and became unclipped from the headband and the headband was like a saw blade. His colleagues sought their own visors out.
I am too polite to have asked what reason he put on his attestation to travel 170km to relax for two days and cut grass but as he is a docteur he is probably seen as the nearest thing to a living deity at the moment and is invisible to police.
