#Macron heaping praise onto front-line workers fighting #Coronavirus, Second-line workers who kept transport, education and shops running, and third-line workers: Those who stayed home and did their duty by isolating

"Were we ready for this crisis? Evidently not, but we faced it"

Macron being very clear about the failing of the French government in supplying equipment, as well as the global troubles regarding this issue

France multiplied mask production by 5, and produced 10,000 supplemental respirators

Macron getting to the main point of this speech: to tell the French what is coming

The Grand-est and Ile-de-France the hospitals are saturated, and the system is under tension in the hexagone and abroad

The current strict rules will be continued until Monday 11 May, as the conditions required in order to slow the spread of the virus and to free up spaces in ICU units across the country.

But, this is only possible if we all continue to do our duty

Stresses that the rules really must be followed, especially as they're showing their efficacity

Asks all elected officials to help ensure that the rules are the same across France

Wants to ensure that all individuals with chronic illnesses can continue to be treated, as the Coronavirus is not the only threat to human life.

Hospitals and retirement homes to be able to allow visits for specific reasons

Measures for unemployment support to be continued and reinforces, and have protected 8 million employees so far as well as numerous businesses

modest families, especially with children, students abroad living far from their families, will receive support.

Next Wednesday a council will meet to decide on future financial support.

11 Mai will see the progressive reopening of schools, nurseries, colleges and universities.

Sorry, not universities (ignore that)

shopping centres, festivals, events etc not to be opened or run immediately, will be delayed

From 11th Mai there will be a new organisation put in place, and France will be able to test all citizens showing symptoms across France.

Those with the virus will be quarantined, taken into care, and supported by a doctor

Borders will remain closed

Massive investment in research and development will be coming and will be announced soon

Macron ends his speech by stating that he shared "what we know, and what we do not know"

"With humility, we need to decide to react"

"we must proceed with calm and courage, but what I know my dear compatriots, is that our country stands solidaire, with a common goal. We said that we were an undisciplined country, but here we respect the rules"

"In the fact of this unseen menace, here we are solidaire, fraternal, united. Citizens of a country who face, debate, who discuss and continue democratic life....who stay united"

"This should fill us with hope"

"It is our responsible to build solidarity and new cooperation"

"It will come to us in the future weeks to prepare the future"

Macron now talking about rebuild independent agriculture, manufacturing and French electrical industries

Currently talking about the chance for the French people (and probably Europe) to reinvent ourselves, create a new, french project that will create a reason to live together.

Macron will compose this new plan in the weeks to come

"We will find better days, my compatriots"

"look after yourselves and each other, and together we will hold firm. Vive la Republique. Vive la France"
