I've been wondering why not a lot/nothing has been heard on the BBC about how France is coping with Covid.
Dreadfully sad.

"What other reason can there be?"
Maybe not all methods of transmission have been discovered yet, this being a work in progress effort.
Some are coming at things from a different angle altogether:

A racist virus?

Another reason: //Critics say blanket statements on isolating the elderly forget that non-white families are more likely to live as an extended unit, and may not be able to isolate away from one another.
In fact, NHS officials have said Muslim families are particularly vulnerable due to their social habits (i.e eating, praying and living together). //

From what various friends in France have told me, people are respecting the draconian lockdown because it's being so heavily policed. Even tiny hamlets in the back of beyond are getting visits from the gendarmerie and last weekend road-blocks/checkpoints were set up on all major roads out of towns and cities to stop "le grand départ" for Easter. So the number of deaths is surprising and alarming.
From the article (I'm not sure how reliable it is):
There is space for 115 people in this home. Over the past month, 25 of the residents have died as the virus swept through it, passing from one person to another.....
…..The French health ministry spent weeks announcing the number of people who had died of the virus in hospital, but pointedly failed to include those who had died in care homes in its official statistics.
Now, the statistics have changed in a stark, bleak way. Thousands of deaths, at homes like Couarôge, have now been added.

//Britain’s Muslims are amongst the hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic….This needs to be recognised more broadly before it is too late…..Many Muslims live in extended families, often, like my household, with three generations under one roof. This means there are a higher number of carriers who can (and often will) infect an elderly relative. An older person cannot effectively self-isolate when they are living in close quarters with their children, grand-children and perhaps even extended family.//

This would apply to Muslim families in the UK, France, or anywhere else. As the author (a Muslim himself) says, “This needs to be recognised more broadly before it’s too late”.

Italy, Spain and France. All countries which are very touchy feely, with kisses on both cheeks when they meet anybody they know, and yes large families of mixed age groups together on a regular basis. Difficult to give up social habits of a lifetime. It doesnt surprise me that there numbers are so high.
There have also been numerous attacks on the Police in France, when they try to enforce the lockdown. Mainly "youths" congregating for football matches, motorcycle rodeos, parties, etc. They have in some cases encircled the police in gangs of up to 40, forcing the Police to use smoke grenades and even, it is reported, stun grenades to break free. Paris, Yvelines, Mantes-la-Jolie, Les Mureaux, Bordeaux and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, have all seen major disturbances.
