People applaud the caregivers for their work, as the coronavirus ravaged communities across the country, in Ville d'Avray, outside Paris, Thursday, March 19, 2020. In France at 8pm sharp local time French citizens leaned out of windows and dangled from balconies and began applauding and whistling in unison to thank those on the front lines of the pandemic that has already claimed scores of lives. For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms. For some it can cause more severe illness, especially in older adults and people with existing health problems.
