\"\"<\/a>NON, CE N\u2019EST PAS LA GUERRE\u00a0!<\/strong><\/span>
\nNO, THIS IS NOT WAR!<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

La guerre dresse des nations les unes contre les autres. De l\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la fronti\u00e8re, le voisin devient l\u2019ennemi. On est d\u00e9cor\u00e9 si on l\u2019abat. On est passible de cour martiale si l\u2019on reste ami\u2026<\/strong>
\nWar raises nations against each other. On the other side of the border, the neighbor becomes the enemy. We are decorated if we shoot him down. We are liable to court martial if we remain friends …\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je pourrais continuer la comparaison longtemps. Une pand\u00e9mie peut toucher toute la plan\u00e8te\u00a0: il y a alors int\u00e9r\u00eat (commun) \u00e0 unir nos forces et \u00e0 combattre au coude \u00e0 coude, mais pas contre aucun autre \u00eatre humain.<\/strong>
\nI could continue the comparison for a long time. A pandemic can affect the whole planet: there is then a (common) interest in joining forces and fighting shoulder to shoulder, but not against any other human being.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

La notion de profit qui depuis toujours nous contamine devrait \u00eatre \u00e9radiqu\u00e9e\u00a0: que les laboratoires travaillent ensemble, sans se concurrencer, sans profit \u00e0 esp\u00e9rer autre que la satisfaction de faire du bon travail. En l\u2019occurence il s\u2019agit de trouver une solution pour faire reculer la maladie. C\u2019est utopique\u00a0? Bien s\u00fbr, mais les personnes d\u00e9sireuses de soigner les autres sont nombreuses, et si ces valeurs se mettaient en place il y aurait des candidats.<\/strong>
\nThe notion of profit which has always contaminated us should be eradicated: laboratories have to work together, without competing, without profit to hope other than the satisfaction of doing good work. In this case it is a question of finding a solution to roll back the disease. Is it utopian? Of course, but there are many people who want to care for others, and if these values were put in place there would be candidates.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Alors que cette catastrophe plan\u00e9taire menace l\u2019humanit\u00e9 toute enti\u00e8re, ceux qui cherchent \u00e0 s\u2019enrichir gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la pand\u00e9mie sont innombrables. Il me semble que l\u2019\u00e9tat renfloue les banques et continue \u00e0 oublier l\u2019h\u00f4pital, je n\u2019ai pas de mot pour qualifier cela. La Belgique (11.4 millions en 2018) d\u00e9bloque un milliard d\u2019euros pour les h\u00f4pitaux, la France (67 millions d\u2019habitants) 200 millions.<\/strong>
\nAs this planetary disaster threatens all of humanity, there are countless those who seek to enrich themselves through the pandemic. It seems to me that the state is bailing out the banks and continues to forget about the hospital, I have no words to describe this. Belgium (11.4 million inhabitants in 2018) releases one billion euros for hospitals, France (67 million inhabitants) 200 million.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bien s\u00fbr, la situation actuelle rappelle la guerre par quelques analogies, mais on m\u2019a appris \u00e0 appeler un chat un chat. Cette formulation volontairement fausse me rappelle les mensonges permanents de nos dirigeants.
\nC\u2019est tout de m\u00eame incroyable\u00a0! Ils ont acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des informations que le commun des mortels ne conna\u00eet pas, mais leur ego surdimensionn\u00e9 ou leur incomp\u00e9tence a retard\u00e9 les mesures qui auraient prot\u00e9g\u00e9 la plan\u00e8te enti\u00e8re\u00a0!<\/strong>
\nOf course, the current situation recalls the war by some analogies, but I was taught to call a spade a spade. This deliberately false formulation reminds me of the permanent lies of our leaders.
\nIt\u2019s still amazing! They have access to information that ordinary people do not know, but their oversized ego or incompetence has delayed the actions that would have protected the entire planet!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Paul me signale que l\u2019Allemagne dispose de 25\u00a0000 lits d\u2019h\u00f4pital avec appareils respiratoires contre 7000 en France et 5000 en Italie.<\/strong>
\nPaul reports that Germany has 25,000 hospital beds with breathing apparatus, compared to 7,000 in France and 5,000 in Italy.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Il y a une vingtaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es, un m\u00e9decin nous expliquait la catastrophe \u00e0 venir, alors que le recrutement d\u2019\u00e9tudiants en facult\u00e9 de m\u00e9decine avait baiss\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on drastique\u00a0: on voit aujourd\u2019hui les effets de ces \u00ab\u00a0\u00e9conomies\u00a0\u00bb mal plac\u00e9es.<\/strong>
\nAbout twenty years ago, a doctor explained to us the disaster to come, while the recruitment of medical school students had dropped drastically: we are now seeing the effects of these ill-placed \u00ab\u00a0savings\u00a0\u00bb.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Que vont devenir les prisonniers, les migrants entass\u00e9s dans des \u00ab\u00a0camps\u00a0\u00bb, les habitants des bidonvilles, les SDF\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nWhat will become of the prisoners, the migrants piled up in \u00ab\u00a0camps\u00a0\u00bb, the inhabitants of the slums, the homeless?\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bien s\u00fbr j\u2019exprime toute mon admiration pour le personnel soignant. Et je partage leur d\u00e9go\u00fbt, leur d\u00e9sespoir.<\/strong>
\nOf course I express my admiration for the nursing staff. And I share their disgust, their despair.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous avons pu parler avec nos ch\u00e8re petites-filles par skype, quelle chance\u00a0! Mais quand pourrons-nous les serrer dans nos bras\u00a0? Le confinement g\u00e9n\u00e8re l\u2019isolement. Combien de personnes fragiles ne vont plus pouvoir lutter contre leur d\u00e9pression\u00a0? Combien de suicides seront dus aux mesures de confinement\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nWe were able to speak with our dear granddaughters by skype, we\u2019re so lucky! But when can we hug them? Confinement generates isolation. How many fragile people will no longer be able to fight against their depression? How many suicides will be due to containment measures?\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chacun vit la crise avec sa propre sensibilit\u00e9\u00a0: ceux qui souhaitent plus que tout la survie de la plan\u00e8te se r\u00e9jouissent d\u00e9j\u00e0 de la baisse de la pollution. Pouvoir respirer dans Paris ou Lyon c\u2019est bien s\u00fbr une excellente chose. Mais notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 laborieuse n\u2019est pas faite pour ces vacances inattendues, cette vacuit\u00e9, ce vide. Travailler rapporte de l\u2019argent, et cet argent ne sert pas seulement \u00e0 acheter n\u2019importe quoi, tout le monde a besoin de certains biens de premi\u00e8re n\u00e9cessit\u00e9. \u00ab\u00a0Plus d\u2019un mois d\u2019arr\u00eat serait dramatique pour l\u2019\u00e9conomie fran\u00e7aise\u00a0\u00bb nous dit-on. Encore une confusion entre les besoins r\u00e9els et les besoins artificiels. Je me moque des industriels, mais je m\u2019inqui\u00e8te pour les travailleurs dans des situations de plus en plus pr\u00e9caires.<\/strong>
\nEveryone is experiencing the crisis with their own sensitivity: those who want the survival of the planet more than anything are already delighted by the reduction in pollution. Being able to breathe in Paris or Lyon is of course an excellent thing. But our hard working society is not made for this unexpected vacation, this vacuity, this emptiness. Working earns money, and that money is not only used to buy anything, everyone needs certain basic necessities. \u00ab\u00a0More than a month of downtime would be dramatic for the French economy,\u00a0\u00bb we are told. Another confusion between real needs and artificial needs. I don’t care about industrialists, but I worry about workers in increasingly precarious situations.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Et les besoins basiques des personnes les plus d\u00e9munies devraient \u00eatre satisfaits.<\/strong>
\nAnd the basic needs of the poorest people should be fulfilled.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Si les consommateurs de biens inutiles prennent conscience de la futilit\u00e9 de leurs achats et changent de comportement, ce sera une bonne cons\u00e9quence.<\/strong>
\nIf consumers of useless goods become aware of the futility of their purchases and change their behavior, this will be a good consequence.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ceux qui ne le savent pas encore verront que la nourriture est une des premi\u00e8res n\u00e9cessit\u00e9s (bien avant la voiture \u00e0 grosse cylindr\u00e9e). Comprendront-ils l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat des circuits courts de production\u00a0? Plut\u00f4t que des unit\u00e9s gigantesques, de petites fermes \u00e0 taille humaine seraient bien plus adapt\u00e9es.<\/strong>
\nThose who do not know it yet will see that food is one of the first necessities (long before the big-displacement car). Will they understand the value of short production circuits? Rather than gigantic units, small farms on a human scale would be much more suitable.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Une fois la pand\u00e9mie contr\u00f4l\u00e9e (est-ce possible\u00a0?), y aura-t-il une r\u00e9flexion sur la production industrielle\u00a0? Aura-t-on la bonne id\u00e9e de (re)cr\u00e9er de petites unit\u00e9s de production qui seraient capables tr\u00e8s vite de fabriquer des masques m\u00e9dicaux ou des gels d\u00e9sinfectants ou n\u2019importe quoi de n\u00e9cessaire d\u00e8s que le besoin s\u2019en fait sentir\u00a0? <\/strong>
\nOnce the pandemic has been controlled (is it possible?), will there be a reflection on industrial production? Will we have the good idea to (re)create small production units which would be able very quickly to manufacture medical masks or disinfectant gels or anything necessary as soon as the need arises?\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Je suis certaine d\u2019avoir d\u00e9j\u00e0 publi\u00e9 cette sentence qui est attribu\u00e9e \u00e0 plusieurs Am\u00e9rindiens c\u00e9l\u00e8bres\u00a0:<\/strong>
\n\u00ab\u00a0Quand ils auront coup\u00e9 le dernier arbre, pollu\u00e9 le dernier ruisseau, p\u00each\u00e9 le dernier poisson.<\/strong><\/em>
\nAlors ils s\u2019apercevront que l\u2019argent ne se mange pas.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
\nI am sure that I have already published this sentence which is attributed to several famous Native American:<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00ab\u00a0When they have cut down the last tree, polluted the last stream, caught the last fish.<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\nThen they will realize that money can not be eaten.\u00a0\u00bb\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Ce n\u2019est pas tout \u00e0 fait adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 la situation mais c\u2019est \u00e0 garder pr\u00e9sent \u00e0 l\u2019esprit\u00a0!<\/strong>
\nIt is not quite suitable for the situation but it is to be kept in mind!\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Depuis quelques ann\u00e9es notre pays ne fabrique plus ses m\u00e9dicaments, alors que les faits prouvent maintenant que les pays devraient \u00eatre autonomes pour les produits indispensables.<\/strong>
\nFor a few years now, our country has no longer manufactured its medicines, while the facts now prove that countries should be autonomous for essential products.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ne plus vouloir rentabiliser l\u2019h\u00f4pital (ni les transports, ni plus g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement tous les services dits publics) mais offrir aux citoyens des soins de qualit\u00e9, une existence de qualit\u00e9.<\/strong>
\nNo longer want to make the hospital profitable (neither transport, nor more generally all so-called public services) but offer citizens quality care, a quality existence.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ceux qui veulent changer le monde sentent bien que le moment est l\u00e0, propice, presque \u00e0 port\u00e9e de main. <\/strong>
\nThose who want to change the world feel that the time is there, favourable, almost at hand.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

D\u00e9j\u00e0, on apprend que le Covid 19 (COronaVIrusDisease2019) fait moins de victimes que la pollution en Chine\u00a0! Inqui\u00e9tude\u00a0: quand le confinement sera lev\u00e9, la production rattrapera-t-elle le retard en faisant de nouveau mourir quantit\u00e9 de victimes\u00a0?<\/strong>
\nWe have already learned that the Covid 19 (COronaVIrusDisease2019) claims fewer victims than pollution in China! Worry: when the containment is lifted, will production catch up by causing many victims to die again?\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Comme tout le monde, je suis bien s\u00fbr tr\u00e8s affect\u00e9e par la trag\u00e9die que nous connaissons. Pourtant je d\u00e9couvre, ailleurs, des gens dont la situation est bien pire que la n\u00f4tre. Paul a regard\u00e9 un d\u00e9but de reportage sur Arte <\/strong>(disponible jusqu\u2019au 19 avril en cliquant sur ce lien<\/a>, et pour les insomniaques il sera diffus\u00e9 le 25 mars \u00e0 00:10.)<\/em>
\nI am of course very affected like everyone, by the tragedy we are experiencing. However, I discover, elsewhere, people whose situation is much worse than ours. Paul watched the beginning of a report on Arte <\/strong>(available until April 19 by clicking on this link<\/a>, and for insomniacs it will be broadcast on March 25 at 12:10 am).\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Chez eux, en \u00c9thiopie, les Oromos n\u2019ont rien. Par dizaine de milliers, ils migrent vers l\u2019Arabie Saoudite, richissime contr\u00e9e o\u00f9 ils s\u2019imaginent un avenir. Mais la route est longue, p\u00e9rilleuse, impossible. Elle se pratique \u00e0 pied, faute de pouvoir payer les passeurs (\u2026). Au Y\u00e9men, l\u2019industrie migratoire est infiltr\u00e9e par les mafias locales. Les migrants oromos y deviennent des proies. Les plus pauvres sont les plus vuln\u00e9rables. D\u00e9vi\u00e9s de la route, aux prises avec des passeurs sans scrupules, ils sont tortur\u00e9s jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que leurs familles paient la ran\u00e7on, parfois ruin\u00e9es par la vente de toutes leurs terres pour sortir un fils ou une fille de l\u2019enfer des maisons de torture.\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong><\/em>
\n\u00ab\u00a0At home in Ethiopia, the Oromos have nothing. By the tens of thousands, they migrate to Saudi Arabia, a wealthy country where they imagine a future. But the road is long, perilous, impossible. It is practiced on foot, for lack of being able to pay the smugglers (\u2026). In Yemen, the migration industry is infiltrated by local mafias. Oromo migrants become prey there. The poorest are the most vulnerable. Deviated from the road, faced with unscrupulous smugglers, they are tortured until their families pay the ransom, sometimes ruined by the sale of all their land to get a son or a daughter out of the hell of the houses of torture.\u00a0\u00bb\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Nous croyons vivre un cauchemar \u2014 nous vivons un cauchemar \u2014 mais ces hommes vivent bien pire que nous. Nous n\u2019avons pas besoin de marcher pendant mille kilom\u00e8tres pour trouver des moyens d\u2019existence.<\/strong>
\nWe believe we are living a nightmare \u2014 we are living a nightmare \u2014 but these men live much worse than we do. We don\u2019t have to walk a thousand miles to find a livelihood.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Comment prendre conscience de ce qui se passe ailleurs\u00a0? Comment exiger plus d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9, et que la fraternit\u00e9 d\u00e9passe les fronti\u00e8res\u00a0? J\u2019avais beaucoup aim\u00e9 l\u2019expression \u00ab\u00a0devoir d\u2019ing\u00e9rence\u00a0\u00bb, il faudrait se la remettre en m\u00e9moire.<\/strong>
\nHow do you become aware of what is happening elsewhere? How to demand more equality, and that the brotherhood crosses borders? I really liked the expression \u00ab\u00a0duty of interference\u00a0\u00bb, it should be remembered.\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cette chronique n\u2019est pas structur\u00e9e, c\u2019est d\u00e9j\u00e0 assez p\u00e9nible de ressasser ces id\u00e9es. Mes lecteurs m\u2019en voudront peut-\u00eatre, gav\u00e9s du m\u00eame sujet\u00a0: excusez-moi. Pourtant je n\u2019ai aucune envie d\u2019\u00e9viter cette d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able obsession. Ce blog est un journal, j\u2019y raconte ce que je vis ou ce qui me passe par la t\u00eate.<\/strong>
\nThis column is not structured, it is already painful enough to rehash these ideas. My readers may be mad at me, stuffed with the same subject: excuse me.

Mardi dernier j\u2019ai bien regrett\u00e9 de ne pas publier davantage de photos. Alors je vous fais revivre tout au long de ce texte les balades racont\u00e9es la semaine derni\u00e8re, la visite de Saignon, la vir\u00e9e en v\u00e9lo au milieu des champs de lavande, retour (en longeant la gare d\u00e9saffect\u00e9e de Saignon par la piste cyclable am\u00e9nag\u00e9e sur l\u2019ancienne voie ferr\u00e9e) et enfin l\u2019exploration de Caseneuve puis de Viens. Mention sp\u00e9ciale pour ce figuier qui ne voulait pas rentrer dans mon Canon, un tronc qui tire sa substance entre la pierre et le goudron et monte jusqu\u2019au ciel\u00a0! Deux photos pour tenter d\u2019avoir une id\u00e9e de sa hauteur\u00a0!<\/strong>
\nLast Tuesday I regretted not publishing more photos. So let me relive throughout this text the rides told last week, the visit of Saignon, the bike ride in the middle of the lavender fields, return (along the disused station of Saignon by the cycle path built on the old railroad) and finally the exploration of Caseneuve then Viens. Special mention for this fig tree which did not want to enter my Canon, a trunk which draws its substance between stone and tar and goes up to the sky! Two photos to try to get an idea of its height!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
