French hospitals overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients amid second wave that President Macron says 'will probably be more difficult and deadly than the first'

"The virus is spreading across France at a speed that even the most pessimistic did not predict," said President Macron while conceding his government's failure to stop the second wave of cases.

"The virus is spreading across France at a speed that even the most pessimistic did not predict," Macron said in a highly anticipated television address on Wednesday. Already more than 3,000 intensive care patients are forcing hospitals to scramble for beds, and "no matter what we do, nearly 9,000 people will be in intensive care by mid-November," he warned.

Factories and farms will also be allowed to operate, Macron said, and some public services will function, to limit the economic damage that would come from shutting down the country completely.
