Code words used by woman in France and Europe suffering to from domestic violence to alert their pharmacist of domestic violence especially during lockdown times during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
In France, during the COVID-19 Pandemic drug stores and pharmacies are open. Victims of domestic abuse are even more threatened during the current lockdown and have few places for which they can provide an excuse to go to. Many victims of domestic violence have started using the code words "mask 19" to convey their situation to their pharmacists since "mask 19" conveys the domestic violence massage and is a cue to report the problem to authorities. In the US it would be important to make sure that the pharmacist understood what "mask 19" means, especially if they look and act clueless and present you with a mask.

In the US, to dedemocratize ore democracy is as old as our constitution. From the start woman, most blacks, and even non-land owners were not allowed to vote . Senators were originally appointed by politicians, and the president has never been chosen directly by the people.
