France goes back into lockdown ahead of 3rd COVID wave

As a third wave of COVID infections believed to be driven by mutant strains of the virus explodes in Europe, France has just become the latest country to start reimposing lockdown measures, following in the footsteps of Italy, Germany and others.

After initially resisting pressure to revive lockdown measures, Paris and 16 other regions are reimposing lockdown measures on the orders of French Prime Minister Jean Castex, who was appointed to that post to manage the French government's response to the pandemic.

The measures will be in place for at least four weeks, though they will be less restrictive than the measures seen last year. Fears of the third-wave come as Europe overtakes the US as the leader in new COVID cases, while its vaccination campaign falls further behind.

Schools will remain open in the affected areas, but residents will be asked to keep their outdoor activities within a 10km radius from their homes. Non-essential shops will once again be asked to shutter, except book shops (which are needed for school, of course).

A 1900 local time curfew will be implemented, and inter-regional travel will be prohibited.

The new measures will begin Friday night, giving residents a day to prepare.

We MUST slow the spread. At all costs.

France being the land of cucks is apparently something that’s passed down each generation

[JoshLV]

Just flattening the curve

[Travis99]

It’s up to us to stop this overstep of the government.

[JoocyMane13]

The arabs there aren’t cucks though srs

2 weeks to flatten the curve has turned into 1 year to flatten the country

[A-GAME]

Flattening the croissant...

[Trillhouse]

This is gonna keep happening until they do a total lockdown; No flights in or out, shops closed, schools closed, stay at home for 2 weeks etc.

[tornister]

Such is life in Europe, Poland also goes back into lockdown (but not so strict like in France) starting tomorrow, but in our case this so called "3rd wave" is already here.

Through what?

There's nothing even going on.

Also, why isn't my beard big bushy and long by now? It's been 8 years goddamit, 8 goddamn years!

[HannoCometh]

2 weeks to flatten the curve has turned into 1 year to flatten the country

A concerted campaign to destroy humanity and Earth.

The difference now is that firearms are scarce and it would appear that resistance just can't be organized like it could previously.

Can you imagine masses of citizens "raising an army"? It just doesn't seem likely these days...

Exactly what’s happening in Canada . We have one mass slooting , I mean shooting , and Trudeau uses it as an excuse to disarm the majority of the population by banning most guns.
You have to remember,governments prefer unarmed peasants.

Not being homogenous and Feminism is a bigger barrier IMO. This is exactly why Amazon keeps track of diversity in wholefoods to make sure employees don’t form unions and fight for more rights/pay.

Lockdowns don't appear to work or work all that well. It would be nice if other ideas were tried instead.

[StrawberryTaco]

Isnt time 2 move on ? trump is gone. . . wasnt that the objective ? help us. . .

[JoshSP1985]

Just two more years

They work very well at containing a population.

#Alonetogether?

[sooby]

what do they mean by less restrictive when non-essential shops are closed, you have a 7pm curfew, can't venture outside a 10km radius, etc?

maybe they mean you don't have to show your "papers" when you're outside this time

[JoshSP1985]

I still contend that if we carried on as normal and just focused on protecting the elderly we would be in essentially the same position. Deaths would be frontloaded some and we would get through this more quickly.

Florida had the right idea. Lock down elderly care facilities like fort knox and let gen pop carry on for the most part.

[RIKTER]

Deaths per population:

France- 1404
NJ- 2711
NY- 2547

Wide open FL- 1518

Can you imagine trying to eradicate every strain of flu?
