"French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that people must stay indoors from 21:00 to 06:00 in Paris and eight other cities to control the rapid spread of coronavirus in the country.

The curfew will come into effect from Saturday and last for at least four weeks, Mr Macron said in a televised interview.

A state of emergency has also been declared.

A further 22,951 infections were confirmed on Wednesday.

Across Europe, governments are introducing new restrictions to battle a second wave of infections.

A partial lockdown comes into force in the Netherlands at 22:00 (20:00 GMT) and cafes and restaurants are closing."

"The night-time curfew will apply to the capital Paris and its suburbs as well as Marseille, Lyon, Lille, Aix-en-Provence, Rouen, Toulouse, Grenoble and Montpellier.

It will be applied for four weeks to begin with and Mr Macron's government will seek to extend it to six.

The measures will stop people visiting restaurants and private homes during the evening and night-time, Mr Macron explained.
Residents will need a valid reason to be outside their homes during the hours of curfew, the president said. Essential trips will be permitted.

Schools will remain open and people will still be able to travel between regions during the day.

Can someone explain how a curfew reduces the spread of the virus?

Florida’s COVID-19 death toll is 15,531. This top GOP leader doesn’t believe it.

Speaker Jose Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, sent a memo Tuesday to all House members announcing the findings of an-in house analysis he ordered of the state’s COVID-19 death numbers and cautioned lawmakers against using the data for policy purposes.

So, someone who's party is accused of mishandling the pandemic looks for a way to diminish the number of deaths so as not too look so bad finds such evidence! A wonder!

Was this legislator tipped off by an insider that death certificates were being mishandled? Or did he go on a fishing expedition. Well, since he asked only for those certificates that had 'COVID' on them... we know the answer to that.

And that's because if you declare a subset of all death certificates to be wrong because of certain irregularities, you should know if those irregularities are present in *all* death certificates. Which, of course, he didn't do.

And if you're saying there's a systemic conspiracy to put out falsified death certificates... did you follow up with where they came from? I mean if almost all the irregular death certificates came from Miami County, then you might want to investigate what's happening there. But if the irregular death certificates are coming in from all over the state, then you have a much bigger conspiracy on your hands. You have doctors and nurses and coroners and county health departments all in on the conspiracy to inflate the death numbers. How does that work? Do these several thousand complicit health care workers have a giant Zoom meeting to coordinate with one another?

And why isn't this legislator calling out the specific doctors and coroners who filed irregular death certificates? Or handing it over to the state attorney general for investigating falsified public records?

Well, good thing that before he left office, he showed evidence of how the governor's administration was so inept that it allowed such a widespread conspiracy to linger!!

And, of course, he criticizes the national standards which he believes inflated the number of COVID deaths. Where did he get his degree in epidemiology?


Lesson learned: "one guy" shouting everyone else is wrong is usually the one who is wrong.

In Europe you spend at least 3-4 nights at a bar. Its not like here where theres a bar you go to downtown on weekends or in an area known for nightlife. The bars are cozy, they are typically standing room only and in very small spaces. In Europe almost every neighborhood has at least 2 bars and the residents all congregate to chat, have glass of wine, watch soccer, etc.

Curfews are a blunt rather than targeted policy tool. They work in this situation by reducing the total number of interactions that people have, and hence, reduce the number of new cases. They have the side effect of reducing the number of people indoors where social distancing is more difficult, since things like bars and nightclubs may remain open despite public health orders closing them.

If a vaccine works to protect someone from Covid, why would everyone have to get it? Wouldn't it simply be optional for those who are fearful or have medical issues that put them at risk? How would anyone unvaccinated put anyone vaccinated at risk?

If the answer is "the vaccine might not provide full immunity" then the vaccine is not going to be the magic bullet to get us past this virus many people seem to think it will be.

In the above scenario Covid likely becomes something we simply have to take precautions on similar to the flu every year. Until a cure or more effective treatments are developed.

If and when a vaccine for Covid19 becomes available, it should be required for everyone. Anyone who refuses to take it should be denied and and all insurance coverage and care for this disease. It is extremely expensive to provide care and why should those of us willing to take the vaccine, and other vaccines be required to pay for te fools who refuse to take simple steps to save the rest of us billions and billions of dollars.
