Paris region sees record traffic jams ahead of lockdown
The Guardian ^ | Oct 30, 2020 | Helen Sullivan 11 hrs ago

A dash by Parisians to either escape the new national lockdown or scramble back to the French capital to prepare for the restrictions caused record traffic jams in and out of the city on Thursday night.

The exodus in and out of the city created a record 706km of traffic on roads in the region by 6pm, according to France’s traffic department.

France’s new four-week lockdown comes into effect at midnight on Thursday, prompting those who can afford it, or who don’t have children, to leave Paris to spend “réconfinement” in the country – and those already on holiday to return en masse.

Anyone here remember the Model States Health Powers Act that the Feds and CDC just had to have?

“The CDC’s draft was revised by the Center for Law and the Public’s Health, a collaboration between Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University.”

Where have we seen these players before?

These plans have long been in motion.

We are only just now watching them being implemented.

This is ridiculous! No more lock downed They don’t work and scaring the crap out of people to the point that there is a 120 mile long traffic jam is sadistic. Do these higher up people get some fun out of all this? Sure they do!
No more lock downs and no more obedience to these fear mongering idiots!

Sacre’ Bleu! I’ll be the Bordeaux, Merlot and Cabernet were flowing free and heavy once everyone reached their destinations.

Macron is apparently a fascist.

And to think that the US bothered to kick the German fascists out of France some decades ago.

As we see with many governors in this country, tyrants throughout the world not only love their omnipotence, they clearly seem to enjoy hurting people ... really causing harm to them!

Mass indiscriminate lockdowns are stupid and cruel. They do way more harm then good.

They were never grateful anyway, remember Pres Johnson’s famous rejoinder to that azz DeGaulle when DeGaulle demanded the removal of US troops from France, “Shall we remove the troops in the American cemeteries too?” or words to that effect. I’ll never feel
sorry for the French, if ever a people are getting what they voted for-over and over-it’s the French. Let their muzzies take the lead in defying the government, they get away with everything else.

Europe is out of their minds putting up with this. In Ireland they have manned check points at each county.

They are manipulating behavior for this

I’m truly blown away that they put up with this. Who do they think they are controlling movement like this? Can only go out for exercise an hour a day?
