France's Macron calls for all citizens to remain confined in homes: 'We're at war'

French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday called for citizens to restrict themselves from taking unnecessary trips outside of their homes for at least two weeks.

“We must all limit the number of people with who we’re in contact with every single day. Scientists say so, that's the absolute priority,” Macron said, according to a Sky News translation of the televised address.

The new measures will go into effect from noon Tuesday and last for at least two weeks.

"We're at war," Macron reportedly said.

The limited traffic means people should not gather to meet friends or family, he said.

Citizens can leave for necessary trips, such as doing shopping in a “disciplined fashion,” including keeping a distance of at least one meter between them and not shaking hands.

“’We’re at war,’ Macron reportedly said.”

What an insulting comment to all the Good Men who died in the REAL WAR on two fronts.

Fighting a somewhat worse than usual upper respiratory virus is not a war.

ebola..THAT would be a war.

They will supply their ‘troops’ with Chauchats. No one will care when they’re dropped.

Doesn’t this infringe on the right of rapefugees to have their way with French women whenever they want?

French citizens will stay indoors and do nothing?

So it’ll be just like World War II then, right?
