French PM details new restrictions on cusp of nation’s second Covid-19 lockdown

French people will only be allowed to leave their homes for food shopping, medical appointments, pressing family reasons and to commute to work when the job cannot be done from home, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced on Thursday ahead of a new Covid-19 lockdown starting at midnight.

The nationwide lockdown will be enforced initially until December 1, though health experts have warned a longer clampdown may be necessary.

Detailing the new restrictions, Castex said people will be allowed outside for just one hour of exercise per day and no further than one kilometre from their homes.

For every outing, they will have to carry a document justifying their presence outside or risk a fine of €135.

Travel within France, including to holiday homes, will be prohibited, though borders with EU countries will remain open, the prime minister said. Visits to friends or family are also banned.

Under the new rules, French schools will require all students aged six and over to wear face masks in class, Castex said.

Businesses allowed to remain open include garages, food shops, launderettes, opticians and newspaper vendors. Hotels will be allowed to maintain a reduced activity for work-related trips.

Places of worship will remain open, but no ceremonies will be allowed, the prime minister added.

Speaking after the prime minister, Labour Minister Elisabeth Borne said working from home will be mandatory except when it is technically impossible.

Didn’t Macron just a few weeks ago say there would be no more lockdowns? And now this version is a form of house arrest for most people.

Oh, you can be 100% certain that it will go into 2021.

I mean, if it didn’t work the first time, why not double down? Imbeciles.

Papiers, s’il vous plaît

Or its native German:

Papiere, bitte

VIDEO: 5m: 30 Oct: Sky News Australia: The Great Reset: Globalists using the virus to destroy the ‘Old World Order’
Spectator Columnist James Delingpole says the World Economic Forum is seeking to use COVID-19 to reshape the world with its “Great Reset” in what globalists see as a chance to destroy capitalism and the “old world order”.
“I started off this pandemic thinking it was just people being a bit stupid and it would all pass, but now I realise this is organised,” he said.
“When you hear the phrase “Build Back Better”... this is the code phrase for the great reset of our lives.
“They don’t want us to own anything, it will be provided for us. Who does own the property? Who’s renting it out to us? Some shadowy elite. This is a takeover by the technocrats.”

Mr Delingpole said the reset involved The World Economic Forum combined with UN Agenda 2030 - formerly Agenda 21 - is a complete transformation of the world’s societies on Communist or Fascist lines.

VIDEO: 6m: 28 Oct: Sky News Australia: There is ‘rank dishonesty’ about Hydroxychloroquine: Alan Jones
Sky News host Alan Jones says there is “rank dishonesty” about Hydroxychloroquine, a medicine which Australians are being denied access to despite it being a recommended lifesaving treatment for COVID-19.

***“You have to ask whether there is an agenda here,” Mr Jones said.

Mr Jones pointed out the medical treatment had been recommended as a lifesaving treatment in a peer-reviewed paper published in The American Journal of Medicine, authored by 24 doctors including five PhD’s.
“Australians are being denied access to a medicine and denied access to a medical treatment which is recommended as a lifesaving treatment,” Mr Jones said.

Mr Jones spoke with Liberal MP Craig Kelly, who has been pushing for the medicine in parliament. “This is not whether I think this drug is useful or not, it’s what the peer-reviewed science says,” Mr Kelly said...
“We’ve got a medical treatment being denied to Australians and yet that medical treatment is published in peer-reviewed literature.
“I’m going to keep up the pressure.”

The virus will be seen by governments and their consultants as justification for eliminating national sovereignty. The “need” for lock downs will be the jumping off point. It will be argued that the response must be consistent and handled by an international body.
