France will widen strict lockdown restrictions - which have already been in place in several areas including Paris - to the whole country to combat a third wave of coronavirus sweeping Europe.
In a televised address to the nation, President Emmanuel Macron said the measures will come into effect on Saturday and be in place for at least a month.

But muh socialized medicine! It’s the envy of the world. Big media told me it was much better than America’s healthcare system
Perhaps more refugees will help
Macron is a globalist but not ‘woke’ and he does care about winning re-election next year ...
Must be something to do with difficult vaccine rollout?
I wonder how many of those going into the hospital during the “spike” had previously received the vaccine.
This seems like an easy stat for the public health folks to obtain and publish, yet it is not done.
If advocating vaccine use, wouldn’t you want to publish the fact that almost all people going into the hospital now have not been vaccinated?
Unless, of course, the public health officials have discovered that almost all people going into the hospital HAVE been vaccinated...
Then what is the point of the damn Vaccine!?
They didn’t have the same preparation and roll out that Trump orchestrated on America’s behalf.
Also in addition to certain side effects, Astrazeneca is British not “European” and this causes geopolitical conflict?
Still butthurt over Brexit would be my guess.
A day in the life of Doug Gaines...

good man. God Bless Douglas Keith Gaines. R.I.P., sir. love
Without them we take in a tiny bit of the virus likely every day which healthy immune systems destroy with barely any symptoms. Over time we build up immunity. But masks CONCENTRATE the virus in our expelled breath and we rebreath it again and again making it worse. Lockdowns prevent us from having little bits of the virus go in to help us become immune.
Unlike masking, lockdowns do actually slow the spread of the virus by reducing it’s opportunity to spread.
But they’re so costly, which the media always hides, that about the only justification is to prevent the total collapse of the healthcare system.
Hard to believe France is at that point
Wow, and for a whole month!
For the last year I’ve wondered what world leaders were and are being told about this virus that a very large nation, who must never be named, gifted to the world. Most shut their nations’ economies down very quickly and several continue to do so. It must be scary as hell. And none have chosen to share what they were told, including a very straight-shooting Donald J Trump.
A young woman I occasionally work with got the Wuhan around Christmas. She got very ill, very weak, lost her sense of smell for a while and then recovered without hospitalization. But she thinks there will be all kinds of stories about the after-effects of the disease.
One she mentioned was her sense of smell. She got it back, but it’s different. Anything with a strong odor, she mentioned gasoline and toothpaste, now has a “medicine smell” to it. The virus apparently has either changed her sense of smell or how her brain interprets the smell.
This virus looks to be messing with people at a very deep level above and beyond people’s sense of smell.
“It has nothing to do with vaccines. It has everything to do with lockdowns and masks. I am firmly convinced that lockdowns and masks make it worse than it would be otherwise.

Yep, I felt that way early in the pandemic when the “homeless” had very low incidence of symptomatic COVID-19. Exposure to “tiny bits” of the virus periodically in the outdoors allows immunity to be built up. Lockdowns and closures were a mistake, IMHO.
Lockdowns kill.
It’s already been proven by multiple doctors and scientists that masks make it worse and have other very negative effects too, but they get ignored because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
I’ve been thinking the same thing!
“I am firmly convinced that lockdowns and masks make it worse than it would be otherwise.”
I agree.
My wife is watching a very important Tucker Carlson show right now. Mark Steiyn is on. It’s about the lockdowns going on in Canada per Trudeau. Must see. I saw 1 segment. Things are heating up. BE PREPARED.
Another place that’s seeing a return to more strict lockdown conditions is where I live, British Columbia. We just went back to the no indoors dining rule that was in place in April-May of 2020.
I have to wonder if maybe one or more of these vaccines being rolled out has too high an infection rate (instead of working to prevent infection) and this is causing concern behind the scenes. Some of them were rushed into production and testing has been haphazard to say the least.
My suggestion at this point is to reverse the paradigm altogether, we can’t go on much longer like this without widespread social unrest (which would probably be good looking at the globalist nature of most of our governments). Instead of trying to keep the virus away from everybody at the cost of economic vitality and personal freedom, let each person decide for themselves (like in the good old days) and warn the most vulnerable to take precautions. I have yet to hear a government official recommend the intake of vitamins, for example.
Let the thing burn through the healthy 90 to 95 per cent of the population and try to keep the most vulnerable away from its spread, but make it clear it’s their personal responsibility, this is life, you have to deal with what you’re given.
I would say social unrest is right around the corner and in some cases it already started although people are just randomly taking out their frustrations on placeholders, like not being able to get at the government of China, any random Chinese person — which is not only stupid and wrong, it’s counter-productive. We need to figure out who the real culprits are and go after them.
The English Channel is amazing at stopping COVID.
Boris Johnson and the Brits are opening up and refusing to lock down again; and the French true to form SURRENDER.
