Restrictions are being slowly lifted across Europe
This morning.
Tis lifting.
Austria’s chancellor Sebastian Kurz has become the first European leader to provide specific dates for the end of lockdown measures.
He said the aim was to let smaller shops re-open as soon as April 14, with larger ones and shopping malls opening on May 1 if all goes well.
In Spain, which after Italy has seen the highest number of deaths in Europe, Prime minister Pedro Sanchez has said that some economic restrictions could be lifted after Easter.

However…
All physical exercise – running, walking – will be banned in Paris between 10am and 7pm from tomorrow (Wed April 8) as part of ever stricter Coronavirus lockdown, by order Paris Police Prefecture & city council…Aim is to keep crowds down. What about pre-10am & post-7pm crowds?

Eau.
French “physical exercise”?
no runningbetween 10 and 7, because guess what now everyone is a runner but tiny apartment living without lovely terraces and parks is pretty much unbearable
Parc Monceau not open? They’ll just run around the block if closed. Popular spot.
If they start relaxing the shutdown considering the latest figures it is a bit soon
And my question is why the hell did we even go down this path that has slowed down the spread at the expense of the economy if only to reverse it all now
There should be no relaxing until the end of may depending on great improvements
And if people cannot live with themselves maybe they should look at the way they live their lives
This was never going to be easy but we must all keep our resolve up
