#TheLockdownChronicles Day 1
Today is the day. Since noon, France
is locked at home
The #Coronavirus
outbreak has been shaking Europe for the last few weeks.
I hadn’t paid too much attention to it (“It’s just another virus”) but suddenly everything accelerated.

The #Coronavirus
![Microbe 🦠](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f9a0.png)
I hadn’t paid too much attention to it (“It’s just another virus”) but suddenly everything accelerated.
I live in @Bordeaux, where we had the first case of #COVID19 in France
. It has been contained, so I forgot about it.
I started really to get interested in that story when schools were closed on Friday 13th. I read a few articles, among which this one https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca

Then I realized this was serious and we were going pretty soon to a total lockdown. China
& Italy
has done that and now I understood why.
Shutdown of bars, restaurants and cinemas was announced Saturday 14th.

Shutdown of bars, restaurants and cinemas was announced Saturday 14th.
So yesterday, Monday 16, we went to my wife’s restaurant to pick up the vegetables that were ready to be used for this week...
And we weren’t surprised when @EmmanuelMacron announced total lockdown.
So this morning we went out together for the last time in a few weeks

It feels weird. Like a movie, but we are not spectators this time.
We are fortunate to have a small terrace in front of our apartment so we’ll still be able to enjoy outdoors and the sun.
I’m thinking of all those in small appartment with no balcony, it’s gonna be tough.

However everyone bears the same constraints and it’s the right thing to do to give our healthcare system a chance to cope with the virus ![Microbe 🦠](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f9a0.png)
We have seen what worked in China
, we’ve witnessed them in disbelief lockdown a city of 11m inhabitants. And they were right.

Too bad we didn’t learn from them and have been slow to understand what was at stake.
At least finally the country and Europe as a whole has taken it seriously.
So we are home for a few weeks. Human activity will be dramatically impacted.

Is this Mother Nature sending a signal?
To Earth
, we humans are the virus

Pollution has dropped considerably in China
since the lockdown. At least that will be a positive thing here as well

Let’s see how we cope with this situation during the next few weeks.
So far I’m amazed at how quickly everybody seem to adapt. No choice anyway.
We have Internet, I can’t imagine how life was during the Spanish Flu in 1918. How did they communicate?...

while driving.
They were stopping every car passing by and we havd to show them the official paper explaining why we were outside![Smiling face with smiling eyes 😊](https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/72x72/1f60a.png)
