This is what the shutdown is called in French - confinement. It’s the same term used for what pregnant women had to do when they approached their due date. I will have to Google why and for how long - both in terms of the length of confinement and when the practice ended. The term makes me feel a little claustrophobic. That feeling became very intense this morning when we lost the internet for about 1/2 hour. I quickly went into panic mode as to what confinement would be like

Friday, October 30, 2020 I just wrote a long description about what the first day of a country-wide shutdown is like, what we have to do when we go out to justify being out, and how much the government is doing for all the non-essential businesses that have been shut down and all the people who suddenly find themselves without jobs. Between finishing the text and trying to upload several photos I took on my walk this morning, I lost the entire post. It’s probably just as well
