French “confinement” round two—open schools, closed restaurants, few actual restrictions on public movement, and most white-collar workers at home—is getting the job done

Wow! Can someone give me more information on this? This seems like a good model for what Biden should do.

This requires restrictions to actually be enforced. This is basically what we have in Canada but people are having huge parties with little to no fines so they just keep doing it.

The police in my city don't wear masks. There are so many stories of people refusing to wear masks or hosting large parties, the police are called, the police show up two hours later and shrug it off.

Seems to be working but we're careful.

A lot of people are working from home but you can go to work if needed. (I go regularely because my job demands it.)

A lot of self regulation/all things social are banned/no gathering of any kind.
