Am I missing something?

I watched Trump, Johnson and Macron talk to their nations and by far the worse of course was Trump.  I am not a fan of Johnson but at least he had the experts explain the situation and give guidance.  Macron announced that all educational establishments would be closed from Monday for an indefinite period.  He also said that all people over 70 must stay in their homes.  In my logic I see at least three problems with this.  One is that all people over 70 will not catch coronavirus but will die of starvation, lack of exercise and neglect.  Two, most parents who work rely on grandparents to look after their children so  suddenly all those old people are exposed.  Three,  hundreds of thousands of children are now running around loose in their communities, happily spreading the virus even further.

How long will the Chief Medical Officer last in the States before Trump fires him.  Trump has blamed Europe, Obama, the Democrats, the Media and the lack of a wall for causing the spread of the virus.  The Chief Medical Officer has told the nation that while other countries are testing by the hundreds of thousands,  the USA hasn't actually been able to distribute that many and they don't have the capacity to provide the results either.  Methinks his days are numbered.

I'm Free

I was pulled over by Customs in Caen.  As I opened the trunk of the car one of the officers asked me if I was carrying goods.  'Yes,' I replied, ' French Champagne and French wine'  They nodded approvingly and waved me away. During my 3 days in the house, I have cleaned, filed all their paperwork, mended the shower, cooked dinner and tried watching television, the latter being totally uninspiring.  The news consists of covid, travel restrictions, forbidden Christmas parties...

D day lasts 3 days

 This morning, with my head full of things I still have to do, I got on the tram and forgot to scan my ticket.  The inspector got on 2 stops later and said I had to pay 45€ for this lapse.  Why can't I scan it now?  a reasonable question in my opinion, was met with scorn, so I  paid up.  On the tram back from the hospital there she was again and checked my ticket with glee.  While she was doing that a young man got on, sat down  and did not show any sign of even having a ticket, let alone scanning one.   The inspector passed him by without a second glance.   Today is the last day for packing and organising.  Tomorrow the removal company will arrive at 6am to take it all away and put it in storage.  Tomorrow night I will sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor and Thursday I go to the hospital to be nuked for the last time.  The sleeping bag is the one that saved me from hypothermia when a friend and I were lost for ...
