Traveling?

 Listened to BBC yesterday about France's pending lock down. (starting today?)

Two days ago I listened to Jeannie Shaheen (NH) debating for that Senate Seat.

What do they have to do with each other?

First a French blogger  I follow is lamenting that her son might not be able to get back over the French boarder in time to file divorce papers. He doesn't really have a residence in France, so she listed her place as the residence. She is hoping he can get to her before the borders are locked down.
Do they actually lock borders? I have no idea. 

And the debate?

Shabeen explained that the largest mistake Trump made was to let the Americans who were overseas (for whatever reason) back into the country in March.  Her largest objection was permitting European people in, since the East Coast version of the virus seemed to come back with people in Europe. The West coast had infection from Asia. The entire 60,000 should have been kept out. Period.

In the past I have traveled a lot. Often. Many places. The constant that I felt was if there was an overseas emergency, I could head for the embassy and beg. Will that be true in the future?

Gave me pause. 

France's rule? If you are not an essential worker or school child you are allowed out of your house for one hour and are not allowed to travel more then 1 km in that hour- daily- for the next three weeks. 

FYI- France is 249k mi sq /60 million people. The lower 48 US is 3,120K mi sq and between 307 and 320 mil people. 

I am not for or against, just observing. We continue to be very good at masks and distance at my house :)
Life continues to be interesting.
