So, we are all technically in lockdown here in France starting last night ( Saturday 14 March).
My Joey and dad have had to cancel their trip here. It was the only thing they could do considering the circumstances but it's just been so vague. They have rebooked direct to MAN (via DXB) which should be OK. The UK is announcing long term self-isolation for those over 70, however, these are for Brits to try and manage the public health (NHS). That doesn't affect my ma and pa. But it is concerning none the less. We, as little peeps - the public are left scraching our heads. What the fuck do we do?
On a tiny note, Andy and I have prepaid for the Porsche to be picked up from here early Monday morning 16 March for a service in Dijon. This service has been booked for months, delayed with Andy's broken ankle because we need both of us to be able to drive in order to collect it and drive it back. We can't drive it there because .... well it needs transporting. So what do we do? We have prepaid the guy to come and pick the car up from here to transport it to Dijon first thing Monday. Last night there was a random announcement everything is closed baring essential services, food, and pharmacies.
So, the service centre in Porche Dijon will likely be closed tomorrow. But there is no advice on the Porsche website. We have no idea what to do with that. We are paying 400euro for the collection and delivery of the frigging car -pick up from Signeville early tomorrow (Monday) morning.
This is a minor but when the government announces something major on a Saturday night it leaves us all wondering WTF??? AND Andy is over 60 so he is advised to remain at home. Well, he has to be anyway because of his ankle but seriously?
Jeez. This should be handled far better than it is. We aren't really affected by the scheme of things. Imagine those that are truly affected. What a complete governmental disaster. And it is not just France who has mishandled this whole situation. There is no clear dialogue. Can't the WHO step in and be leaders?
Pisses me off. Big time. And don't even ask about Trump right now. What an utter joke.
I just hope this whole fiasco is a role play as to how to do it better next time round.
