FRANCE: New govt-issued pass required each time you leave your property, enforced by 100,000 police and Gendarmes – “it’s really scary here, 65 mill of us in lock down” (a local reports)

This is a bit like accounts of pre war Germany isnt it … passes required to move about & alone only? Also intriguing that these officials are wearing no protective gear to keep them safe from the deadly virus? My thoughts… always practice the precautionary principle & stay safe … EWR

“If you want to exercise you have to live in the vicinity, and must do so on your own, can’t go out together! Can only have extra person in car if they have no license, or have no car and you’re helping, or they are disabled.”

A reliable source who lives in France has alerted us to what’s going on both there and in most of Europe right now. Not persons to panic they say (normally “glass half full or probably overflowing”) right now they report that their glass is shattered!

“It’s really scary here…the entire country…over 80 million of us are on lock down in our homes. We CANNOT leave our houses without a government issued permission form, and that’s only to get essential food or medical supplies. There are fines for not carrying the form and it’s one form for each person. You need a new form for EVERY time you want to leave your home. It’s basically a signed attestation by you of your purpose for being found outside. You cannot even walk your dog outside your property without it!!!

Everything is closed, there is no panic buying…there is nothing to buy!!!

There are 100,000 police and Gendarmes enforcing this. Some Hotels have been taken over by the army to use as hospitals. Toilet paper is the least of our worries…we have no printer ink to print the form to allow us to leave the house to try to get some from the only store that’s allowed to open, which is the supermarket!! We’re fine and have a good network around us and a full pantry, but many aren’t.

Sorry to be alarmist but you seriously don’t want to see NZ like this!!?

If you want to exercise you have to live in the vicinity, and must do so on your own, can’t go out together! Can only have extra person in car if they have no license, or have no car and you’re helping, or they are disabled.

Also as of today the fines went up for breaking the law, it’s now €135 And €350! (Every 100 euro is about $190NZ).”

Note: Police are recruited on a local basis and are paid by the town they work in (except special police). Gendarmes are a military force and are recruited on a county or national level.
