Stay confined beyond May 11. This is the recommendation of the authorities to the elderly, who are paying a heavy price in the face of the coronavirus epidemic. On Monday April 13, Emmanuel Macron declared that "for their protection, we will ask [...] the elderly [...] to remain, even after May 11, confined, at least initially." Will it be compulsory confinement for seniors? Probably not, the Elysee having said on Friday "not to wish for discrimination between our fellow citizens after May 11".

As for the question of the age from which the maintenance of confinement would be advised, the executive has not yet decided, but the president of the scientific council, Jean-François Delfraissy, mentioned 65 or 70 years before the Senate, Wednesday.

In this context, if you have grandparents or elderly people around you, whom you have ceased to see since the outbreak of the epidemic, do you plan to see them again from May 11? Why ? Will you take any special precautions? Conversely, would you prefer not to see them again at first? What advice are you going to give your grandparents about their possible outings from May 11?

If you are over 65, will you remain confined after May 11? Why ? Or, despite the authorities' declarations, have you decided to break the confinement, and to see people again?
