In an attempt to stem the epidemic, Emmanuel Macron announced on Wednesday evening a new national confinement for four weeks.
Like an air of deja vu.
20 minutes you asked what you were going to do differently from the first confinement.
Here are your answers.
So here we are again for four weeks of confinement.
Finally at least.
According to information from Europe 1, the Elysee is counting on a much longer timeframe to overcome this second wave, up to providing eight to twelve weeks of confinement ...
Rude?
In any case, many of you have responded to our call for testimony "What are you going to do differently compared to the first confinement?"
".
And, not surprisingly, too, many to have said that they were not delighted by this new ordeal.
"No taste for anything, morale at zero, depressed in sight," says Chantal.
“Before there was still the hope of seeing the virus disappear and that containment was a useful and necessary effort, judge Anne.
Now we know that the virus will still circulate for a long time and that these periods of confinement are likely to repeat themselves ... Hope is gradually giving way to depression and the idea that our children will perhaps not know life and the simple things we got to know: kissing your grandparents, going dancing at concerts or festivals, meeting in a restaurant for an aperitif or for dinner… ”
The fear of the return to junk food and days in front of Netflix
From there to let go completely?
This is what Yann, sous chef, wants to avoid doing at all costs.
"During the first confinement, 'loneliness' amplified the temptation of the aperitif-visio, to eat anything and everything, anytime, he begins, also evoking a completely disrupted sleep rhythm" by the game console and Netflix ”.
Result: "I gained fifteen pounds that I took three months to lose," he says.
So even if he expects to be on partial unemployment again, Yann assures this time "that the second confinement will be spiritual and physical".
"Even confined, I will maintain the rhythm of my work days and exercise," he says.
He is not the only one to fear a new gain of weight during these weeks to come blocked at home.
We also find this concern in Christine who says she does not want to "compensate for the deprivation of liberty with food".
“At the first confinement, I gained seven kilos!” She says.
We made brioches, bread, cakes, this time we will try to be less greedy and do a little more sport.
“On the program: exercise bike and elliptical, stepper and sheathing, she lists.
Laurence also gives us her list of what she intends to change during this second confinement:
Do not sit for 10 hours in front of my screen (I had a phlebitis)
Don't let my daughter bake (I put on some pounds that I just lost)
Do not live in fear of losing my mother and not see her and bury her with dignity (I cried because I wanted to go see her and it was forbidden)
Do not make videoconferences all day causing ear infections.
Book, knitting, sewing, drawing ...
Against "Netflix all day" and "junk food", Habibou also says to have installed a morning routine.
"Ten minutes of exercise, meditation and I write down three things for which I am grateful," he says.
In addition, Habibou has just created a business, devotes two hours to reading and two more to learning English.
This makes him say "that he is ready for the second confinement".
Like "Mimi".
"If I recover from short-time working, at least I have planned a little and I bought material for my creative projects (knitting, sewing and drawing)", she says.
Before tonight, Sylvie also plans to “buy books, something to knit and sew”.
“We'll have to keep our spirits up with this winter weather and the days that are shorter.
I will not stand the looping programs on containment and the US elections, or Christmas movies every day…, she adds.
I am going to redo bread, cooking, baking ... "
"Do not let myself be invaded by teleworking"
Still other Internet users want to take advantage of this new confinement to slow down their daily lives and devote more time to themselves or to their loved ones.
“Preserving my personal and family life and not letting myself be invaded by teleworking” is Fanny's watchword.
"The mistake I made [last spring, editor's note] was putting too much pressure on myself to succeed, to work, to educate the children," says Maud.
In the end, I did not gain anything, except a bad image of myself and an almost burn-out.
This time, it will no longer be a question of trying to manage everything.
I would do what I can and if the children were to be confined too I would take advantage of them first.
"Roland is on the same line:" out of the question to work long days by combining his work and that of an teacher, he says.
I will give priority to childcare and no matter how guilty my manager looks… ”
But to date, therefore, Emmanuel Macron has indicated that nurseries and schools will remain open.
Far from being a detail.
“This time, I'm going to stay in Paris,” explains Céline.
The little one and I will be locked in our 19m2 instead of the 120m2 and grandpa's garden, but education takes precedence.
Annie therefore hopes that this second confinement will be easier to live with.
"I will not have to juggle between children and work since they will be in kindergarten," she calculates.
"Lock myself in my class with my 28 students"
The comfort of some is the misfortune of others.
Teacher, Christine does not hide her anger in any case: "What am I going to do?"
Lock myself in my class with my 28 middle and upper section students, without respecting barrier gestures because they are too small!
This is what I'm going to do ”.
Jules also knows that he will have little choice.
“As a bank teller, I will work as during the first confinement and have to manage the increased tensions of customers, he apprehends.
The first confinement was heavy, just to hear people complaining about having to stay at home while others were only asking for it ... I dread the period that opens.
