I think stringent regulations re Covid are commendable. I salute the French.
Here in America we are suffering precisely because people won't wear masks and won't social distance.
Furthermore, as soon as we make any improvement, we relax our health regulations and that serves as just another impetus for viral resurgence. For example, new case counts have been declining in the US for the past three weeks and now Gov. Cuomo wants to re open indoor dining. I am furious at him for that.
Americans often say that they won't wear a mask because this is a free country and they want to exercise their freedom. However, I find this a curious and troubling way to prove that one is free. It is a petulant, pouting, infantile negativity that is the freedom of very weak people. When one says that one will be free by not wearing a mask, one is saying that one cannot express one's freedom by writing a couplet or singing a song or fighting to defend someone who is being oppressed. One cannot express one's freedom by doing something good because one does not know how to do anything or is too lazy to do anything. Ergo, one will express one's freedom by refusing to do a very simple think which can stop the transmission of a deadly pathogen.

Brilliant. The writer reveals the passion that is always in Paris. In the best of times and the worst of times. I love the mask at midnight part.❤️😊
