A young friend has started his second year at university in Poitiers. Nobody has been wearing a mask during lectures. They sit one seat apart but its not good. He told me until last week it was way too hot, people had their masks around their necks. Autumn started (not the official one, the real one) on Tuesday, it won't be warm until next year from now, I am interested to know if things change with compliance then.
He says its not a dissent thing that has them not wearing protection, it is the lack of comfort. My friend makes up his spending money by working at my local supermarket Leclerc, he has to wear a mask there but the aircon is good there, it isn't at the uni. Paris and Bordeaux are going to be swamped by the virus unless there is action, difficult for Macron as he has sorted painted himself into a corner by signalling that the country will not be closed again. There is local confinement just as in Britain but its Paris that must not close. Going to be an interesting winter.
SDCEP have been quite active during the outbreak. At the moment we follow national guidelines with local overlays of more risk averse behaviour. For example at one hospital I work in dental students can see patients whilst at another they can't.
