"France is going to release lockdown in a month."

I highly doubt that will happen. The preferred approach seems to be incremental opening to try and control the transmission rate. There might be one or two very stupid leaders who want to open things up with a bang (cough Trump cough), but the European nations currently easing restrictions seem to being doing so very cautiously.



You are correct. Most shops and schools are expected to re-open but things won't be back to normal. Restaurants and cafe will remain closed, and people at risk should remain home. They still need to figure out the details.

It seems that France is not much better prepared now that we were before the lockdown (masks/tests/contract tracing apps are still nowhere to be seen at that point).

As for our leaders, they distinguish themselves in their rhetorics and in some symbolic measures, but I have the feeling everyone is following the same path.

Exceptions are some Asian countries who seem to have the epidemics under control). They are the big winners...
