French quarantine day 52

6,231 steps

Rain all day. Most of us still got outside anyway. And it's great for social distancing!


I made sourdough bread and, with part of the leftover dough, a fancy tear-apart bread filled with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes. The fancy bread didn't rise as well as I'd like, but it still tasted awesome.



We officially start the long process of déconfinement tomorrow. Schools and parks will be opening. We can go hiking again. Older children and adults will have to wear masks in public (although I also read something that says you either have to wear them or have them on your person...so we're really not sure what that means). This won't be a free-for-all, but rather a slow and controlled reopening.

Estrosi, the mayor of Nice, sent a letter explaining how the schools are preparing for the déconfinement. Class sizes are limited to 10-15. Handwashing, distancing, and disinfecting protocols are in place. Anyone who wants to continue online schooling for the rest of the year may do so. Apparently slightly under half of children are coming back to physical school. Our school year goes until the first week of July.

I was happy to hear that Estrosi has been working with the Lenval hospital to ensure rapid testing & contact tracing if any child, teacher, school employee, or family member of any of the above contracts covid-19. In that case, everyone in that large circle will be tested and traced.
