France was keeping its border closed long before coronavirus came along. A cancelled Christmas trip (due to strike action) means my 76 year old dad has yet to see our 7 month old baby, and now this.
We won't be able to travel freely for months and months (i see chinese infections are on the rise again) + the EU is already talking about extended self isolation for certain age groups.
In the Alsace, if you went to hospital with covid-19 and were aged over 80, there was no attempt to treat you, just some happy drugs to see you on your way. Au revoir.
Be under no illusion, this is the biggest thing we've ever seen.
If my father never gets to meet my daughter, i'll never spend a tourist cent in France again. Ever.
