This is our 6th day of confinement at our apartment. Italy just reported 793 deaths on a single day yesterday and Spain reported 324 deaths due to the coronavirus outbreak. In France, we only records 112 deaths on Saturday. The numbers are getting scary, and sometimes it almost feels unreal, like we are living in a sci-fi movie.
I'm not worried, cause the deaths reported in Fr...

France entered a lockdown since this Monday, and we could be fined for leaving our home for reasons not deemed essential. Unfortunately, one of those non-essential reasons is going to a barbershop (they are all closed by the way). And since none of us is confident enough to give the other a decent hair cut, I'm predicting some wild growth of our hair and beard. XD
This is our 3rd day of c...

We just watched our president's speech on TV tonight. From tomorrow on, France will impose a near-total lockdown and the EU is to ban foreigners entering the bloc for 30 days in a great effort to curb the rapid spread of the coronavirus outbreak.
“We are at war – a public health war, certainly but we are at war, against an invisible and elusive enemy,” Macron said.
I guess my coronavirus date night isn't going to happen...
This pandemic is getting more and more serious now in France. A few minutes ago, our prime minister just announced on TV that from midnight tonight all non-essential businesses, including restaurants, bars, theaters, clubs and gyms, just to name a few, will be closed. So basically we are in the same situation as in Italy. The mass...

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, we definitely noticed fewer and fewer people on the streets every day. But I also notice that people around us... our friends and family... are starting to change their normal behaviors: Joe started to stock food... Zhang doesn't wanna hang out in crowded places anymore... and Eric seems weirdly joyful during this health crisis.

I'm gonna take this moment
And make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
And pray we'll stay together
Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only man I need
I'm gonna take this moment
And make it evergreen
It's just another form of a handshake between lovers.
Since I mostly work at home, I don't feel the impact of the coronavirus. At Joe's workplace, it's different, and he told me that everyone will get a little bit weird and joke about it if someone coughs in the office.
At the point, I don't know if the media are helping to raise the awareness of the virus, or they are helping to sp...

Even though we are not worried about the coronavirus, we don't like to be sick either, so Joe has been preparing for a worst-case epidemic, sometimes... maybe too much... he's even thinking about stocking food... yeah definitely too much. Nobody is wearing face masks on the streets here, so I'm not going to do that. We also heard that in some cities there's a toilet paper shortage going on, why...

Who wants to touch the wood of the lumberjack... for luck... of course... XD

Even though the coronavirus has ravaged China and spread throughout the rest of the world and many people in Europe are panicking, Joe and I are not worried. Between you and me, I think Joe secretly wishes the quarantine thing could actually happen in France so he doesn't have to go to work. XD

We ran into Maxime on the street, and this was the first time Maxime met Eric, I feel there's a weird vibe going on between them.
The dynamic between old friends and new friends is always a delicate thing. obviously we can't expect everybody to like everybody. Sometimes the kind of humour you like about someone happens to be the thing someone else appreciates the least.

To quote my friend Eric's own words, he's against "one of those dumb commercial holidays we imported from the USA". Wonder if he celebrates Halloween though... 🤔

Who's in the same boat with me? I worked so much lately that I completely forget about Valentine's day. Luckily my babe still remembers it and he bought me red roses. XD
Besides, it seems I'm not the only one who forgets about this special day for lovers. From this morning, on all French media, all we talk about is Paris mayoral candidate Benjamin Griveaux's sex tape scandal. It's a recor...
