We are pretty close to a second lockdown in France too, but I think this time might be different: more local instead of whole country (by city/region?), more tests, available masks and gel, better knowledge of the things to do, remote work already well in place, ... It might end up being smoother.

Melbourne tried that but it didn’t work :(
We had people leaving suburbs that had outbreaks, and when the army door knocked positive cases, a large percentage weren’t home :angry:
People are selfish and will not self-isolate via the honour system. Melbourne only saw cases drop after the threat of fines for leaving home happened. Incentives matter.
