“No, we will not be wise!
»Maxime, navy duffle coat on his back, does not support the idea of this third confinement on Ile-de-France.
Sheltered under the awning of "La Pelouse", a restaurant in the 19th arrondissement, with his colleague Timothée, he awaits his meal.
“No huge parties!
I can't take the new rules anymore, I feel like I'm not moving forward.
My friends can't find a job, no internship.
I am looking for an apartment, but how do I project myself ?, asks the 26-year-old young man.
With the new restrictions, it's still losing the best years of my life!
".
On the subject of teleworking, 4 days out of 5 as claimed by the Prime Minister, Maxime is already an officer three days a week at home, Timothée two.
"We take the metro, so we try to limit", slips the latter.
In front of the neighboring bakery, Catherine, 56, will scrupulously respect the instructions even if she no longer believes in their effectiveness: "Confining the week is a little ridiculous, but we have no choice" estimates the Parisian, who will no longer be able to slip into her country house, her “escape”.
"Rediscover human warmth"
Strolling in front of the Sacré-Cœur (18th century), Nina and Pauline, 28 and 29, admit to “completely saturating” in the face of the health crisis.
Singles and executives teleworking full time, they have not left their little two-room apartment in the north of Paris for months, no longer meet.
So this third confinement is the last straw.
They are "afraid to crack" they say.
"We know in advance that we will not respect it," says Pauline.
Nina for her part admits: “During the week, I pay attention, but at weekends, I accept more and more aperitifs and dinners.
We just want to find a little human warmth.
"
A little further, on the steps, David, in his thirties, who comes from Montgeron (Essonne), was in favor of "hard confinement".
He wants to end "once and for all" with the epidemic.
Like his partner, who works in a toy store, he says he is "pissed off" against part of the population.
"It is because of them that we are still there, those who enter stores without masks, who go out at night," says the young man.
