The French government has ordered a nightly curfew (9PM - 6 AM) in response to the second wave of #COVID after an irresponsible reopening. Of course it won't do anything to prevent the virus' transmission at schools (where cases are covered up) or offices (where remote work is only "suggested").

But the drop in cases that will inevitably happen because of a combination mortality and immunity will retroactively justify this inane freedom-stripping measure even without causation. It's an insured PR win for this now full-on authoritarian government.
