Things are about to turn ugly in France

French Covid pass proves divisive

"Health dictatorship" is what protesters here are calling it.
If the government has its way, in a few short weeks, you won't be able to sit down for a coffee at a Paris café - or board a train - without proof that you're Covid-free, vaccinated or immune.
This so-called Health Pass is the government's answer to infection rates that are rising faster than France has ever seen in this pandemic.
Already, from today, there'll be no routine access to cinemas, theatres, museums - no trips to Disneyland Paris - without it..

Mate you HAVE to put a link to anything you quote like this and you have to be mindful not to use too much of it, especially if it isn't BBC (which I know this one is)

This so-called Health Pass is the government's answer to infection rates that are rising faster than France has ever seen in this pandemic.
Already, from today, there'll be no routine access to cinemas, theatres, museums - no trips to Disneyland Paris - without it.
But it's the plan to extend that restriction to everyday public places - cafes, shopping centres and public transport - that's causing the biggest backlash.
Some MPs have reported receiving death threats ahead of the debate today.
And some protesters sparked fury last week by comparing these government restrictions to the singling out of Jews during France's war-time Nazi occupation.
A majority of French people appear to support the plan, with many believing it's the only way to avoid yet another lockdown.

Perhaps we should put them into quarantene camps to keep them safe while the pandemic rages?
 
One of my work contacts and 12 of his mates have all come down with covid which he thinks they caught at the England v Italy game. He's in hospital receiving oxygen treatment but serves him right as he refuses to have the jab.
 
Just found out my next door neighbour has been in hospital with it for over a week. Tested positive end of June and seemed to be getting better then went down hill. He was taken in by ambulance and at one point it looked like he was going into IC. Been on oxygen but they are starting to reduce it now. And yes he as had both his jabs. He had the Pfizer. Think he is slowly on the mend.
