Auntie Plastique in the days of Coronavirus - Level 3 announced

Well.  
The future is unknown even more right now.  We usually think we have a handle on it.  We don't really, and now it's even more unclear. 

Last night France went to level 3 which means:  

"...as of midnight Saturday, all "places receiving the public" that are "not essential to the life of the country" will be shuttered until further notice. Restaurants, and cafes -- staples of French culture -- will need to close, along with cinemas and nightclubs.

Public transport will operate throughout France, but First Minister Philippe asked that it be used in a limited capacity – for work and only if there is a need to be there in person."

Last night EM and I had a discussion about what all this means.  He's worried of course about his parents who are both over 80 and living alone.  However, they are in walking distance to a grocery store and in a small town with neighbours close by.  He'll call them.   A visit this weekend was cancelled because of the virus risks. 
This morning we decided to have eggs as usual and I asked EM to make the toast and the coffee.  He asked me if I was going to be bossing him around for the rest of the time we are stuck at home together.  
Ok, yes, I am bossy.  
So, I proceeded to make the eggs and noticed that he had suddenly decided to clean our phones.  An excellent idea!  I quietly said that to help things progress, I would be grinding the coffee beans and making the toast.  So, I'm backed off bossing and started taking control.  I am ever so happy that he cleaned our phones though.  Really!
Now we are upstairs in our office.  Thanks to the wonderful renovation EM did, we each have a desk in our office.  I can hear him behind me on the floor going through papers and making a pile to recycle.  I look at the time and say: ''Hey it's 9:06 shouldn't you be at your post?'  He says: "What?"  Me: "Your work post."  EM: "It's Sunday...."  Me:  "Right."   
Damn, I am so bossy...  This is what I'll work on for the next few days.
