It may not sound so serious, but for a French and a Brit, dinner and football are not something you joke about.
Home night
Yesterday it hummed on the tables of restaurants and bars in Paris. It was the last night in town for many French people.
Tonight everything closes at 9 pm
– We just have to enjoy it to the fullest. We go to a restaurant, we go from bar to bar and we walk the Champs Elysees, says Kurty Magdelo, 19, and he was not the only one who enjoyed the last night in the French capital.
The bars in town were packed.

Lunch, but no dinner
French authorities are cracking down on the spread of the infection and some 20 million French people have been told to stay home overnight.
The reason is that they fear that the new wave of infection will overwhelm hospitals.
But not everyone agrees.
Restaurant owners have long complained about a measure that they don’t get the point, as long as the distance rules are followed. Many point out that six people can meet for lunch, but dinner is illegal.
Marseille Mayor Michele Rubirola, who is a doctor, believes the move is futile and calls it a misunderstood attempt to cover up that the government has not used the last few months to strengthen hospitals.
To go for a walk with the dog during curfew, you need a signed certificate, possibly an electronic one on your mobile. Otherwise, there is usually a fine of 135 euros.
Football in the living room
France is not the only country with high infection rates in recent weeks. It also looks dark across the canal. In the UK, just under 20,000 have been infected each day in recent days. There are many.
And the worst is in Liverpool. The only city defined as a category 3 city. This means that people who live or are in Liverpool cannot meet someone other than their own family or another selected family, the so-called “support bubble”.
It has created backlash.
On Wednesday, large crowds attacked police and the city’s mayor called the behavior of the people a “disgraceful”, writes the BBC.
The result is no pub, no bar, and no alcohol service.
At this point they would be fine. Because today is the day of the derby.
The two great football teams of the city, Liverpool and Everton, meet at 13.30, but everything must be seen at home with your own family.
It is also now being considered whether Manchester should be defined as a category 3 city while London is in category 2, writes the BBC.
The reason is simple. They fear hospitals are overloaded and doctors took to social media before the weekend and begged people to follow the rules. According to the local Liverpool Echo, 30 people were admitted with a crown a month ago. Now there are more than 300.
