– So, how do you live the partial deconfinement?
– I do not know if he is partial, but in any case, he is a heavy husband, you.
– Heavy at what level?
– But at all levels you. You have to stay at home …
– Aren’t you happy spending some time with your family?
– Frankly tell you, in the early days, it was good husband, but after you suffocate, you. A weekend is a good husband, but afterwards, it’s too much, and you smash your budget, you.
– What do you mean?
– Before, we made a bread for lunch a good dinner, now we make breakfast, lunch and dinner, without counting fried foods during the day. We’re all going to end up overweight, I’m telling you. How do you want your budget not to be stoned? Especially since the prices in the supermarkets have taken the lift as you must have noticed.
– That is true. You are told the vegetables are rotting in the tiles, and at the supermarket it looks like we are in a time of shortage.
– It looks like there is a covid tax, a kind of VAT on products. Fortunately there was sale on televisions.
– Why, your 42 inch does not work anymore?
– It works very well, but between my mother-in-law who wants to watch her soap operas and my guy who wants to watch her matches, I had to buy another television on promotion.
– And the children, what do they watch?
– Fortunately they have their shelves to see their clips all that, otherwise I do not know what we would have done.
– What are you looking at like that?
– Between cleaning, laundry, cooking and work from home when I have time to look at anything? With this partial containment, I work like an ox, I tell you. And besides, we are too much on top of each other in the house, you.
– That’s true. And in addition you have a big house and a yard. Imagine the people who have children and who live in a flat.
– I do not know how these people do. This is the very thing that has increased domestic violence.
– That’s true. And you do not know, you: it seems that the number of cases of domestic violence against men is increasing.
– You surprise me! Myself when sometimes I see my good man sprawled on the sofa, his beer in his hand, pistachio shells on the floor, watching his football game … I feel my itchy hand, I tell you! The partial confinement would be less heavy if my maid could come to work, but she did not have a WAP.
– She did not have? But me, my maid, who lives not far from home, she had.
– You know this WAP, it’s one of the great mysteries of partial deconfinement. First of all, as a trade unionist said, you put the country in lockdown so that people do not move around …
– But you have to do it to prevent the virus from continuing to circulate …
– Yes, but at the same time you give 500,000 WAP for people to go to work. Is that how we’re going to stop the virus from circulating?
– There, I have to admit that you have a good point.
– And in addition, these WAPs, we do not know on what criteria they are given. I am told that people who did not ask received, while members of Parliament and lawyers did not. Explain to me the logic of all this?
– I don’t know me… without defending anyone, I think we are all a little overwhelmed by this epidemic.
– That does not explain why your maid had a WAP and not my maid! It is because of this that I fell ill.
– Is that so? What did you have like that?
– According to my doctor, whom I went to consult the day of my letter, I caught the new virus.
– Hey there! Don’t tell me you’ve caught a covid variant!
– Do not put your kid mouth on me, I’m telling you there, eh!
– But what virus did you catch?
– You are not aware that there is a new virus which circulates since the partial deconfinement and which attacks a category of people?
– First news. What category of people?
– Women like me who work and have a maid to take care of their house. A maid who does not come to work since the partial deconfinement.
– I don’t quite understand that. What does this virus have to do with your maid?
– Since my maid has not come, it is I myself who pass the mop and the broom throughout the house to do the cleaning.
– So what?
– So what? But I’ve never done that in my life, you. Since then, I have excruciating pain in my back and arms, all over my body, you. The doctor told me that I had caught the mop virus which attacks all people who are forced to do work that they are not used to doing.
– Hey there! What medicine should you take against this new virus?
– There is only one treatment from what I understand: give a WAP to the maids so that they can start doing their work again!
