ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Onset of deconfinement

Okay kiddo, so during this time when people were getting very sick with the virus, we had to stay at home and away from other people (this is called confinement or lockdown). But as time went on, we found ways to keep the virus from spreading so much and people started to get better. So now, some places are starting to let people go outside and see other people again but we still have to be careful so we don't get sick again. This is called deconfinement. It's like when you fall down and get a boo-boo, you have to stay still for a little while until you feel better. But then you can start playing and running around again, just like we're starting to do now with deconfinement.
