37,323 up over 4000 new cases. -Walking under Open Heavens

They say the virus will not peak in Germany for another two weeks. I'm guessing it will be over 40,000 cases by tomorrow. We continue to stay where we are. I drive Jessica around for a few hours. And it is beautiful outside. A little cold, but really beautiful. Nicole is supposed to fly home to Germany today. She had a sore throat all week. I hope she does not have a fever, and they allow her to fly today. She has been contacted by the German embassy. I think she would be allowed to fly home with them if this commercial flight does not work. We will see. She wrote a new song. It was written for her professor who is about to retire. I really miss her. I am sure I will cry when I see her home and safe. I hope she remains healthy, but I'm trying not to think about that. I have been busy trying to support the leaders at Suubi Teen MOPS in Kampala. Today they are getting food for all the women to have in their homes. The lockdown is going to happen soon. I also sent money for supplies. They will be making beads when they are in lockdown. We will try to sell the beads to help them pay for their rent. They are not able to continue to work during the lockdown, and the fear of being homeless is real. So we will try to keep them busy trying to produce something they can exchange for rent. If you want 25 or more necklaces, let me know. They will cost 2 USD each plus postage. If you belong to a group you can think as a group to make a donation. Or think Christmas. You can give everyone you know a necklace. They will also try to trade their face masks and soap for food in the markets. No one has any money. But maybe they will trade a facemask for a few mangos. That sort of thing. I hope it works. if you want to help We accept pay pal and GoFund me. and direct bank deposit. Spenden Deutschland Hoffnung für Uganda e.V. IBAN: DE 14 6001 0070 0966 1517 02

67,051 cases and I will be tested today

I have been sick for weeks.  I am actually feeling a little better.  But I can not really breathe as well as I should.  We called the doctor yesterday to see if anything could be done to improve my lungs.  I get so tired after about 20 mins of work.  And it is frustrating.  I have this time, but zero energy to do anything.  The doctor said they do not know how long it takes to recover from Coronavirus.  And that it could be my heart.  That was scary.  She told me to get extra sleep.  If it did not improve I would need to see a heart doctor.  And then she remembered I have an autistic daughter.  And because I am a caretaker, she ordered a test.  So I guess the only reason I finally get a test is because of Jessica.  And I do not know if it will test me as positive.  I have been sick for weeks.  I may already be recovered? We are kind of hoping it is positive.  It will at least explain my symptoms an...

103,375 cases -Czech PSA Makes the Case for Face Masks |

Yesterday I got to go shopping alone. I wore a facemask, glasses, and gloves. I kept far from all the other shoppers. But it was so nice to just walk. The store and the parking lot was actually empty. There is such a strange atmosphere. It is like walking in a disaster film. I went to the big store Globus because we are out of toilet paper, and other stores were out of it. I am watching the news. Lately, it is all about how we could restart the economy. I think it will take real wisdom and maybe a few miracles. I agree with the lockdown. When I look at Italy and New York, I can see how important this lockdown is. But it is really painful for the economy. In Africa where people live from Hand To Mouth, it is more than painful. It is tragic. In East Africa, 50% of the population lives from whatever they make in a day. So this lockdown is going to cause hunger and homelessness. The governments already carry too much debut. They can not afford to borrow more money to ...
