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

1966 cases and I can not go home

There are over 300 new cases of coronavirus in Germany.  The death rate is very low.  Everyone wants to credit our great health care system.  I think in the end, it will be the age of the people who got Coronavirus.  Italy has a very old population.  They got hit very fast and hard with this.  We have had time to get ready.  And I told a friend of mine today, Germans still sweep the sidewalks every week.  They do what is right for the entire society, not just what is right for themselves.  That is a general statement.  Naturally, there are exceptions.  I read about a man in Berlin who went to a night club even after hearing he had the virus.  16 people got the virus from him.  So some will care more about themselves and their convenience, and others look at the greater good. About 3 weeks ago I began to see this happening.  The spread of the virus I mean.  And I had to weigh if I should travel to America to my m...

12327, up 3000 cases in 24 hours. They have the virus in Uganda

Everything is closing up even tighter.  Here in Germany, they are setting up hospitals in convention halls.  They want to separate the normal hospital business with the Coronavirus cases.  The growth is sobering.  Only the more difficult cases get to be tested.  So I do not qualify for a test.  I have little energy and get easily winded.  My cough is lessening. I have no fever.  If I have the virus, I will probably never know.  But we are really isolated at home.  We only take a daily drive with Jessica. I have enough food in the house to last for weeks.  Juergen goes out to buy bread.  But mostly we are home. Yesterday I did get Philip to mow the lawn.  I did some work on the window boxes.  Today I need to plant onions and strawberries.  Sarah began reading the first book in the 7 book Narnia series.  Juergen is giving SAP at least 12 hours a day.  I honestly do not see much of him.  After he fin...

96,092 cases and changing the world

I saw this sign on Facebook.  It made me laugh out loud.  and Juergen nearly cried laughing when I showed it to him.  If you do not get it, the Coronavirus they believe came from a person eating a bat.  Or an animal that had been infected by a bat. That person contracted the virus, and they spread it to another person...and here we all are.  Locked up in our houses, economy ready to crash. If you want to change the world in a good way, we are trying to support 35 teenage mothers and their 46 kids in this time of lock down. They can not earn money (by law unable to sell their hand crafts) so we are trying to help them pay food and rent. And they stay busy making beads, bags and soap to be sold in the future gift shop. Check here for more details. HOW TO SUPPORT TEENAGE MOTHERS SURVIVE THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWN IN KAMPALA.   Nicole took my desk, and Juergen is taking the entire office to do his work. I set up a table for myself in my bedroom. T...
