First I want to say that we are safe. Sarah has a 4-hour orientation at school. I think they lay down the rules for the next 5 weeks. It is hard for teenagers to stay home and not see each other. I believe there will be a lot of compliance here. But in the larger areas like Berlin, they may need to put military troops on the streets. It feels like living in a war zone. Everything locked down and controlled. But I read today on Facebook, "Your grandparents lived during a war. You are called to stay home and sit on your couch and watch tv. " It is uncertain and people are dying. But the only real heroes here are the medical personal, the government leaders, and the people who are working at the cash register at the food store. We are not heroes, we are just called to stay where we are and not spread this sickness.
I have a bad cough. It could be Coronavirus. But it is not strong enough to merit testing. Jessica, Juergen, and Sarah all have the same cough. I read that people with very little symptoms are driving the spread of this sickness. I wish I could be tested. But they save the tests for people who are sicker. It would be a giant relief to know I had it...and it was a mild case. if I could recover and live in freedom. What an amazing feeling. Uncertainty is actually the pits. But it is the same boat we all share at the moment. I wear a mask when I am out to protect myself and others. I have read all the self-tests. I do not have a fever, I do have a dry cough, my lungs hurt a little, no runny nose, I get headaches, no chills or anything else. Mainly the cough. If that was how this virus was for everyone we should all think what is the big deal. The 13th person just died in Germany. Over 1800 have died in Italy. What I have could be hey fever. I could still get this and die. There is no certainty. This is really crazy. It just does not seem like such a big deal until it is a big deal. and at the moment, we see the situation in Italy and it makes us all sober.
Juergen ordered the entire series of Narni for Sarah to read. I will read it in English, she will read it in german. and we will talk about it. Long ago I read it with Nicole. Today I will plant some window boxes. Juergen is working from home. Jessica is bored. As long as we are allowed to move about, we will take her for a few drives a day. Maybe I'll buy a new audible book to listen to in the car. Update: I bought an 8-hour audible book of the sermons of Charles Spurgeon. I now look forward to the hours driving Jessica! I know this may seem unreal, but please just stay home and restrict your contacts. Be one less person for the medical community to care for. Be one less person who spreads this virus to someone who may not survive it. Read a book, take up a hobby, watch a movie, write a book. Just stay home.
