58247, up 7300 in 24 hours. Jessica has a cough, Nicole is sick



I saw this t-shirt yesterday.  I liked it.  We can not meet in the church building, but we can find ways to be the church in the world.  This morning I watched my service on my laptop.  The message was about home.  Finding our home in God.  Today I was going to be at my sister's house celebrating my mom's 80th birthday. Unfortunately, we had a pandemic... kind of changed everyone's plans.  But I have a home in my heart.  I feel home right now in Germany, and in America.  It is the place I am welcome.  The place I am loved.  I should add Uganda to that list because my heart is there as well. And I hoped to retire in Italy part-time.  My heart breaks for them.  God bless Italy.  God save Italy.
I am using the Instant pot I got for Christmas.  Right now I can smell the chicken and peppers cooking.  I will make a coconut curry for lunch.  I am trying to use up all the food I bought a month ago.  I may need to go to the store this week. It has been good not to shop for anything but bread. My lungs still hurt.  I feel much better, but I still feel like I can not get enough air.  I am using the nebulizer.  It does help, but my energy is really low.  Juergen wants me to see the doctor.  But to be honest, I am not sure I should bother them right now.  It is not a normal time.  I will probably improve in time. I am recovering from being pretty sick.  I think I am doing all that can be done.  I do not want to get in the way of anyone that actually needs a doctor right now.   As long as I do not get worse, I think I had better just stay at home. Actually, I was even outside an hour in the garden.  so there is small progress. Nicole feels sick today.  And Jessica started to cough again.  Both are in bed.     
In Uganda, The Vice President, Edward Ssekandi has secured 600 bags of rice for the needy elderly and People with Disability as a food security measure during the COVID-19 crisis. This is generous of him. But 600 bags of rice to feed 9 million poor in Kampala for the next 30 days is not nearly enough. Please pray for the people in Kampala. It seems like the leaders have no idea how poor the people are, and what needs they have. So far there are 30 cases of the Coronavirus. But all the cases are people who came from outside the country. There has so far not been any cases of community transmission.

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...
