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.

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 ...
