107,663 cases the Passover

Yesterday Sarah made Tunacakes, rice, and salad. we had water with orange slices and fresh mint. It was really good. Tonight Nicole is cooking lamb with sweet potatoes and salad to mark the Passover. I am having each of us cook a main meal once a week. They have to cook something we have in the house. But my kids are good cooks. It is nice for me not to have to cook every day.

I saw this photo on Facebook. I wish I was so far with my spring cleaning. I clean one thing a day. Than I run out of energy. Yesterday I over did it. I got a high fever and had to go to bed early. I am ok today. Today the news is, do not plan a summer vacation. We may not be allowed to travel. So I am not sure if I'll be able to travel to the US in September. We will also cancel our trip to Italy in August. I also understand Italy is angry with Germany because we are not seeing the number of deaths they are seeing. I think they are in shock. And it would not be a great time to travel there. Not now. Germany does have 2000 deaths now. Most because some retirement homes got the virus.

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...

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...

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...
