77,981 cases that is up 7000 cases in 24 hours. I get my test results back tonight or today

I'm guessing not many people in the world hope they get a positive test back for the COVID-19 virus. But I've already been sick for weeks. I would really like a positive on my test. I want to know that this was it. That I am nearly better. That I only need to recover and then I'll be ok. I do not have much of a cough anymore. I still get headaches. I still get breathless and have very little energy. But I am getting better. And so are Juergen, Jessica, and Sarah. So I find out soon if I am positive. And I hope that I am. I hope that we can say we are recovered. It would be very special freedom. The freedom of being on the other side of the unknown. But it could be that I test negative. I am hoping I get a positive. I thought a lot about all the doctors and medical staff fighting in this war. For them, this is a war. And I felt a great deal of grief for all they are carrying. I am praying for them, thinking of them. We all owe a great deal of gratitude for all they are doing. I've heard it a few times...we signed an oath. That oath means something to them. But we do not often see oaths honored anymore. A marriage, for example, is an oath. A vow. But people break it all the time. So it is amazing to witness this ...people fulfilling a calling. Risking their lives, and going the extra miles to fulfill a calling. This is just one thing I consider as I an stuck in my bed. Businesses are beginning to fail. We are starting to see companies file for bankruptcy. The airline I have a ticket with this September looks like they will also fail. The company Philip wanted to work for looks like it will fail too. Got the phone call from the health department. The test is negative. I do not now have COVID-19. They can not say if I had it, only that I do not have it now. I am pretty sad about that. It felt like I had a chance of escaping this jail. But now I need to keep staying in the house and being super careful. And who could blame me for wanting this over?

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...
