91,159 up about 13,000 cases in 2 days the death rate has also begun to rise

The death rate from COVID-19 is still low in Germany,1200 out of 91,000 people. But 1200 people are still many souls lost and loved. And the reality that we are at the beginning of this pandemic hurts to consider. They have over 200,000 beds in Germany being prepared for what is to come. They are considering how they will allow people to get back to work and school...knowing that there will be a new surge of infections. I got a negative back on my virus test. I was really sad about that. I had hoped that all I have been through over the past weeks was the sickness. Once I recovered, I would be free. They are working on a test to check if you have immunity. I could have had the virus, but it was no longer in my throat. That is what was tested. It would be a gift to have immunity. But right now I need to play it very safe like everyone else. And for a day I thought I might get a ticket off this island. It made me realize how trapped I feel. How trapped I still feel. I was sad for a while. But I am ok again. Today I began to read the book of Daniel. He was taken captive. I guess he lived his entire life faithfully in captivity. He was faithful and I hope to be as well. I feel the only way we can manage this is by living one day at a time. We have no idea how long it's going to take. But we are all in the same boat. I want to have Nicole paint a Calvin and Hobbs picture on my kitchen window. I was hoping it might encourage the people who walk past our house every day. We are busy rearranging our house. Nicole will take my desk down to her room. It is actually her old desk. I will have a round table in my bedroom. Juergen is in the office, and I can not actually work there as he works. And I am writing a book, so I need a space to actually work on that. We are setting up to be here for a while. Not just weeks...but maybe months. I honestly do not know how we will manage it? I am worried about Uganda. Where will we find the funds to support 35 women and 45 kids for months? They can not work. They need money for food and rent. And it most likely is going to take some time. I hoped for one month...but that really is not realistic. I need to see God come through for us.  But really everyone needs to see that.

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...
