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.

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 ...
