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 feed its people. In Uganda, they plan to reopen the schools on April 26. They are going to shift the vacations. And they will basically start where they left off. I'm not sure what this means for stopping the virus. But everyone fears people dying of hunger. We need grace. The world needs grace.
My sewing machine is broken. I tried to sew a facemask by hand. It works but does not look so great. So I ordered a new sewing machine. A small cheap one. And we will see what I can manage to sew. I think I might try sewing a few to give away. I believe they help stop the spread. I think everyone should wear a mask. I think it should be a law.
