The situation in Germany is still critical. The numbers are showing that the infection rate is slowing, however the number of infected is over 71000 in Germany. The number of deaths is at 775. The Robert-Koch-Institute warned that the number of deaths will rise. Although Germany has implemented lockdown measures it is still too early to tell if they are working. The RKI also reinforced what they have said weeks ago "We are at the beginning of this crisis." Bavarian minister president, Marcus Söder, added to this saying that no one should be thinking about relaxing, the situation is still quite serious.
The situation is also quite serious in the US. My home state of Maine has also decreed a shelter-in-place order. This is a smart move and it will save lives in the LONG run. The goal of these decrees is not to stop the virus, but to slow it down. Time needs to be won. Researchers need more time to develop and test a vaccine.
In Franconia there are 3686 infected cases with over 60 deaths. For some reason, my source for these numbers has stopped reporting the number of deaths for Franconia, instead they list the numbers for each county.
We still have plenty of toilet paper.
Stay safe everyone.
