Meh. Just meh. The day started off with somewhere around 299 cases, and as of this writing, it is now up to 380 cases in Franconia. That is still an infection rate of around 33%. Not the greatest number, but hopefully it will start flattening out soon.
Kids are doing well managing their school work, which is good because otherwise they would become dumber. If they had their way, they would be watching TV or playing on their tablets all the time, which would effectively turn their brains to soup.
HomeOffice was not so great. Connectivity problems galore. But hey, I guess we arent the only ones. Still managed to have a couple productive online meetings, so we are keeping the boat afloat.
My wife is also starting to get waves of homework assignments to correct. Everyone needs to keep busy. This is a whole new world, and nothing will test a social education system like being thrust into the digital world.
I ventured out to two stores today. One was the REWE in nearby Ebermannstadt. I picked up some snacks and some tonic water, and the shelves seemed to be full and no signs of hamster purchasing. Then I went to the DM, which is like a drugstore without the pharmacy, and there it looked a lot different. 50% of the shelves were empty. Why in Sam Hell do people need to hoard so much stuff? The fact that two stores are about a mile from each other makes it seem all the weirder.
Weather was nice. I cooked a pork roast outside in the Dutch Oven for lunch, it was fanatastic.The kids played for about an hour in the backyard, and the dog spent almost all day outside. Having warm weather is a blessing but a cold snap is forecast for the weekend. We will see.
We still have toilet paper.
