Day 4

The infection rate of ~33% is holding steady. Currently there are 567 confirmed cases in Franconia and 4 deaths. Get this: people are still being stupid and selfish and are organizing Corona parties. Why do people have to be so dumb? The minister president of Bavaria was fuming, and he should be. Hopefully people will learn real quick.

HomeSchooling seems to be going well. The kids are working everyday to finish their assigments. They are also getting outside more in the fresh air which is always a bonus. It isnt always easy keeping everyone chill, especially in close quarters, but maybe the assignments will help in that regard as well. You cant fight and bicker if your nose is buried in a book. As a pre-emptive reward, I pre-ordered Disney+ yesterday, which will be released here on the 24th. I predict a major outage that day and hopefully there wont be a revolution.

HomeOffice was better today. Connectivity issues are starting to lessen, which means we can work even better from home. I imagine after this crisis, a lot more money will be invested in digitalization. The school systems also need to be revamped to better handle such situations, however unlikely they may be. My wife's email account almost caught on fire due to the heavy traffic of assignments being turned in by her students. To be fair, teachers have never been trained in how to deal with something like this, they deserve much more credit than they are given.

I went out late this afternoon to send out some snail mail and also pick up on some beverages. When I was at the store, the owner told me how he almost threw and old bastard out of his small Mom and Pop's operation. The guy was trying to buy up all the toilet paper. The owner said he saw red and gave him an earful. asking the old codger why he hfelt like he had to buy all the toilet paper when there are families coming in with small kids who might actually have a use for all of it. This is getting ridiculous. Toilet paper probably is edible (unused of course) but jeesh, for what other reason do you need to clear out all the shelves?

Tomorrow is Friday, so I hope to finish work a little early and go check on my bee colonies. I wonder how long it will be before we need permission to leave our houses.

We still have toilet paper
