Day 7

Cold front came in pretty hard, but we still went for a family walk this afternoon. Fresh air is really great. Getting some sun on your face is also soothing, so even if it is near freezing, it is worth going outdoors. Since today is Sunday, nobody was doing any homework, except for my wife, who as a teacher, needs to prepare materials for her students.

Tomorrow we will get back into this new routine that we have created. I will try to rise an hour earlier than normal, as the "off-times" have proven to be much more productive. Once most of the colleagues start logging into the company network, things will slow down.

This evening, the news came in that German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is in quarantine after it was revealed that her attending doctor has tested positive for COVID-19. It is not good for a nation's morale when its leader is in quarantine. We are hoping and praying that she will test negative for the virus so she can continue to lead the country.

As of this writing there are now 1,102 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Franconia, with 13 deaths, and 24,582 in Germany with 94 deaths.

We still have enough toilet paper.
