There was another slight increase in the infection rate in Franconia. Now we have 4222 cases with 74 deaths. The curve was starting to look better at the beginning of the week. Germany now has 77981 cases with 931 deaths.
Heidi and I went shopping at REWE in Ebermannstadt at 6 p.m. There were hardly any other customers in the store. The shelves were full, except for toilet paper, which was the first time I had seen it empty there in that store. Maybe they hadnt stocked the shelves yet. The panic purchasing has slowed down though.
The weather is warming up everyday. I think this will have two effects. One, more people will try to get outside more. Two, the weather will help slow the curve. I know that on Saturday, when the weather was really nice, I came across a lot of people hiking. The past few days, this wasnt the case. Although it was sunny, it was still cool, so maybe people stayed at home. This weekend will be like last weekend.
Angela Merkel declared yesterday that the contact restrictions (maximum of two people) shall continue until at least after Easter. This makes sense and I think it will probably continue until at least May.
