Oh, and I managed to get my hands on a mask (they're very rare in France right now), even if it looks like it was made out of a pair of granny panties. Turns out that people have taken up to sewing fabric masks to fight the current shortage. What's best, I got it for free. Win !
Spain has had a notable increase of +100 deaths and +2,000 infections compared to yesterday. But day-to-day count are not very accurate as some hospitals do not confirm deaths/cases until the following day. Hopefully the next few days will continue to confirm Spain has passed their peak of the outbreak.
Numbers don’t lie but I’m still cautious because next weekend will be Easter which could lead tons of people to breaking the rules. It’s not simple to stop Italians eating and drinking together in such an important event...

Staéy inside or be exterminated.
Sad as it may be, it's been interesting to observe how this virus has affected all aspects of life. Economic, political, social, biological. It's forced a great deal of people to recontextualize life to some extent, even if only temporarily, in terms of how we work, study, and connect and relate to each other. It also appears to have had some positive short-term environmental consequences, but I fear once the virus situation is over, the intense need to reactivate the economy will overcome any environmental considerations.
In my particular case, it's also been interesting to learn or re-learn a thing or two about biology, how viruses work, and how epidemics and pandemics are dealt with by health professionals.
Here's hoping we can overcome this global problem in the best possible way.

If anything it's proved that a great number of people are more than capable of performing their jobs at home, leading to the question of whether it is really necessary for everyone to work in their office 9-5, five days a week. If people worked at home 2-3 days a week surely that would help a little bit in cutting down on CO2 emissions? And traffic would be lighter, so when you do need to commute your commute time would go down also.
I was out for a walk last night too, to get some fresh air and enjoy the full moon. Only saw two other people. Truly bizarre, but also quite lovely.
Shocking. My office already started to fire some employees btw.

Fantastic! =D>
Personally, I find the thought of everyone running around with masks disastrous, even more than the pandemic's effect on the economy. Our societies are built and rely upon seeing each other's face while communicating in person. (In fact, that's the only reason why I think that in spite of religious freedom, burqas and niqabs should be outlawed in public. And I definitely don't wish to start a discussion of religious rules here, just trying to draw a parallel to show how important I find that issue.)
As long as the government lets me, I'll be happy to run around (when I need to) without a mask, trying to keep distance and follow all rules, and I am confident I'll either be fine...or the fatalist alternative: I'll get it anyway one of these days, since 60 or 70 per cent of the population will before it stops. Or the best solution: I may have had it already without being aware.

I love it in Sarasota. I've been going every year in the summer since 2013. I don't blame her. I've only been going to work and to the grocery store and even the latter is very brief for essentials.
First of all, I don't have a personal interest, not having a second residence and enjoying my rural home in Lower Saxony, south of Hamburg, with a generous back yard and a pond, as it is. But I do think that the rules by the other states are unconstitutional, especially regarding the people living right on the border (which normally is no border at all) between the states. The German constitution provides for freedom of movement in the entire country, and while restrictions of movement to and from some places may be in order under the circumstances under the Infection Protection Code, I do not think they are warranted based on the place/state where one is registered, especially if they are targeted against residents living right on the "state line", using the American term for lack of a better word. If one lives in the middle of Hamburg and maybe has a lot exposition to the virus, it makes total sense to send your family to your (officially recognised and taxed) second home in the neighboring countryside to keep them out of the possibly infectious hustle of the Big City, and the regional governments shouldn't impede this.
Yes.
Agreed. I cannot believe, especially in these facebook/twitter times, that people worry more about their absolute privacy than public health.
