Coronavirus update

[wiseheart]

So far, we officially have 19 infected people, one of them has apparently healed already. I wish I could believe it. Nonetheless, schools might be closed from Monday on, which will lead to its own problems, starting with: where to put the kids? Especially the youngest ones? Food hoarding has already started, I might do some of my own during the weekend. Mum decided to go to early Mass again on Sunday, mostly because she wants to get out of the house and to the fresh air at least once a week; which is practical, as early Mass starts just a little after the nearby Lidl store opens, so I can do some hoarding.

On a more delightful note, one of my choir buddies was over in the afternoon. We chatted and laughed for about 3 hours, it was great. She also brought a generous slice of punch cake made by her hubby (he's a baker, albeit currently an unemployed one).

And I also managed to seam one of the Doll House quiet book pages. Only one more left - then I can start on the heroic task of binding the book. *fingers crossed*

None that I know of in our area, but a few schools and nursing homes (the latter a huge worry) in the capital cities have been hit, and universities which take in a lot of international students.

On the other hand, our Home Minister (a potato-faced idiot) has now been tested positive. The country is pretty well united in their lack of sympathy.

The real problem is that most likely a lot of positive yet symptom-free people are running around that we don't even know of. In a huge city like Budapest you can't really isolate yourself, even if you wanted.

That's the thing, the relative mildness of the disease for the majority of people makes it harder to contain...
