Nineofswords asked me how things are in Germany with Covid-19.
Well, it's not too bad as it was more limited from February to May.
We have to wear masks while in shops and supermarkets or anywhere where we can't avoid interactions with people less then 1.5 meter away.
We don't have to wear masks outside.
We can meet up with friends and family if there's the possibiliy to keep the distance of 1.5 meter.
I don't have to wear a mask, when I'm in Munich at the office. We have plexiglass windows between the desks and there's not that much traffic on the corridors. If we go to the cantina during luchbreak we have to wear masks on the way to and from it and we have defined times for each department when we can go for lunch.
If you go to a restaurant, you only have to wear a mask as long as you are up on/off your way to the table or maybe to the restrooms. Beer-gardens are open with no limitations when distance of 1.5m is provided.
Each shop is open like fitness centers, pools, hotels or hair cutters. The only thing that isn't open yet are cosmetic-salons or similar. Which means for me no dying of my eye-lashes.
There's a lot more tourism in Germany as most Germans don't want to or are still not allowed to fly far away because of the restrictions in other countries.
There are more people here in Lower Bavaria for their holidays than usual.
As there are more Covid-19 cases lately, people fear that there'll be a second lockdown. But I guess they won't do lockdowns nationwide but differing from county to county depending on infection rates.
Infection rates were down to 300-500 cases per day in Germany but at the moment they are rising to around 1000 cases per day.
My life wasn't much effected by the virus as I have nearly no interactions with people neither before nor after the outbreak. I didn't miss a thing. I even got enough toiletpaper ;)
It even changed positively for me in a way, that I was able to do more homeoffice, up to 100%. But they are goinig to change that into the old rule again down to 50% at the end of pupils summer vacations. 7th Sept to be exact. *sigh* (if there are no further lockdowns)
At the moment I am mostly working 3 days from home and 2 day at the office in Munich.
I didn't win the lottery!
Damn!
