1) So as some of you know, Bavaria went into lockdown at midnight. What that means - no going out and congregating in grps. You can go out to visit the doctor, go to work and buy supplies, and for walks with ppl living in the same household. Non-compliance can be 25k euro fine.
2) borders are already closed, school and daycare are closed. this is frankly unprecedented in my adult life. I’ll probably be fine but I don’t know what the long term impact is going to be. For kids, for farmers for freelancers, for small business owners, and so on.
3) there are police cars going around enforcing this state-wide lockdown. Sometimes we can hear the loudspeakers from the cars. It all feels incredibly surreal and very dystopian. This time last week, everything was 80% normal. The week before, barely any impact.
4) we are privileged to be able to work from home and we have financial reserves to tide over any problems. Aside from my type 2 diabetes we are young and healthy. We don’t have to worry about kids. This is going to be 1000x harder for ppl who don’t have these privileges.
5) my biggest worry is that with gyms being closed, all the gains i made in my fitness will be gone. It is hard to maintain the same level of workouts and fitness at home as I have a tennis elbow and can’t do some home gym thing. That’s a #firstworldproblem
