Hi everyone, as humanity we go through a great test. Almost all international flights were cancelled. EU closed all its doors. Governments warn their citizens not to go out onto the streets.
How do you spend time in these days? How do you support your resilience? and How do you help others to have a good mental health?
1. Since Kindergardens and schools are closed in Germany you have to tend the kids...
2. I am working in home office by help of a Notebook and the internet... and the telephone as are three of my direct collegues... Only on person stays in the office this week...
Thank you for asking!
Take care.
And if you get it I hope for a smooth infection to get over it...
I stay at home, focus more on the kids and do my research. I also have the opportunity to answer more questions on RG to improve academic knowledge.
Our medical university has launched a remote teaching/ study program (we are even testing the student body :) ).
Since it is a new system for us and follows a different logic compared to teaching face to face, everyday we prepare new study material.
We clear issues (primarily some students trying to cheat their way through the system) as we go. :)

Aleš Kralj I was not aware of this! Do you care to share the link???
dear Aleš Kralj and Carsten Weerth thank you sharing the link, they are very useful. I just started to read
Dear Valeria Tananska sounds like you enjoy your time and are busier than before Corona 🙂
Dear Adasa Nkrumah what I learned from this pandemic is almost everyone of us around the world, started spend more time with our kids. So, it might be the best part, is not it? 🙂
I work on my papers and meet my colleagues through skype and discuss about our research.
I have followed e-learning with my students,and I have been preparing PPTs for them,testing them and being in contact for a period of time.Also,I have been writing some reseraches and reading a lot for that.
We worked mindfully and intensively to transfer our clinic services to online-- especially our RRS (Read-Reflect-Share) project (kind of bibliotherapy) with 240 participants under 25 groups. We had our first two sessions face to face with 24 groups and started to have 3rd and 4th sessions online-- with the 25th group we started fully online. The results for each session show online RRS is as effective as face-to-face. I will share the results when we are done with all 8 sessions.
Additionally, I spend some time connecting with my family, friends, colleagues online or through phone. May Allah/God help all of us go through this process in the most meaningful and productive way. We all as human tribe suffer through this process...

The Diplomat has a clear view on China's political attempt to clear its name from China Virus or Wuhan virus, see https://thediplomat.com/2020/03/can-chinas-covid-19-statistics-be-trusted/ The problem is that a liar is again acting openly. Do you trust a liar? Sadly that question must also be posed for the US knowadays... That situation must be changed in the near future...

This makes me sick! In the UK it has been reported until now only 163,000 persons have been tested on Covid-19. About 33,000 positive... In Germany we have about 350,000 persons tested PER WEEK (still not enough). About 80,000 positive... So all metrics and numbers (JHU) we are reading must be set in relation to sample size... In the UK: 3,000 reported death yet. In Germany less than 1,000... This is no competition, mind, but it is about flattening the curve and about lifes lost! And about management and mismangement, about populistic rulers...

The War on Masks and supply - a case of State Piracy by the USA he US approach under Trump that is accused as stealing is like that: Identifying shipments in Asia to countries like Germany, Canada, France and others, going on the airfield with cash and "buying" the goods which are under a contract already by bribery and threats... I suspect secret services are involved (why does the US know the shipments???)! And this is state piracy!
Today more than 1,400 death in the USA from Covid-19 on a single day!
Today more than 700 death in the UK from Covid-19 on a single day. And 4,300 alltogether in the UK (but only in hospitals). Since the elders in the homes of the eldery are not counted and published yet, the number is likely much higher...
Work from home; praying more; trying out new recipes in cooking and baking; exercising more consistently and more time to sleep. Good time to rejuvenate and recharge the body, mind, and soul by being away from the busy messy mechanical life.
The best thing to do is to be adaptive and not changing your lifestyle significantly. Continue with good and healthy lifestyle, connect with family and friends, read and write, and appreciate the fact that we get closer to our loved ones more than ever.
Work from home, supervise online schooling, household chores etc. I remain grounded through meditation, exercise and spending time with family.
