My federal state in Germany (Hessia) decided today to close all schools too (until after easter!), plus forbid bigger events. We have 133 confirmed infections among 6 Million people....
Even though I belong to the risk group it all seems a little drastic now. From what I understand the reasoning the government has behind all this is not to prevent the majority of people from being infected (since they said they assume that 60-70 percent will get it one way or another anyways) but to slow down the spread so the health system can actually deal with it and grant everyone the best possible treatment.
I don't know. The girlfriend is a school teacher and all fluffed up, and I was looking forward to starting a new job in an international, US-based company from monday. I kinda just want to live a normal life and the new job going as well as possible (I am kind of a recluse anyways XD). Looks the trips to and from the states (my US-boss from headquarters visiting me, me visiting the US) that were planned for my start-of-job program are cancelled though.
Will see. As I said I belong to the risk group, but I am not really scared, just quite annoyed.
