"Before the development of modern medicine, infectious diseases posed a major public health threat. The only means of protecting communities from outbreaks of infectious diseases such as typhus fever, cholera and smallpox was by isolating sufferers and those with whom they had been in contact"

abwarten und tee trinken.... this is a german idiom which is used in english as "just wait and see" but literally it means it means "waiting and drinking tea". beside that's all we can do for now, that's what I really do all day right now (besides a bit of sport and learning/working from home). drinking tea. Instead of my daily cup of black tea in the morning I drink three of them and every afternoon/evening I drink about three cups of green tea. Maybe that's a bit too much but it kinda got a routine and I think routines are important right now to have a sense of normality in our daily life.

Lurking around my building last night with the camera. It’s been a while since I pulled out the tripod and I was pretty happy with the results. Our guest parking was completely empty on a Friday night. No guests, wear your mask, wash your hands and keep your distance...it’s all part of our new reality these days and it’s hard to know when it will end.
due to corona virus all people in austria must not leave the house. there are exceptions for shopping food, medicaments, working in places you're really needed (like hospitals) and you're even allowed to go for a walk with your dog or go running. so we don't have a lock down (as italy has) but still we shall not leave the house, if possible. so although I really have a lot of time at the moment, as university is closed due to the governmental measures, I can't take photos outside. But I have a garden and in the next few days/weeks I will show you all the beauty it has to offer.

Bought a 1940s dining room set and will (hopefully) restore it to its former glory with a lot of elbow grease.
