Closed Until Further Notice I

There was a long break on this blog because I was busy with other things (everyday life, a new apartment...) and "suffered" from a lack of inspiration. But now the coronavirus has arrived to Austria and life suddenly changed... The restart of this blog is my occupational therapy...
Currently the aim of the Austrian government is to slow the spread of the coronavirus: museums, theatres, cinemas, schools and universities are already closed. As of today - with the exception of grocery stores, drugstores, pharmacies, post offices, banks and other shops responsible for basic services - all shops will remain closed, religious services are suspended, playgrounds and sport fields will be closedAs of tomorrow all restaurants, bars, cafés (which today are still allowed to open until 3 p.m.) will be closed. Everybody who can do his work from home, should do this. We should only leave our house for work engagements and activities that can't be delayed or carried out from our own home, to make urgent purchases of food and to go to the aid of other people in urgent need. Flight connections are being suspended, some countries closed their borders... For more information in English on the current situation in Austria please click here. I'm wondering how long this situation will last and how life will go on afterwards...
