Coronavirus From a Local Prospective

My regional state of Hessen, came out with a list of places that have to shut down or close, during this 'period'.....pubs, disco operations, night-clubs, bars, kinos, theaters, opera houses, museums, exhibits, amusement parks, zoos or animal parks, casinos, betting operations, brothels, sports arenas, pools, gyms, fitness studios, playgrounds, general retails operations.  Even shisha-bars  (where the bad boys hang out) are shut-down. 

Even religious operations are shut-down. 

No one is saying much over funerals.  I guess they can continue.

Restaurants and cafes are supposed to shut down by 6 PM.

Politicians are admitting that the 'rules' change hour by hour, and you could face an entire different situation in seven days.

Via social media, there is some odd event going called 'Coronavirus parties', where someone who is sick with the disease is brought to the party, and folks mingle around them....to intentionally get sick.  Whether it's a joke or actually occurring....I can't say.  It has gotten dragged up and condemned by the virus experts and political folks. 

I would suggest the biggest stress on folks right now is the fact that Kitas and kindergarten operations are shut down, and parents are having to stay home, and 'play' with their kids (24 hours a day),  instead of dumping them at the door of the operation.  Adding to this mess....even playgrounds are being shut-down by regional rules.
