[AGL] report from the front lines

[Hans-Peter OTTO]

Hi Frances, 

staying home in Berlin. Pubs closed (boo) but sensible. 

Streets almost empty. Trams etc Ok keep distance. People work from home. Schools are closed. 

My choice of stores are within walking distance. Public alerted and keeping distance. 

Hoping this is over soon. 

Wear a face mask, to touchy adventures! 

Stay cool.
