Well given the massive losses that happened in the entire DAX family at least we can Kurbel the Wirtschaft an again by Hamstering everything that's remotely stackable.

Also I can book an entire movie at the local theater all for myself now, that's great.

Hi there.
Just left the apartment for Edeka after 6 days of getting rid of the flu. Only shelves that were empty: handsoap, fish sticks, barilla pasta sauce. I hamstered by buying two of everything I usually buy.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I think it's good that you try to keep Number's spirit up in these trying times but we shouldn't lie to it. Unless everyone starts to eat twice as much the Hamsterkäufe will be a zero sum game.

I think Fahrenheit is better for weather
Living in the Rheinland, I really think they should have canceled their stupid Karneval this year. It's mostly just tedious anyway. Also the weather was poo poo.
Still kinda hoping, that this will blow over once May comes around. I am going on an international trip by then and don't really want to be quarantined, or lie in a bed for weeks.
Also, people dying is bad too, I guess.

I have sort of a high risk, because there are cases in my town already and my work requires me to travel a lot by train and sit in giant halls with hundreds of people. If I have it and don't know about it, soon a lot of other people will, too.

I don't have a car, so I can't shop for more than fits into a bag pack and two large Ikea-Tüten.

This week end I had a car available and used it to buy bulky/weighty stuff like toilet paper, tin cans, milk and a crate of beer. When checking out the cashier winked at me and I wanted to scream "I am not a dirty hoarder, I am a posh car haver!"

But I could only hang my head in shame as the bystanders downvoted me with their looks.

Also LOL at that (interesting) Sarajevo list from last page. You can tell it's a boomer thing from the 90ies because "no electricity" is listed as an option. Millennials would be ok with being quarantined in their homes, as it wouldn't really change their life style. But no internet would make them meltdown without even being able to tweet about it.

Still cannot get over how politicians are starting to put effort into this just after it turned out to kill boomers first. Meanwhile I cannot get property treatment for my circulatory issues unless I pay out of pocket thanks to SPD and Greens cuts to the health system.

I hope oliwan spreads the plague in the Berghain so I can be buried atop a pile of boomers corpses.

Wie aus einem Schreiben der Fraktion an die Landtagspräsidentin hervorgeht, wird Höcke kandidieren. Damit tritt er gegen den Linke-Politiker Bodo Ramelow an. Welche weiteren Kandidaten in welchen Wahlgängen kandidieren wollen, ist noch nicht entschieden.

The Thuringia saga continues with a twist I honestly didn't see coming:

Der Spiegel posted:

Corona-Verdachtsfall in der CDU-Fraktion
Ein Thüringer CDU-Abgeordneter hat sich womöglich mit dem neuen Coronavirus infiziert. Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen droht auch Ex-Ministerpräsident Ramelow eine Quarantäne.

Ein Abgeordneter der Thüringer CDU-Fraktion steht wegen des Verdachts einer Infektion mit dem neuen Coronavirus unter Quarantäne. Das erfuhr der SPIEGEL aus Parteikreisen. Zuerst hatte die "Thüringer Allgemeine" über den Verdachtsfall berichtet. Dieser solle schnellstmöglich geklärt werden, sagte ein Fraktionssprecher der Zeitung.

Der Abgeordnete sei mit einem 57-jährigen Mann aus dem Saale-Orla-Kreis, der sich mit dem neuen Virus infiziert habe, in den Winterferien im Skiurlaub in Italien gewesen, sagte ein Sprecher des Thüringer Gesundheitsministeriums.

Nach SPIEGEL-Informationen gehörte der Abgeordnete zu der Gruppe aus vier CDU-Parlamentariern, die sich im Thüringer Landtag mit Rot-Rot-Grün in mehrstündigen Sitzungen auf einen Kompromiss der vier Parteien geeinigt hatten. Der betreffende Skiurlaub fand vor den Verhandlungsrunden statt.

Auch Ramelow droht Quarantäne

Bis spätestens 19 Uhr am Dienstag soll ein Ergebnis vorliegen, ob der Corona-Verdacht zutrifft. Sollte der CDU-Abgeordnete infiziert sein, müsste nach SPIEGEL-Informationen auch der Ex-Ministerpräsident Bodo Ramelow unter Quarantäne. Ebenfalls betroffen wäre die gesamte CDU-Landtagsfraktion, die drei Verhandler der SPD, Grünen und Linken – ebenso die Mitglieder des Haushalts- und Finanzausschusses.

Für Mittwoch ist die Wahl des künftigen thüringischen Ministerpräsidenten geplant. Der Verdachtsfall könnte den Termin nun allerdings gefährden. Eine für Dienstag geplante Sitzung der CDU-Fraktion, in der sie sich noch einmal für den Wahltag besprechen will, soll dennoch stattfinden.

Nach dem Debakel um die Wahl des FDP-Politikers Thomas Kemmerich, der vor vier Wochen mit den Stimmen von CDU, Liberalen und AfD ins Amt gehievt wurde und nach einer Welle der Empörung kurz darauf wieder zurücktrat, will sich der frühere Regierungschef Bodo Ramelow am Mittwoch im Landtag erneut zur Wahl stellen.

FDP-Fraktion will bei der Wahl den Saal verlassen

Ramelows rot-rot-grünem Bündnis, mit dem er bereits in den vergangenen fünf Jahren regierte, fehlen im neuen Landtag vier Stimmen für eine Mehrheit. Deshalb ist er bei der Ministerpräsidentenwahl zumindest in den ersten beiden Wahlgängen auf Stimmen von CDU oder FDP angewiesen. Die Linke hofft auf einzelne CDU-Stimmen bereits im ersten Wahlgang. Mit AfD-Stimmen will Ramelow nicht ins Amt gewählt werden.

Allerdings hat die FDP-Fraktion inzwischen erklärt, bei der Wahl den Plenarsaal verlassen zu wollen, um ihre Ablehnung sowohl von Ramelow als auch des Thüringer AfD-Chefs Björn Höcke auszudrücken. "Wenn Sie dokumentieren wollen, dass Sie beide Kandidaten ablehnen, können Sie an dem Wahlgang nicht teilnehmen", sagte der Sprecher der Thüringer FDP-Fraktion, Thomas Philipp Reiter. Zur Begründung sagte er, dass die Stimmzettel keine Nein-Stimmen vorsähen. "Eine Enthaltung ist kein Nein." Es gebe einen entsprechenden Fraktionsbeschluss für den Plan.

Thüringens frisch gewählter CDU-Fraktionschef Mario Voigt wies hingegen Forderungen der Jungen Union (JU) nach einem Verlassen des Saals zurück. "Abgeordnete sind nicht dafür gewählt, sich aus der Verantwortung zu stehlen", sagte Voigt im MDR. Das gelte "auch beim Wahlakt und für jede andere sachliche Entscheidung danach auch - und deswegen ist das absolut keine Option".

Der JU-Vorsitzende Tilman Kuban hatte die Thüringer CDU-Abgeordneten zuvor aufgefordert, bei der Wahl des Ministerpräsidenten am Mittwoch den Plenarsaal zu verlassen. Die Beschlusslage der CDU lasse keine Zusammenarbeit mit AfD oder Linkspartei zu - "auch keine indirekte", sagte er den Zeitungen der Funke-Mediengruppe.
