The Thirty-eighth Day: 29 April 2020 (165,221 confirmed infected, 26,097 died, in total)

"Every death is a tragedy, but we feel the loss of fellow health and care workers particularly keenly." – Ruth May

It rained yesterday and today. The temperature gets pretty low. The country held one minute’s silence yesterday at 11am to pay tribute to those key workers who died during this war against the invisible enemy. The weather gave a proper atmosphere for expressing the grief.

We drove to the nearest supermarket in the afternoon to replenish our food stock. Our car could not be started due to low battery. It had been left in the carpark without started for too many days. We did not want to call services at this time, so Sonne borrowed a car from her colleagues. I wonder how many cars will need rescues after the lock-down is over.

There were many policemen and police cars on the main street. They seemed not acting for the enforcement of lock-down rules. What could they be busy for?

We were all eating too much at dinner, so we walked around in the public garden downstairs of our flat for quite a number of laps, before we went back to sleep.
