Hugs back!
I live in a first floor (as in the British way, so not the ground floor) and the stairs for that only floor become a problem when having grocery bags and, specially, while wearing face masks. I was hyperventilating for a few moments.

I can totally relate to hyperventilating. Today when I took my lunch 3 floors up at work, the escalators didn't work and I had to walk their big stairs up. Damn, was I breathing hard. After that I almost cursed myself for not taking desert. I felt, I earned it. LOL

And I have to tell you: Oktoberfest 2020 is cancelled. Really. No shit.
I looked it up, this has happened during cholera in 1854 and 1873, during both world wars and during a phase of hyperinflation 1923. Not very often, so to speak. Only in serious cases. That's a lot of money lost there. But maybe lives saved.

Dina:
Yes, there will be a lot of money lost but I think the chance of saving lives is enough to make it worthy.
I've read that the cases in Europe are beginning to reduce, so that is very good. I expect it gets even better with warmer days.

I normally walk up the stairs at home with no problem as it is only one floor but at the university I work on floor 4. There is one bar in floor 2 (and another in the ground floor) so I often go for food there and I walk up the 2 floors. Well, it always make me breath hard. Still, I do it most times. What is terrible is walking up the 4 floors, which I only do when the escalators are off line. That is awful. (We have several escalators and is rare that all of them are working at the same time but on the bright side, it is rarer than all of them are off line at the same time). Anyway, at home the problem was wearing mask and having grocery bags.

Regenbogen:
Yes, I meant walking up the steep steps carrying a tray of food for my collegues and me and a few bottles of water, wearing the mask. The escalator steps are always steeper than normal steps.

And yes, the infection rate has slowed down here. I think it's because of the restrictions. People staying home, shops closed, ... Now they want to try reopen one at a time and see what happens. I think there will be more infections again in the next weeks, but hopefully not too many, so that there will still be enough capacity in the hospitals.

My daughter was pissed yesterday, because everybody just talks about f**** corona. So we talked about magic and its use in the books we know. :)

*****Hugs for everyone*****

Dina:
Don't watch Tangled, it happens in Corona  :). By the watched, I have watched several episodes of Tangled: the series, and I think it is quite fun! But sadly, it is not in Netflix anymore, so I can't find it in English anymore.

And sorry, in my previous post I meant "elevators", not "escalators". I was talking about normal stairs, not escalator ones, which are, indeed, terrible. And walking up stairs with trays is the worse! For me, even carrying not heavy things became complicated when I carry something horizontally. It makes all much worse

I hopefully will be back later, now I need to do a conference. Have a great maen everyone!
