Germany. Double-booked trains, "friendly" conductors, only cash accepted, no Uber and breakfast not always what it used to be. Watch a pissed off Marc Almond on his way to Berlin - however he reached it eventually 🙈. I think many of us can relate to his Deutsche Bahn experience!

Wonder why I’m still wearing masks 😷 in crowded places? Here’s one reason. Covid hasn’t vanished yet, even if the government says so.

Ich habe mich die Tage mit Freunden über Corona-Fälle in der Bekanntschaft unterhalten. Wir hatten einen unterschiedlichen Blick auf die Anzahl der Infektionen.
Ich würde zum Abgleich gern mal von euch wissen, wie oft ihr bisher mit #Corona infiziert wart:

Welcome to the Fediverse!
Once you get the hang of it, please consider writing an #introductions toot and pin that to your profile.
I recommend @laura 's intro to Mastodon (link below), and tech savvy ppl may even like to glance over the ActivityPub W3C standard to grasp the full power. I like Pixelfed as another ActivityPub service, and there are more!

So my #Corona app told me I again I was close to someone who tested positive. Flying with British tourists seems to be a sure way to catch the virus 😉. Well, unless you wear a mask, like I did. So far mask wearing seems to have kept me from infection several times. Haven't made a test yet though. This week at university I was also wearing a mask. Imagine how many times I could have potentially spread the virus to my colleagues and students otherwise! Everyone should still wear a mask! 😷
