@Chap Sorry to hear that Jens. My strength/cardio took forever to return (1.5-2 months), but my symptoms were not as severe. Laura’s symptoms worried the hell out of me and I thought I would have to take her to the hospital. She slept for 20 hours on two separate days and didn’t get out of bed except once. I don’t think she would have eaten or drank anything unless I brought it to her and made sure she consumed it.
She recovered much more quickly and was back to normal in about 3 weeks.

Feel better soon. Maybe a good time for some cooking experiments, not much risk of something being inedible.

Best of luck @Chap . Feel better soon Jens….

and sharing your experiences… looks like I will have to be patient. Fingers crossed Anne @sabergirl and yes take care! -
What the actual fuck…....
_Twenty-five people have been arrested in raids across Germany on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government.
German reports say the group of far-right and ex-military figures planned to storm the parliament building, the Reichstag, and seize power.
A minor aristocrat described as Prince Heinrich XIII, 71, is alleged to have been central to their plans.
According to federal prosecutors, he is one of two alleged ringleaders among those arrested across 11 German states.
The plotters are said to include members of the extremist Reichsbürger [Citizens of the Reich] movement, which has long been in the sights of German police over violent attacks and racist conspiracy theories. They also refuse to recognise the modern German state.
An estimated 50 men and women are alleged to have been part of the group, said to have plotted to overthrow the republic and replace it with a new state modelled on the Germany of 1871 - an empire called the Second Reich._

Well yes, unnecessary to say Germans can go crazy as well. The 'Reichsbuerger' scene has been known here as an extremist group for a while. Good thing is that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Police and other prosecution institutions observed this particular group and knew about the plans. That's why they now intervened and arrested 25 people. Our democracy over here is quite stable (at the moment), but it is alarming to realise how many people full of hate and with now appreciation for the benefits of a fair and pluralistic society are out there. Democracy is not a self-runner, it has to be defended. FCKNZS
