American here. Although fluent as a child, at present I speak just enough German to really make a mess of things.

I saw a clip where you are getting arrested in Berlin for, apparently, not wearing a face mask. There isn't one damned thing I can do to help except tell you that we are brothers and the whole world must work its way out of the muck and mud at the same time or NONE of us will succeed.

Keep doing whatever you can see your way clear to do. We will do the same (fast breads but >90% are deliberate distractions). In the end perhaps we can raise a glass as free men worldwide.
