Meanwhile there has been an outrbreak amongst employees of a meat processing plant in Guetersloh., Germany. Over 1500 people have been tested positive. It´s not in my Region, but the fact that local authorities gonna implement a Lockdown of the city and its surroundings is alarming. The meat company has come under fire due to the the violation of corona hygiene rules. Guetersloh´s citizens are of course outraged. Travelers from Guetersloh are denied entry to other states like Bavaria.

Yes , I live in a City with a big University. My impression is that most students are so occupied with their studies or research frequent meetings for language practice are not very likely.

Rainbow, your link won't work for me! Says "page not found".
Rainbow, I know girl I used to work twelve hour days or more at the dealership for 19 years. But when my incident happened well some folks fill their time drinking some gambling and I quit drinking because of my liver enzyme count. So my drug is shopping not good coping skills I know.I used to work so much closing car deals I didn’t have time for that nonsense.I just need to stop it I stopped drinking I can stop this too thanks for the suggestion.
Katydyd...Which link? I just tried both of them and they worked for me. (One wasn't live...but it worked when I copied and pasted it) You can access both links through the article on QueenOnline:

Sounds like you have some wall space that you might be filling soon! :)

Got it, thanks Rainbow. I haven't purchased anything yet, but probably will. I want something I can display because otherwise I'll just stick them in a drawer and that will be that.
Chevy, lol, you might want to have someone hold onto those card for you!! I'm not too bad but, when it involves Queen, I tend to buy quickly. Which is why I have those couple of book purchases last year that were a disappointment!
Katy, I had to laugh at your kids rolling their eyes. It's become a constant joke in our house that, every time a Queen song comes on, I wear a Queen shirt, etc. my family rolls their eyes and complains about my fascination. It's all in humor, they're not really judging me, BUT I do love to go for that reaction!
Rainbow - no problem! As long as we get there and can reach an open space, we're in!! My daughter actually got me into the Airbnb. I admit, I was very hesitant as first but the prices are usually a lot less than a hotel, you get a lot more space and sometimes you can get in an area where you couldn't with hotels. Our Ireland trip sound a lot like yours....we had an even mix between hotels and Airbnb's depending on where we wanted to stay. We got refunds on all of our Airbnb's and from 1 hotel. Another hotel gave us a credit and the last wouldn't respond so I ended up cancelling my card before they could charge it, lol. If we can't make it to Switzerland, the Airbnb we booked doesn't give refunds this late but it may fall under the original company/COVID refund policy. Just keeping my fingers crossed!!!
Stevendabudgie - thanks for the articles, very interesting. On a side note, I'm glad I don't work for a place that is testing sewage!! I have a couple of meat plants in areas very close to me that had COVID outbreaks too. Makes you wonder why, doesn't it? It's food, they should be using protective gear all the time so, why these places with outbreaks?

For those interested, it might not be a good idea to pre-order Rudi's book as it appears Rudi has yet to finish writing the book ...
This is translated from an Italian website and posted on the new Queen board:
http://queenchat.boards.net/thread/791/friend-freddie-rudi-dolezal
...
| UPDATE | Rudi Dolezal's book MY FRIEND FREDDIE will hardly be released within this year as the author keeps promising.
In a recent live video published on his YouTube channel, the director confessed to having not finished writing the new chapters of the book he has been dedicated to since last February.
We don't even know how many pages it will have yet, as the stories of the former director of over 30 Queen & Co music videos and documentaries. '' They're saved here and there on the computer hard drive ", as he said himself.
Earlier, in mid-April, Rudi had unfortunately had to cancel a half-hour live agreed with Comunità Queeniana Italiana saying '' I have a problem: I can't go live from now, I'm sorry, because I have to focus on my book ".
Evidently confused, he has then exponentially increased the number of live and live connections with the whole world, literally clearing up all his past productions (his only economic gain, clearly), and it is very clear that he has no longer devoted himself to the work so decanted on his book.
Too bad, because we're all pretty curious to discover new stories. Let's hope that when and if the book is published (already in 2015 a book of his was withdrawn from the sale because it was never completed! ), it's not the representation of a broken record that repeats the same things we all already know, and that maybe Dolezal has already said extensively these months.
???? PROPOSED TO TALKS DONE THIS MONTHS... ???? I updated our webpage with Rudi's last words. As always, the new text is written in green color to be distinguished from the many material I have already transcribed in the last few months comunitaqueeniana.weebly.com/more-of-that-jazz/rudi-dolezal-le-memorie-dei-suoi-anni-con-i-queen-primavera-2020 comunitaqueeniana.weebly.com/more-of-that-jazz/rudi-dolezal-le-memorie-dei-suoi-anni-con-i-queen-primavera-2020
???? On the link page, at the end of everything, I recommend not preorder the book in special pre-order via the author's website. For heaven's sake, we won't miss a penny of what we anticipated, since Rudi has personally guaranteed that he will fully reimburse any customer who no longer wanted to wait for the book. The real reason, indeed, the real reasons are that: 1) we don't know how many pages he will have; 2) we don't know when and if it will be published for sure; 3) We don't know how much the shipping and it will have to be expensive beyond average because it's not managed by large distribution. It's better to wait for it to be officially published on the usual online and physical sales chains (if there will be...). ????

That´s a good question. Meat processing plant are factories making products for mass consumption. They are just a different kind,of assembly lines. Employees don´t have always time to desinfect. Here in Germany, the harsh, exploiting conditions of seasonal Workers from Eastern Europa is an issue. Virologists argue that the main causes of meat plant outbreaks are cool temperatures, bad air conditioning and air humidity thus enabling the coronavirus aerosols to stay stable and float around for a much longer periods of time. Add to to the mix the facts that there more shouting at such places,. Shouting emits higher viral loads than soft talking. There was a case here where dozens of choir singers got infected during a rehearsal.

Amidds, meat is outrageous I’m not much of a red meat eater. Hamburger meat is very expensive I prefer chicken or fish so I’m good.Its the small things in life that make me happy. Saint Juib, I get it about the preorders on the book I guess it’s up to the individual I guess as long as refunds are available no harm done. I didn’t plan on ordering Rudis book anyway for personal feelings so it won’t affect me but I know many have put their money down in good faith to receive a copy. Covid has been a rough experience on our nations It’s even slowed down Thor and Lees project it happens. At least with Thor and Lee we have these threads to look back on when we get bored lol. I’m truly sorry for those excited for The ones that put up money on Rudi”s book if these statements are truly the case.
Saint Jiub - very interesting and, what a contradiction to what he was saying when I was actually still watching his lives. I know we had that discussion where, every day, he said "I just finished another chapter(s)" and it seemed he either writing at lightning speed or was confused as to what a chapter really is. I would really like to see it come to fruition and give us some good tidbits that we haven't all read hundreds of times but, this makes me glad I didn't preorder!
Stevendabudgie-Excellent points with the cool temps, shouting, etc. Never thought of that. And, as this virus was unknown, you can't really blame people for their ignorance and not knowing exactly what to do. On the other hand, it is now summer and cases are rising so, are people just not isolating and wearing masks or is there another factor? I know the news is full of stories about how, in the south of the US, numbers are rising dramatically. In talking to my daughter, however, those numbers are in younger people and mostly asymptomatic. Her hospital isn't yet converting all their ICU's back to COVID units and don't plan to. Now, anything can happen to change that BUT, makes me wonder if there is gonna be another twist to this pandemic and we all just have to face the fact that there will be a new way of life where we need to stay safe while still living and hope the medical community can come up with a vaccine SOON!!!
On a Queen note, Katy, those stamps popped up on my Insta today so now I'm rethinking buying them. The coin I had ordered was very nicely packaged and included some trivia (nothing new) but it was more that just the coin. Looks like the stamps may be the same way.

Amidds, I’m glad you didn’t preorder too ! But did he say this with love and respect if he did then that ought to count for something lol.Didnt he always say that to the fans I don’t know I just heard from others. Maybe there was a huge tornado and blew all his hard work away. I’m so damn bad that was hateful.I just hope everybody gets their funds back. If not they may have to make a trip to Florida and like the three little pigs story the big bad wolf may half to huff and puff and blow his house down. I’m in a strange mood I’m kidding I’m sure refunds are available.Ignore me!
Amidds, On a different more serious note I went to counceling and you are supposed to wear their special hospital style masks not your designer ones and this lady got pissed and threw the facility mask on the ground.People don’t want to wear the approved masks the homemade ones don’t work. Everyone is gonna be required to wear a certain kind if they want to enter public places. Meaning the buisness will have security issue them if not bye !bye! That’s why we are seeing more cases I think not wearing the correct hospital style masks that are approved.Looks like more job openings for security that’s positive.
Darn, I just lost a long post because it "timed out". My apologies if it somehow appears twice. I'm going to try again.
Amidds, I did not pre-order Rudi's book either, but like you I hope the project does come to fruition. I've been following the discussion on queen.chat since it began and the thread is really rather short. St. Jiub provided the link if anyone is interested. Most of the posts are negative, but it's all personal opinions. I really hope Rudi isn't about to become the hot button target for negative people. Even the author of the translated Italian link SJ provided suggests just waiting for the book to come out rather than pre-order, and again, it's a personal opinion. If you go to Rudi''s social media sites you will see positive posts. I'd much rather take the positive approach and remain hopeful.
Amidds, as for COVID, again, I'm taking the positive approach and hoping for a vaccine. Cases are on the rise in the suburbs surrounding me and that concerns me. I did go to Costco yesterday before I knew about the local rise and was immediately sorry. It was my first time in months and they didn't even have what I wanted. Though I only saw one person without a mask, the store was way too crowded for me. I got out as fast as I could with purchases under $40 which NEVER happens for me in that store. But I was happy to see everyone with masks. We cannot get hospital grade masks here. They are reserving them for frontline medical workers. Medical experts say any mask is better than none. My concern is that so many people seem to be complacent about the situation. Restaurants open here and then close again because either staff or patrons tested positive. I LOVE to eat out, but it won't be happening any time in the foreseeable future. I also know people putting off medical issues because they are afraid to go to the doctor's office or the hospital. My niece lives in Texas and got very sick several weeks ago. She was given a COVID test that was negative, but she got steadily more sick. Because she is young, they wanted her to ride it out at home if possible. Finally she became so sick that she had to go to the emergency room. She was given another COVID test, again with negative results. Turns out she had murine typhus, which comes from flea bites. She's a vet and someone had abandoned a litter of kittens at her office. She took them home, they were infested with fleas and voila, murine typhus. My point is she stayed away from the hospital much longer than she should have though she recovered quickly once she had the proper treatment. I have other friends who live in Arizona, another hot spot. Their daughter is a nurse there and she says the COVID units are full, with concern where to put the overflow. Life is definitely going to be different for all of us. I don't like the way the mask feels on my face, but I would never go without one both for my sake and those around me.
As for the stamps, I'm definitely going to get them, probably framed. Just haven't done it yet.

Where my husband works in a hospital they are making the incoming patients wear the hospital grade masks security there has to enforce it or you don’t come in. Indian health follows the same hospital policy’s too in Oklahoma now I hope they start t in every state for everyone’s sake they had a huge hospital meeting about it.I bet costs are outrageous but so is medical ICU care.
Eating places Walmart may not due it yet but they will have their own pretty soon too I bet.
