The coronavirus shutdown coincided with a personal one: a knee injury. Stranded as a Germany correspondent in Rapperswil, my work consisted of telephone interviews and surfing the internet. For a correspondent who loves direct contact with "his" country and its people, this was frustrating. I missed analog life, the bums on the park bench, and even the Berlin dog poop.
