Wie fest ist „fest“? How fest is „fest“?
The word "fest" can be very misleading. Der Ausdruck "fest" kann irreführend sein.

CORONA
In "normal" times, most of us are always complaining about the lack of time at home. All of a sudden, we all have a lot of time, and most of us are forced to stay at home and can only go out to shop groceries, go to the pharmacy, or for a short walk/run close to the house.
