Dear Christian,

सर्वकर्माणि संन्यस्य फलानि सकलानि च ।
सर्वकालं गृहस्थोऽहं कोरोनाभयचिन्तया ।।

Having given up all activities and their results, I have become permanently homebound due to concern with the danger of the Coronavirus.

"This is astonishing", said the mendicants and pilgrims,
"that nowadays everyone has become a householder!"
