decent

The Autobahn is like it was in the sixties, few cars and some trucks. A traffic blockage would make the news.
It is just that the fast cars are so much faster,

Draft a truck. that might save petrol. Also, closely following a huge truck means that the other drivers respect for the solidity of the enormous vehicle affects the follower too. They keep their distance, the racers, and change their lane well before passing.
They never pass in the same lane with such a big car ahead.

The truck leaves for the airport.
A small vehicle, a delivery van, passes, sharing the lane.
Frightening.


But there are so few cars on the road
People are in the same hurry as they always are.
Because they can drive fast they do.



arrive at work
there is not a soul
a workman in the distance

but all is quiet, all is silenced by the fear of infection,
all is silenced by the new law, the one that was made to reduce the danger of many infections.
That is done so that those who fall ill may have decent treatment. and that those who die may have a decent burial
