Glad to see you are well and agree very much with your assessment. I'd take it a step further and say that's not the only thing with which they played hocus pocus in this mess. Their government needs to be held to account for its part in this disaster, but I'm not convinced the governments of the world have the will power to do so. Stay well.

This coronavirus mess smells like a real turd. Governments printed trillions for a bad flu it looks like and lined their pockets or bail out the banks because I never saw a penny. Does anyone else know of anyone who got any sort of payment?

Payments are coming though most people won’t be able to really survive on the amount that’s coming to offset their losses.

Overall this whole pandemic is a mess. I hope people stay home for Easter and not think that because this is a holiday, they can go out and celebrate. Covid knows no holidays and doesn’t discriminate.

Advice : Buy a "CTEK" my friend , it's the best battery charger you can get on the market .
I'm using my CTEK for over 8 years . My battery is still fine , as you know my M is a garage queen .
Pic. is from in my trunk with my CTEK in action , and a video with Jay Leno about CTEK .

I see . CTEK is a smart charger , it will never overload your battery. Will never run hot .
Battery chargers from BMW are made by CTEK , it's the same charger with the brand name BMW on it .
I charge directly on my battery in my trunk with the central CTEK connector . Only with one click-plug . The CTEK connector is connected to my + and - pole of the battery , and stays always connected on my battery . It takes me only 4-5 seconds of work . And I let it sit over the weekends in my trunk .
So easy and so quick ..

My friend .I meant that I always charge/load my battery over the weekends for +/- 48 hours

Yesterday I have read an article from a Covid-19 virus expert ,
He said : One sneeze from a corona patient can spread the virus in a circle from 15 meters !
Just talking with a virus patient can give you the virus from a distance from 4 meters away !
The virus remains alive on surfaces for 7-9 days . Depends of the material-composition of the surface ...

Be carefull my friends !
