Corona virus has now infected Germany as a hole; school shutdown, home office, cancelled events/soccer games.
A N D: Sold out Toilet paper (4 layer soft variant, 3 layer will be sold out soon..), kitchen roll, pasta, rice, laundry hygiene rinser and: plain soap (solid bar).

We ran out of soap (ok, we took the last bar of soap from our stock) and I simply wanted to restock oner or two bars ... no hamstering.
This Pasta thing is remarkable: Empty shelves where the pasta sat and right next to it full shelves with pasta sauce!?

Also no shortage of fresh milk products, fresh fruits and vegetables or canned fruit, canned vegetables or canned soups/stews.
So no problem in that department for me.

This is indeed a very stylish piece of TE. Design icon (Designikone) was the first thought that struck me.
Not only the flat form factor (seems to be only 1HE high) but also the design of the slide switches, the front in that area or the knobs looks like it was holisticly designed not by an engineer but a true designer. Wow.

I'm no Nixie fan boy but I do recognise the effort of squeezing those tubes in that flat housing.
