But my understanding is that Russia shut down Nord stream 1 a month ago and no gas has flowed since.

Germany's short to medium term energy plans assume no Russian gas.
Either war is coming very soon, or important people have gone to enormous lengths to make it appear that we are on the precipice of war.

The best we can do is take precautions commensurate with our financial circumstances.
