This is a good question. More focus on the things that are really important and stop the nonsense and bullshit stuff. To be more present and enjoy the things that you have, that we have. I mean, in Germany, we can be very happy. The situation is much better than in other countries. But also in our family, we enjoy being together. We do things we haven't done before, like gardening, for example.

Yes, more gardening. Less media, more people. And enjoying the moment or being with someone became more special to me right now. I value more being with someone.

I think we raised on the attitude that it's never good enough. And my wildest dream is that there is a moment to realise that in many ways we just do have enough. And that in the cases, we don't have what we need it is a problem of distribution and not a problem of individual achievements. That somebody didn't learn enough, that somebody didn't work hard enough, that somebody is not smart enough, or that somebody doesn't have the motivation or the stamina to survive in an economic world that has long been described in a kind of romantic image of a jungle where everybody fights for survival. Of course, there's death in this world. And of course there is! But it is about stepping out of this story and appreciate that a lot of things are good enough and that we have more than we need and that it's about sharing this for the better of everybody.

In the beginning, it seemed like something that we always go through, but this time seems like so much bigger. SARS and MERS it was big, but I didn't experience it around me, so. You know, I feel like in an emergency. Usually it's not around me. It's a big news in the world. It's somewhere in distance and I forget in three days. But I actually see it now. My friend's friend got corona virus and my work is all canceled. Shops are closed. Toilet paper is scarce. Yes, it's around me finally and it's not in the newspaper or just news on TV. You know, I feel like it's first time that I'm in the news. I'm actually there. I'm part of it.
