    Corona Live-Ticker from the notorious BILD newspaper.
  2. How do you manage to stay professionally and personally connected despite the distance?
    Previously afraid of meetings. Still afraid of meetings.
  3. Since Corona, no day has been the same, and decisions made yesterday may not matter today. How do you motivate yourself daily?

  4. How will the Corona crisis influence your work environment long term?
    Less nonsense. More action.

    My entire team.
  7. Is Corona still a dominant topic for you, or are issues like #blacklivesmatters, Trump, or the next vacation more important?

  8. Do you think Corona has made you and all of us more critical?
    We are a privileged society. Democracy is normal for many of us. I think we could all be more political and stand up more for democracy, starting with myself.
  9. Do you believe brands/companies should react to these issues now, or is it better to ignore them?
    I don’t think yogurt needs a stance. A bio-tampon might, though.
