Peter_COVID pandemic_positive and negatives parts_Lithuania
Please Report the Errrors?
Uh, hello. Hello? Uh,
could you tell me, uh, what has been your experience of COVID-19, uh,
in the pandemic?
And what is life for you? Like now?
Uh, that's the worst thing ever happened to my life.
COVID-19 that's the worst experience.
Uh, during the lockdown quarantine time,
I couldn't do nothing with stuff like I like to do,
for example,
to hang out with friends to have fun with,
uh,
play football
parties
and that stuff.
And now the situation is getting better and better.
Uh,
they
found the vaccine
for against virus. So I think
everything will be OK.
And, uh, where you were keeping the contact of your friends like online.
Or you did some kind of
just not to lose connection. Or What did you do?
We are online,
online contacting, talking. We do a video chats to see each other
Uh-huh. And
and, uh
But maybe there was some parts of the, uh, time that you enjoyed that,
like maybe being more with yourself or something like that.
It
was a boring time for me,
OK?
And, um,
maybe
you learn something from that
or what did you
What did you bring right now? to
right now live from the pandemic from the quarantine.
Some insights
in
when I
when I was during the quarantine, I was in home. I was
line,
uh,
stuff
like
computer skills, something like that reading a lot of books.
Right.
So it sounds useful.
Yeah,
OK,
but, uh,
So you wouldn't like to come back to the quarantine, right?
And, um
what, maybe have changed.
Like maybe, uh, change some perspective to some kind of things to some friends,
maybe.
Uh uh,
like, um,
it changed some things about, uh, what changed a lot of things for my life.
Like habits. I changed a lot of habits.
Could you tell me more? What kind of for
example?
Uh, for example,
I
didn't read the books, So I now read the books.
Uh,
I sleep more.
Yeah, that's
OK.
And, um,
what in general, maybe changed in your country?
Like, uh, yeah, Right now, it's still the quarantine
in some countries, but, uh,
what kind of things have changed, For example, some places not working some
other ways of working, uh
uh, change the economic of my country,
the people's mind
over
and that. But they not going to the better they going to the worst
and, like in what way do you mean that, like change the perspective to economy.
How they going to worse the economic,
but because of what, you are not working that much.
Uh, you know, there was a quarantine and restaurants. Coffee shops didn't work.
And right now, are they recovering?
Uh,
yeah,
but it's hard for them.
Do you think the economy will come back to the same
point before the quarantine fast or it will take time.
I think economy will grow
worse
about
one tourist. And after that, we will be
OK.
And, um,
do you
know now it is changing all stuff,
the
economy.
There wouldn't be like a paper
money. There will be all electronic.
Yeah, it's an innovative thing to do.
And, um, do you know how C situation changed?
For example, how many students are not working anymore?
Uh, how many people lost their jobs or they, like, adapted themselves? Somehow
a lot of people lose their jobs, and that's hard for him.
So
the restaurant was closed. A lot of,
uh, factories also closed, so, you know, it was a
lot of
losing jobs
and Uh, but maybe there are some,
like, progressive changes in these jobs.
Like maybe they are creating some kind of, uh,
di di digital jobs so that people could work
more easily if that other pandemic would come forward
when the pandemic came. Like quarantines and lockdowns. There are,
uh,
became a lot of new online jobs. So the people start to work well, working online.
So now if you don't work online,
you are not in.
So you need to work online.
That's the
digital. Uh,
that's digitalization.
Right?
Um,
and, uh,
I'm interested also. What about the business? Uh,
in the whole area,
Like maybe there appeared more small business
where people started to create things,
uh, from their own habits from their own,
uh, loved activities. Uh,
how is it?
So, like I said, so now if you
now every business is working online,
so if you don't have online page or something like that, you're not.
So,
but are there many startups
like new ones?
Yeah. That's a lot of new businesses.
And, uh, what do you think? What, uh, did affect that?
Like that? People had, uh, the courage to start their own business.
Even though they never did that.
I think that was,
um, like
that's happened because
they're they're in their home and the lockdown.
And they have, like, free time to think, to get more ideas.
And they become a lot of ideas.
That's
OK.
And do you yourself would consider, consider starting your business
or
your business?
OK, could you tell me more? What do you do?
Uh, I have stocks in one company,
one holding it's not That's a holding with more than 100.
Nice.
Um,
and let's talk about, like, now, what is life like now what has changed for you?
Maybe,
um,
maybe you notice some notices. What's the travelling with some part or
participating in some
events or
anything?
Everything is changed.
In what way?
Travelling was changed. You need
to prove that you're vaccinated or,
uh,
negative test.
And
that's
I think that's a kind of, uh,
like selecting people.
So if you're vaccinated, you can travel. And if you don't, you can't.
And
that situation
you grab the freedom from the people. So I think that's, uh
but
but, uh,
that that situation prevents you from travelling a little bit more or still,
you don't care if you wanna go as earlier.
You do it right now, but just have some obstacles.
Yeah, OK.
And I think, uh, maybe the last one,
uh, many people think, uh, talk about that normal phrase.
Uh, so do you think that the previous normal will, uh, come back someday?
Or it will never be the same again?
Life without masks, activities without vaccines without
this
happen. But
the people communicate now online. They're going to the coffin.
They didn't talk
to
their phones. Like,
didn't that happen before as well?
That's happening. But now it's more.
And do you think it's possible to change that
in some way?
I think it will be hard to change that.
Yeah, because, uh,
you know, like, I think
that people after counting should be missing other people, not the screens.
So it's
quite weird to hear.
Maybe they should, like, put the phones down and just hug each other.
That's not happening, right?
Yeah,
that's
OK.
Well, we will see in a few months or years how it will happen.
And thank you for conversation. Thank you.
