Jakupcsek Gabriella - Alul semmi? - Veszélyek and esélyek COVID idején

Covid has thrown all of our lives off course. But how do we view these changes, as a threat or as an opportunity? In his new book, the popular television presenter, who also worked throughout the quarantine period, constantly reports on everything that most interested us, the viewers, in connection with the epidemic and the difficulties of the closures in his feel-good talk show.
How did nothing at the bottom become the symbol of the coronavirus, when we tried to maintain the appearance of normality while working from home online, dressed nicely on top, but wearing pajama pants on the bottom? Why did couriers become everyday heroes? How did healthcare and digital education fare? How did culture become convinced that it is the key to our survival? How much did the lack of human relationships wear on us when kisses, hugs, and handshakes disappeared from our everyday lives? When for months we could only meet the people dearest to us wearing a mask and keeping a distance, when we had to accept that there would be no Easter, no Christmas, no family holidays? The author shares with us tense, instructive stories from his own and other people's lives, his thoughts make us ponder further, and he supplements all this with interesting facts from cultural history, since epidemics have accompanied the history of mankind for centuries.
What's next? - asks Gabriella Jakupcsek. We have all suffered heavy losses, but this trying period can also be seen as something that takes us further along the path of development. It can help us learn to manage our precious life time more efficiently, get rid of unnecessary burdens, and keep only what really supports us. Facing what happened, drawing the right conclusions, and adapting to the new circumstances is now, as always, unavoidable.
