the US to Brazil, South Africa or China Will the coronavirus crisis
trump other urgent issues? (Keyword-relevant?) The lockdown created
funny behaviors: hoarding of toilet paper and DIY haircuts as well as
video conferencing in sweatpants. Unfortunately, social isolation, fear
of the future and economic losses due to short-time working are also
part of our new everyday life. The crisis shows which professions are
relevant for the economic system. Social imbalances and inequalities are
becoming abundantly clear. At the same time, issues that demanded urgent
action before the outbreak of the virus seem to be forgotten, like the
refugee crisis, global warming and the world economic crisis. This
cartoon book critically comments on the current situation and makes us
rethink our priorities!
