WOMAN: One year of Corona: How are you?
Hans-Peter Hutter: While many people throw their nerves away, I'm still surprisingly in a good mood. Some think: "annoying" in a good mood. I attribute this to my zodiac sign (Aries - Sagittarius ascendant).
WOMAN: What are you missing acutely at the moment?
Hans-Peter Hutter: The freedom of movement of my right shoulder, the freedom of movement in general (keyword "curfew") and a little brown guy sitting in my favorite pastry shop and … paddling in a "dangerous surf".
WOMAN: And what are you most looking forward to after the lockdown? What will you do first?
Hans-Peter Hutter: Keep my promise: finally drive with my son in the Prater Autodrom. Relax in a thermal bath and enjoy a little brown beer while sitting in my favorite pastry shop.
WOMAN: Who do you want to finally hug again?
Hans-Peter Hutter: Everyone who actually wants to be hugged by me … despite the lockdown of my right shoulder. And of course: THE WORLD!

WOMAN: One year of Corona: How are you?
Daniel deep digger: As the father of three children, I am currently on parental leave and my wife is in the home office.
