Even if the radius has become much smaller after a year of pandemic: Nobody should say they haven't broadened their horizons.

That was possible without getting on the plane to South America or the Far East and, because it was the first day of vacation, to feel the beginning of a flu-like infection, but not to take it seriously.

What kind of virological sensitivities have been added after a year: how viruses behave in the air, how the Comirnaty vaccine works against it and what significance the incidence figures have.

    Elsewhere, people have also learned to subordinate life not only to these numbers, but to a certain color scheme. Italy is right at the forefront, with its division of the regions: white (great!), Yellow (a lot is possible!), Orange ( Attention!) And red (stop!).

    Or Israel with its Green Passport of Freedom.

    Or Great Britain with the idea of ​​putting the Corona traffic light on the world map in the sense of safe travel or just not even taking off.

    Colors according to the traffic light logic

    A sensible rain jacket is also recommended for those who stayed at home, if only because it is impossible to go to the café these days if it suddenly starts to pour. Of course, the jacket could also be navy blue, but in many countries it is currently also showing how color theory can make life a bit clearer.

    So maybe a rain jacket in yellow is a good idea, in the color of possibilities. The model for women with volume and waist cord is by Marc O'Polo. Or one in lime green, like the promise of better times: the jacket for men with black zippers is from Stone Island. If you prefer to wear a jacket in orange or red, for example the coat from Woolrich or the one with a neat collar and hood from Herno or the loose hoodie blouson from Moncler - you don't have to take the traffic light logic too seriously. Because instead of colors, the hard numbers still apply in this country.
