CONCERNS

I worry about the little enterprises which don´t get enough help because they are very much in danger and need help (money) - more than anyone else. Without these litte cafés e.g. the destination would not be the same after the crisis... (June, 2020)

IDEAS

One idea I had was to offer a "babysitting service" for parents who had to stay at home and work. Because that would keep people who are out of work busy and it would relieve the parents for a few hours who are stuck at home with them all day.

The service would include doing homework with the children and going outside as getting infected was less likely outdoors.

Another idea I had (which other cities and countries are doing already) was to offer more home delivery services. I think in Innsbruck we lacked take away/delivery services not only from restaurants but also from bars and pubs. But also companies which normally do not offer delivery services could have adapted quicker, for example: books (Tyrolia/Wagnerische/Thalia) or wool and fabric from small shops in town. Pretty much anything that would have kept you busy and sane during lock down. Which would have also created more jobs during this crisis. (June, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

I really like the idea. But I am afraid the world is too greedy to make any honest changes in any other direction than making money/profit. (May, 2020)
