In your opinion, which Covid wave was the hardest to manage? For us, it was omicron. Things really went down the drain back then, we almost lost our business.

None, to be honest. We work remotely and while some of us got sick, it wasn't the entire team, so it allowed us to keep working as usual.

Omicron, I share the idea with you, if we talk about the company as such, Omicron was the worst because we were barely adapting to the disaster of the first waves and it took us with nothing in our warehouses.

Same. We never got the chance to recover before beep hit the fan again. It was rough.

Definitely Omicron as well. Our entire team got sick at all once and we lost out on a lot of business because we closed down for two weeks.

In my opinion, the third wave of Covid-19 has been the hardest to manage. With cases and deaths rising exponentially around the world, this wave has had a devastating impact on our business, we had to downsize significantly.

I think nothing worse than the first wave, we were not prepared and the failures were disastrous.

I am sure that in the first wave, most of the companies related to the health sector lost a lot of their inventory quickly, the replacement speed was not as expected and, of course, the most important thing was the human losses that we had.

That's a difficult question to answer. The initial lockdowns and wave weren't all that bad since we were still in a good position and had the room to make rapid changes as needed. With every wave after, things started getting messier and resources were depleted.

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.
