Vox Populi with Kateryna Grushenko

Economist
“It doesn’t really matter to me, because I still go to office every day and do my usual routine. I’m only worried that the government will announce a state of emergency. It would mess up my plan to get married in January.”
Larysa Bespalova
Teacher
“I don’t know about Kyiv, but in Donetsk where I work, we definitely need to prolong the quarantine. The wave of flu that started in western Ukraine has just come to the east of the country. We need to keep kids out of school for at least another week.”
Aleksandr Mamon
Student
“I can’t wait for the quarantine to be over. I’m healthy and I’m bored to stay at home. Every day we hang out in the center with friends, but after 3 weeks it became boring. I want to go back to the university.”
Denis Buklov
Student
“It’s not an easy question. On one hand, if we extend the quarantine, it will be very difficult to catch up with the program before the examination period starts. On the other hand, people who are sick will be put in a difficult position and many of them will still come to classes and spread the virus to the healthy.”
Nadezhda Akima
Merchandiser
“The whole swine flu thing is much exaggerated. We don’t have more people sick with flu now that in the previous year. As you can see, there are less people now wearing masks in public transportation and we don’t have more patients or dead because of it.”
