How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, I did not feel that I adapted easily. My first reaction was fear and uncertainty, wondering what would happen next. Instead of staying still, I started sewing face masks to help respond to the immediate situation in a practical way.
As the crisis continued, I became increasingly active on Facebook, using my voice to share concerns, raise awareness, and encourage people to think carefully about the decisions they were making. During that period, public discourse was highly polarized, and even expressing certain geopolitical views or questioning official narratives could make people feel judged or isolated. I also began seeing more information related to Ukraine and Russia, which deepened my sense that the world was entering a more unstable phase.
I kept writing and trying to warn Mongolian people in particular, hoping to help the people I cared about stay informed and prepared. Many people did not fully understand my concerns, and over time I found myself distancing from some Czech friends while focusing more on reaching Mongolians who I felt needed awareness. A small circle of close friends, however, remained the same throughout and stayed grounded.
At the same time, the uncertainty around health decisions became emotionally overwhelming. I heard painful stories at work and around me—some people reportedly passed away the day after receiving the vaccine, while others who had not been vaccinated also never woke up the next morning. Whether these events were directly connected or not, the atmosphere of fear, grief, and unpredictability made the entire period feel even heavier.
Although I personally did not want to be vaccinated, I eventually found myself in a situation where I felt I had no other choice and received one dose. About a week later, I experienced several days of physical exhaustion and body pain, which left a strong impression on me.
Later, when the global atmosphere shifted further into the Russia–Ukraine war, some people around me misunderstood my intentions and even thought I was becoming extreme. In reality, I simply wanted people to pay attention to how quickly the world was changing.
Looking back, my adaptation was not about easily accepting change, but about trying to respond through action, communication, and protecting the people I cared about, even when others did not always listen.
