Being fully into digital world now, does it also help reviving the Country's economy that fast?
How do you cope up with this new normal set up?

It's not a fully digital world by any means. Most work and manufacturing can't be done remotely. Some people are working from home and some are milking unemployment, but for the most part things haven't changed that much. The main differences: masks, social distancing and limited capacity inside businesses, more usage of e-commerce and delivery services.

I'm glad the technology (Zoom, etc.) was available so businesses could quickly transition to remote working. It definitely softened the blow of the lockdowns. The economic damage (job losses, output) will still be felt for years after this though.
