    The coronavirus has forced Berliners to readjust their day-to-day lives and activities over the past weeks. Rico Todzi, on the other hand, has had to do so since birth, as he is in a wheelchair in a city that isn’t the friendliest to people who use them.

    That’s helped the 38-year-old adjust quicker than most to the confining life of a city dweller in the time of the pandemic.

    “Sometimes they say people, older people or people with special needs…should stay at home, but I have no problems with my lungs.” - Rico Todzi
