The secret of crisis management is not good vs. bad, it’s preventing the bad from getting worse.

For a minute there I forgot what day it was. This crisis is so much more than just about a virus.
It’s Not Business As Usual People
As of March 24th, there have been nearly 418,000 cases of the Coronavirus. A little over 108,000 have recovered and 18,600 have died. Those are staggering numbers that if nothing would have been done it would have been worse. Some would rather us return to business as usual sooner rather than later but this pandemic is not over.
This is like a war and most wars are not won in a matter of days or weeks but more like months and years. The need to return to work should come at a time when the rates of infection slow down and treatment is in place.
Until then we have to focus on prevention, care, and a cure. Right now our governments need to step up and create a solution to keep us from losing our homes, jobs, defaulting on loans and that sort of thing. Now is not the time for arguing but action.
Friends this is a long-term event and we must have the courage to face it. There is indeed a new normal and everyone going to hurt a little and we have to be strong and open to doing some things that are different. Inconvenience is a part of struggling through anything.
Be strong friends. We can do this if we come together.

All these dismal things that are going on in the world – the isolation and the sickness and the governments and the pollution – it’s so frightful, over the whole world.

Coronavirus Commentary
The global crisis we face is one based upon science, technology, medicine and yep a little bit of faith. Investing in all of those things is what is going to bring about a treatment for the Coronavirus. For those who are wondering when this will be over, I don’t know No one knows. We have to ride this thing out for as long as it takes. Worrying about the economy is worrying about the wrong thing. Everyone is going to take a hit of some sort. Life will be unpleasant at times. People will die, people will survive. The chase for instant gratification is a fool’s errand. It’s going to be a rough ride.
