Many of us saw the outbreak of SARS or EBOLA, but both of these pandemics were before we had a fully embraced world economy. Today we have a full global and connected economy, one that has spirited our growth but also brings with it certain risks because we are so globally connected. Now we are now living those risks.
The pandemic is hitting the entire economy, and maybe the big guys will survive, with government help, but what about the local businesses? They are being hit the most. Local businesses depend on local foot traffic and many are not prepared to do business any other way.
