We are still in the middle of this horrible pandemic. Data does indicate that we are flattening the curve a bit in some parts of our country, but it still does not look good yet for us to open up things to everyone. It is hard to predict how long it will be before things get back to normal, but it seems clear that it will likely not go back to the way things used to be before the pandemic started until we have a vaccine available for everyone, which could be another 12 to 18 months away.
In the meantime most states will follow a step by step approach in trying to open up things for business. I totally agree with all the state governors that they need to be extremely careful as to how to open up their state businesses in a step by step approach. It is very important to make sure we don’t create another difficult cycle of huge numbers of infections and more deaths.
I can certainly understand the dilemma for the governors – more and more people are going for unemployment insurance – the economy is continuing to take a dive; but I agree with them that you can’t really send people to work unless they have been able to establish a somewhat reliable testing process. I am hopeful that the governors will come up with a reasonable step by step plan that will keep all of us safe.
In the meantime, my publisher is continuing the special promotional offer for my books till April 20. She thought it will be a good time for people to read books while they are stuck at home. That’s why she decided to offer the books (ebook version) at no charge. I thought this was a great suggestion. So if anyone is interested in receiving a free ebook version of any of my books, please go to the following:
