My thought for the day- With more people working from home and doing conference calls, will you become more efficient? You can stack back to back and have more calls per day than meetings. Or less efficient due to all the distractions you may have at home- TV, Family, Pets. etc.?

I’m trying to figure out if this quote from Winston Churchill makes sense in today’s environment? “Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”

My thought for the day—I try to be 100% positive all the time. But, if I have to get tested for CV19, I certainly hope it’s negative. There! I’m being positive about being negative.

Just a thought-does anyone think the response to action to CV19 is akin to the story of the Frog in the pot of boiling water? If a 100% mandatory shutdown of all business was imposed immediately- there would be a revolt. But, over time, as the hysteria and reality sink in, easier

I’m sharing this not to scare everyone, but provide more info. and context.  Very interesting simulators in here.  It shows even moderate quarantine doesn’t work. NYC just shut down 50% of work force. By Monday, it might be 100% shutdown for the Nation.  https://wapo.st/2QrAZyS 

Could you imagine being on the TV Show Big Brother (where you are sequestered away from the world), and being there for the last month?  Then, when you are released, you enter into shutdowns, empty bars, closed stores and social distancing. Believe it?  

Big applauds to Dollar General store.  They have moved to allow only Seniors into the stores in the first hour.  This keeps them away from larger crowds or at risks. The morning also gives them access to the store when it is the most stocked and sanitized. 

My prediction–Time “Person” on the year- Corona Virus (Even though it’s not really a person).  The new word for the year to be added to Webster’s Dictionary– Social Distancing.
