Here I am writing this column for March 2022, and I want you to consider a few things that began occurring over two years ago. February 25, 2020: CDC Says COVID-19 is Heading Toward Pandemic Status; March 6, 2020: 21 Passengers on California Cruise Ship Test Positive; March 11, 2020: WHO Declares COVID19 a Pandemic; March 13, 2020: President Declares COVID-19 a National Emergency (https://www.ajmc.com/ view/a-timeline-of-covid19-developments-in-2020) Wow. Okay, I will stop there. It is difficult for me, and I am sure for you, to read this and see these events were over two years ago. With that said, it seems like yesterday. This time period will be etched into our minds forever. For example, I first heard the term “pivot” regarding business in early March 2020 from a friend. I have since heard it thousands of times. We have likely experienced this pandemic in different ways. However, it is fair to say, we have all gone through a once-in-a-lifetime experience together. It has been tough, strange, weird, etc., to have so many things (even those trickle-down effect items) in a constant state of change. Continued on page 20
