From the Publisher: Ryan’s Remarks By Ryan T. Sauers @RyanSauers
@RyanTSauers
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 COVID-19 a Pandemic; March 13, 2020: President Declares COVID-19 a National Emergency (https://www.ajmc.com/view/a-timeline-ofcovid19-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-alifetime 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. We are approaching the spring season and warmer weather. This means longer daylight hours and more fun. So, hang in there folks as I predict we are all going to have a great spring and summer of 2022. Also, I may not know you directly, but your feedback and encouragement to me (directly or indirectly) is greatly appreciated. Your support helps me remain optimistic and encouraging in writing these columns and on radio, TV, podcast shows, etc. Iron (indeed) sharpens iron. Let me encourage us all to take a moment and reflect on the past two years. It has been tough. Unprecedented. Frustrating. Confusing. Overwhelming. Unknown, etc. Quite frankly, there are no real words that are good enough to encompass or describe how
