Now that the shock has worn off and we face the COVID-19 pandemic reality, our collective efforts are needed to flatten the curve.

Shoutout to all the essential workers, including the hard working people in the construction sector. Many are building emergency pandemic structures, donating PPE to healthcare workers and more. 

if your business or organization has a “good news story” about your efforts to battle this pandemic, make sure to let me know about it before next Friday at noon so it can be included in the next issue of the Weekly Round Up.

Thanks for checking out the week’s headline links below. Be strong, healthy and safe.

Best Regards,

Arnie Gess, Publisher and President
