Lives, businesses, economy and many aspects are impacted. Like it or not, we have to make new adjustments. I oftentimes find myself forgot to put on my mask when I got out of my car. So, I decided to put it on the moment I leave my house, get in the car and get out of the car. Instead of "when can I meet you?", the new question is "when can we zoom?"
