New York has been a global hotspot for Covid-19, though now thankfully they seem to be flattening their curve. But in this past week they’ve seen a worrying phenomenon: people getting the disease and needing hospitalisation have been people who were staying at home and supposedly keeping themselves safe.

We all have to adjust our daily and hourly routines and incorporate a new mindfulness about our interactions with others and the world around us. The sooner we all do this the sooner we beat the disease and the sooner we can start opening our economies up again.
Opening our economies is partly a government regulation issue and partly a customer confidence issue - and that part is really up to us, so let’s each do our bit to keep ourselves and everyone around us safe.
