After two months of a Stay-at-Home order, where are we now as Governors around the country start to implement a phased in back to work. The classic clash is starting to happen between what I will call the people who believe it's all a Hoax to the individuals who say it is too soon to go back to work. I cover how technology is here to stay and my believe that social interactions have forever changed for our society. I don't take sides in this episode but I highlight some key things everyone around the world will be deciding individually as we move forward. It is hard to predict what will happen but some things may never be the same. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gary-abbott/support
