As the days of the C<\/span>OVID<\/span>-19 pandemic drag on, governments all over the world are\u00a0<\/span>unveiling\u00a0<\/span>plans to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>open<\/span>\u00a0the economy while keeping ev<\/span>eryone safe.

Against this backdrop<\/span>, we are being asked to use\u00a0<\/span>common sense<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to figure our way through th<\/span>e\u00a0<\/span>whole dilemma of self-<\/span>distancing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>while\u00a0<\/span>we re-engage enough to<\/span>\u00a0do things like go<\/span>\u00a0back to work<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>see our families<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>open<\/span>\u00a0our business\u00a0<\/span>or agency\u00a0<\/span>to suppliers<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>customers<\/span>, and clients<\/span>. This raise<\/span>s many questions<\/span>\u00a0for me.
