The Show:
As we close in on the end of April, it’s hard to believe that we’re already moving into the third month of the coronavirus pandemic.
We’ve been talking about it since February and it’s a topic that still dominates many of the conversations we have each week. So let’s stay on the subject and provide another update on what we’re seeing and how everyone is doing.
The good news is our business and the people we interact with on a daily basis have all been handling things as best we can. Even though that’s the case, that doesn’t degrade the impact this pandemic has had on all of us. Don has spent a lot of time reading news from around the world and listening to a number of epidemiology podcasts to get as much accurate information as possible and he’ll talk about that on the show.
He’ll also tell us about the biggest changes and adjustments clients have been considering. One thing we have noticed is that many people are a bit confused about the new IRA rules so we’ll spend some time clearing that up on this episode as well.
Since everything we hear about and talk about seems so serious, we’ll take a lighter approach to begin and end the show. We’ll open things open with two pieces of quarantine trivia and we’ll close things out by finding out what message Don would send to himself 20 years ago based on what he knows now.
