Brace Yourself for a Bumpy Ride


Whether you think the virus was overhyped or it was the most dangerous disease since Ebola a couple of years ago, we are all in for a bumpy ride.  Not only will businesses have to adapt to the climate we are in, but so will many consumers.  DeliveryMaxx is here to help businesses overcome the obstacles they will face while navigating the new playing field that seems to be changing daily.
In the beginning there were two schools of thought.  The first group were those who believed walking outside would lead to certain death of your loved ones and thus they embraced a two week or even two month inconvenience of shutting down all businesses.  Of course that didn’t mean essential businesses like Walmart, Costco, McDonalds, Braum’s, liquor stores, government offices and other “essential businesses”.  As long as we saved one life the cost of a few dollars in somebody’s pocket was a price they were willing to take.  Many of the people who were in favor for a little break in the hustle and bustle of life were those who worked in the medical fields, education and had jobs that continued to pay their salaries.

However, the second group of dissenters questioned the politicians and media and the numbers they continued to shove down the throats of America.  They tried to point out the graph that Epidemiologist, Neil Ferguson came up with showing that 2.2 million Americans would die by April 15th was based on 100% of the population getting the seasonal virus.  They tried to point out that if people were put under house arrest that businesses would fail.  They tried to show that millions of businesses and jobs would be lost if we didn’t balance out the hypocrisy.   These people were labeled as insensitive and greedy.  They were identified as people who would rather see their grandparent die rather than lose a dollar.

A Pork Filled 2.2 Trillion Dollar Stimulus Package was passed and the 389 Billion Dollars allocated to small businesses was swallowed up by big businesses and friends of the big banks.  The other 1.8 trillion dollars went to groups that continue to line the pockets of our politicians.

So what are the facts today?  As of April 23, 2020 the United States has a mortality rate of 47,684 people.  The majority of the deaths were those who were elderly or had underlying health conditions and a few outlier cases that have been sensationalized by the mainstream media.  This still represents .0001445 of the population.  These numbers include the nearly 4,000 deaths that New York suspected that someone might have had COVID-19 and added the numbers to the death total.  Also reported is that the United States has had only 849,094 cases although California LA County probably had an additional 442,000 cases that nobody accounted for because they had no or very mild symptoms.  Thus, the virus is real.  The virus is contagious.  The virus has an even lower death rate than what the government was telling us.  Here is a number you might want to see.  Out of all of the deaths this year, the Coronavirus represents less than .0026 percent of deaths.  As a matter of fact, today the United States has already had 63,600 deaths before noon.

According to an article published by Fortune today, the real unemployment rate has soared past 20% with the United States increasing the job casualties to 26.5 million as another 4.4 million Americans filed unemployment claims by the end of April 18th.  That is the 5th consecutive month over 3 million jobs being lost according to the U.S. Department of Labor.  Add the new members of the unemployment with the 7.1 million who were unemployed prior to March 13th and the total of real unemployment is 33 million or a rate of 20.6% which is the highest level since 1934 when America was coming out of The Great Depression.  As a reminder, at 25% unemployment, we will be in entering into The 2nd Great Depression.  The first one brought us the following: homelessness, increased crime rate both violent and non-violent, child abuse, marital dissolutions, alcohol and drug addiction, inability to pursue a higher education and death.  The death was associated with suicides, mental health, violent crimes and a lower ability to maintain health.  Instead of those who are elderly and have underlying health conditions, everyone will be effected by The 2nd Great Depression.

The bright spot is that through adversity, innovation is born.  Many businesses and entities, no matter how insane regulations and obstacles our government has put in front of them, have found a way to overcome and provide a living for their family and the families they employ.  To recover or even avoid being completely shut down, businesses must embrace a technological transformation in automation as well as trying to provide their message to the masses gaining a reach to solicit, sell and service their products.  In today’s world, businesses now more than ever must have a digital strategy.  Today it is the Coronavirus, tomorrow it will be something else.  Our customers are spending more hours of the day online shopping, researching or mindless browsing.  Now more than ever, all eyes are on social media.
