Tag: starting a business during the pandemic

Yesterday, I posted
about the precautions
we can take
to tackle the seemingly never ending
barrage of viruses.

I was told
‘No one worries
about the pandemic anymore.’

We should ALWAYS worry
about placing employees
and customers in danger.

We should worry because
that is a caring, human thing
to do.

But we should also worry,
as business owners,
because we could get
our a$$es sued off
if people come to harm
in our businesses.

The lawsuits
involving COVID
might not be happening very often now
but I suspect
they WILL happen in the future.

We aren’t ‘no one’s.
And we aren’t ‘the average person’.

We’re business owners.

Don’t be careless
with other people’s lives.

There seems to be reports
of impending new pandemics
everyday
– New Variants of COVID,
Monkeypox, TB, Ebola,
Polio.

It can be frightening,
especially for business builders
who want to keep
our customers and employees safe.

The good news,
however,
is we’re ready for this.

Most of the precautions
we have installed
for COVID
– wearing masks, hand washing/disinfecting,
social distancing
– prevent or slow
the spread of these new threats.

Keep disinfectant bottles filled.
Have masks available.
Encourage our employees/partners
to wear them.

And we should
survive all this.
