Are we in the eye of the COVID storm?

Hurricanes have been in the news again recently as Hurricane Sally is wreaking havoc, slowing moving along the gulf coast with damaging winds and heavy flooding expected from the Florida Panhandle through Southeastern Mississippi. 

The COVID-19 crisis can be viewed as being hurricane-like in its impact, moving slowly along the national landscape causing damage of all kinds. While some recent numbers have been encouraging, many experts are concerned that we may be in the eye of the hurricane...a brief calmness before the second wave of the storm hits. They are concerned that a relaxing of measures leading into seasonal flu season and upcoming fall and winter weather driving people into fewer social distancing options....could result in a spike we are not prepared to handle.
​
Regardless of whether or not their health concerns are accurate, there is no denying the economic impact is certainly about to be felt in a 'second wave' type pattern.
