Proud of Our Industry
Three weeks into social distancing and so much has changed in our world. By the time you read this, our world will have changed even more. As I write this, it appears New York is making the turn to recovery, and shockingly the media is beginning to say positive things, which gives me hope. I just saw the first political ad for president in three weeks, which tells me we’re back on the mend.
Our industry is in the eyes of the world right now, and the collaboration between distributors and manufacturers has been incredible to watch. From seeing the national distribution five CEOs with POTUS to hearing stories of entire physician offices giving standing ovations to distribution drivers, it is such an honor to serve in this space. Thank you to every
one taking care of the providers. The work you’re doing is incredible.It will be so interesting to see how history records this time.
Here are a few funny thoughts to hopefully brighten your day:
- 6 feet of separation.
- Don’t make eye contact with anyone at the grocery store.
- Toilet paper (enough said). WTH people?
- Zoom Meetings.
- Zoom Happy Hours, or as I like to say ItsZoomO’clockSomewhere
- How many extra bottles of Titos you’ve stocked up on says you might have a problem.
- POTUS and Cuomo press conferences – I’d rather go to the dermatologist than watch another one of either (No offense to the Derms).
- We have either lost 10 pounds or gained 15.
- No sports!
- Text threads with more people than you thought you knew.
- Just wanting to sit in a restaurant.
- No haircuts.
I could go on, but it would probably go downhill from here. I do believe this time of being still at home with family has had many positive effects on us all. It’s also given us time to reflect on what is truly important.
I miss seeing my med-surg family and hope you are all staying safe.
Dedicated to the industry,
