On the one hand, the news out of Toronto — and across the globe — is getting increasingly grim. Efforts to slow the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) haven’t quite gotten off the ground here in North America just yet (particularly in America). The situation is likely going to get worse in the short term before taking a turn for the better. We’ll make it there — but there are going to be rough times ahead.
On the other hand, some good local news: with the suspension of professional sports leagues — namely the NBA and NHL — and the cancellation of major events, there’s been much concern over what would happen to all of the support staff and arena/stadium workers whose livelihoods will be affected by the shutdown.
