Last March, as it was dawning on the world just how seismic the COVID-19 pandemic would be, I wrote a blog urging people in the jewelry industry to hang on. Reflecting on past crises, like 9/11 and the 2008 financial meltdown, I said: “If I could go back in time, and give myself advice as I lived through those two crises, I’d say, ‘Things will get better.’ ”
While nothing I put in that post was wrong, in retrospect it was rather naive. It assumed COVID-19 would be over in a few months. I didn’t imagine the human toll this virus would take, nor how long this would drag on. It’s one year later, and I’m still working from home, and likely will for a lot longer.
