The Sky Didn’t Fall After All - BY Reuvain Borchardt FOR HAMODIA

As the coronavirus pandemic raged across the United States last year and the nation went into lockdown, the effect on the national economy was acute. Overnight, stores were shuttered, factories closed, production lines ceased, and millions of people became unemployed.

Now, more than a year into the pandemic, Hamodia reconnected with nine of the interviewees to see how the past year has been for them, and how they are doing now. Everyone we spoke with says they are now doing as well as, if not better than, they were before the pandemic. Difficult as the shutdown may have been, and despite significant lingering issues like production and shipping delays, the sky didn’t fall after all.
