Thank you Helene Rodrigue and Margo Davis for sharing this HBR article. The notion of anticipatory grief and the feeling we get about what the future holds when we are uncertain, resonates very much. https://hbr.org/2020/03/that-discomfort-youre-feeling-is-grief

A great step by step article from Forbes.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianthompson1/2020/03/29/getting-cash-for-your-small-business-through-the-cares-act/

Your small business need cash right now? The government has stepped up to help. I cover the main two ways your business can get cash now that the CARES Act is law. We’ll also discuss the steps you need to take to make sure you can get your money as efficiently as possible.

This is probably the cleanest and easiest to read summary version of the CARES act geared at small and medium sized business owners. About a 3 minute read.

https://www.trinet.com/insights/cares-act-2-2-trillion-stimulus-will-help-small-and-medium-size-businesses-to-access-loans-to-cover-payroll

The CARES Act provides unprecedented financial support for businesses and allows small and medium sized businesses to receive federal loans – in some cases forgivable – to cover payroll and other expenses.

A nice summary of the CARES Act from the American Bankers Association.

Section 139 could be helpful.

Section 139 was designed for times like these; it allows an employer to make tax-free payments to employees to cover certain COVID-19 related expenses.

Please consider protecting your public video conferences. Trolls are disrupting public Zoom calls.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/style/zoombombing-zoom-trolling.html?referringSource=articleShare

From the Zoom team:
Disable 'Join Before Host' so participants cannot join the meeting before the host arrives
· Start and schedule secured meetings by adding a meeting password
· Change of the Personal Meeting ID if it is affected
· If the meeting is recurring, we suggest deleting the affected meeting and start a new recurring meeting with a different meeting ID
· If the meeting is a past meeting and it is not recurring, we recommend deleting this meeting

To further enhance the security of the account, please consider the following security features:

· Enable end-to-end encrypted meetings
· Enable a waiting room so participants cannot join a meeting until a host admits them individually from the waiting room
· Require participants to sign into their Zoom account before they can join your meeting
· Limit participants to join only with a specified email domain

As a host you also have the below available in-meeting security features available:

· Remove a participant
· Lock a meeting so no other individuals can join at that point
· As a host, you have all recording permissions, and you can disable the option for participants to record the meeting you are hosting
· Limit who can share a screen to only the host - Disable the option for the host and participants to share their screen or content during meetings
· Temporary pause screen-sharing when a new window is opened
· Automatically mute all participants when they initially join the meeting and control whether they can later unmute themselves
· Disable attendee annotation
