Discusses how businesses are impacted by traumatic events and pandemics such as the current Coronavirus (COVID-19). As I write this in late March, we are early in the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It is like nothing any of us have experienced before, except perhaps the very few who may have lived through the flu pandemic of 1918–1920. The COVID-19 crisis is like a combination of all the worst we’ve seen. There is social trauma as we isolate ourselves, lose some individual liberties, and try to work from home. We don’t know when society will return to normal and, when it does, how it will have changed.

创伤时代 [MicroBusiness]

讨论企业如何受到创伤性事件和流行病（例如当前的冠状病毒 (COVID-19)）的影响。当我在 3 月下旬写这篇文章时，我们正处于冠状病毒 (COVID-19) 大流行的早期。除了可能经历过 1918 年至 1920 年流感大流行的极少数人之外，我们任何人之前都没有经历过这种情况。COVID-19 危机就像是我们所见过的所有最糟糕情况的结合。当我们孤立自己、失去一些个人自由并尝试在家工作时，会产生社会创伤。我们不知道社会何时会恢复正常，以及何时会发生变化。
