[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 214523, member: 46"] Aww, Tim and Helge, thanks for sharing your stories. It is indeed brutal and I am glad to not be in the USA as the way that this whole thing turned into a political mess where some people are ignoring medical advice, listening to conspiracy theories, going to the streets to protest against masks (which I have a hard time understanding) has had a major negative impact. Tim, the whole Medicare situation for you sucks, maybe you should move to Canada. ;) Of course it is not just the sound companies. I was very sad when my favorite coffee shop went bankrupt recently because of this, and I'm sure everyone at this point can give countless similar examples. I really hope that governments and municipalities around the world are taking the impacts to some of these hard hit industries seriously and make efforts to help before things get way worse. What I've been seeing so far in many countries just isn't enough. I don't have a lot of faith that some members of society will suddenly start thinking about others above themselves, so we will likely be stuck with this for a long time still. Sorry for the dismal, depressing thread..... hoping that those of you who are most affected find a way to get through this. Stay safe. [/QUOTE]
