Economic recovery from the pandemic that we are in will not be instantaneous. Likely we will be returning to a "new normal." There are plenty of dire predictions for the end of big box retail store chains. Personally, I don't see how Sears, which has been going downhill for decades, bounces back out of this one.

However, not every business is Sears. Check out this article, What can firms do now in the midst of a pandemic? The author covers a wide range of topics related to planning now for the recovery period that will eventually come.
