However, people outside of our business look a bit askance at this type of planning. It is outlandish, unlikely, improbable, never happened before in their lifetime, etc. The opinions get much more emphatic when what you are planning for is or might be impacting them and their "freedoms" to operate in a manner that they individually believe is their right.
All of these elements are present in this podcast: "When the Pandemic Came to Rural Wisconsin."
Podcast description:
"When the pandemic struck, Patty Schachtner, in her capacity as both a member of the Wisconsin State Senate and chief medical officer for St. Croix County, tried to remain one step ahead. It was an approach criticized by many in her conservative community. She was preparing for the worst-case scenario. And now it has arrived — cases and deaths are on the rise in Wisconsin. We chart her journey through the months of the pandemic. Guest: Julie Bosman, who covers the Midwest for The New York Times, spoke with Patty Schachtner over several months about how she was experiencing the pandemic. We want to hear from you. The recent coronavirus outbreak in Wisconsin has escalated rapidly. As coronavirus cases rise across the United States, death rates have been rising far more slowly. But there are signs that this is shifting. Last week, Wisconsin was among a number of states that recorded more deaths in the previous seven days than in any other week of the pandemic."
