Larry Mogelonsky | April 8, 2020
By Larry Mogelonsky Whenever the pandemic subsides, fear and new social patterns might linger for quite some time after that in what could best be described as ‘post coronavirus stress disorder’ (PCSD).

Stacy Bercun Bohm | April 7, 2020
By Stacy Bercun Bohm and Daniel Miktus To address the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Governors and local officials have enacted countless emergency orders requiring individuals to stay in their homes except for certain essential activities, and ordering “non-essential” businesses to shut down. While some of the orders – particularly in South Florida – have required hotels to shut down except for certain guests including medical workers and emergency first responders, most of these orders exempt or except the hotel and lodging industry and its employees from these shutdown and stay-at-home measures.
