Abstract
America is in shock. To date, nearly a quarter of a million Americans have died from COVID-19. In total, the United States has reported over 8 million cases, more than any other country in the world. After a slight lull in late August and September, daily cases are again on the rise, reaching the highest number (more than 68,0000) since July’s peak. The economy is also struggling, with businesses reeling from the rapid and unexpected organizational and financial challenges wrought by the pandemic. Only about half of the 22 million jobs lost when the pandemic first struck have been recovered—in neither equal quality nor quantity. The number of Americans seeking employment benefits is at a historic high. Meanwhile, Congress has made little progress on a COVID-19 relief package.
Thomas P. Bostick—Lieutenant General (Ret.) Former Chief of Engineers and Commanding General of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
