This Week in Digital - May 2020

Welcome to a new month, where quarantine is the new normal. As the world seeks to flatten the curve of coronavirus, people have been laid off, furloughed, or their own businesses have shut down. It’s hard to say anything that will comfort us. All we can say is that we truly love small businesses and want to see everyone win. COVID-19 is temporary. We’re going to get through this!
