Much has changed in the way we conduct our lives over the past several weeks due to the pernicious coronavirus. People are staying home. When leaving our homes for essential services, we are wearing masks and gloves. Many businesses have closed, but those deemed essential are working overtime to provide food and other necessities. Over 100,000 New Hampshire residents are now unemployed.
Meanwhile, hospitals and other health-care providers have postponed elective procedures to prepare for an expected surge in virus cases.
