Hi
I hope you are doing well.
I hope everything in your area is as good as can be expected.
Here in Hawaii, we are on total lock down. All bars, restaurants are closed. Schools, churches and all public gatherings are banned. All visitors and returning residents are on a mandatory 14 day quarantine. Flights are being cancelled. There is a strange vibe all over the Islands.
Pizza Expo was at first postponed until June. Now it has been cancelled for this year. A very good call.
Funny, two weeks ago I was planning to go to Pizza Expo, no questions asked!
My mom called and begged me not to go. "Please, Albert, don't go" she insisted.
"Mom" I said, "don't worry, there are only 1,000 people infected. I'll be fine."
Now there over 100,000 people infected in the USA. My advice to you?
Listen to your mother. Moms sometimes know best!
We do have some heroes who are continuing to help us get through this. They are the doctors, nurses and hospital staff. The police, fireman and EMT's continue to do there part to help us through this. I can't thank them enough! I created a video to thank them for all the work they do. I want to share this with you. And if you like it, please share this email with your friends. I'll put a link below this email.
I know things are difficult all over. It's a new normal. For now we need to stay well, stay strong, and stay home. I continue to stay positive. And I hope you do as well.
Big News:
