Support local businesses
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious damage to the United States economy. Although the stay-at-home order was necessary from a health standpoint it caused a major strain on local businesses that now need our help.

Opinion: Use time at home as an opportunity
Everyone is dealing with a variety of life changes, emotions and hardships right now, and it is OK to come out of this COVID-19 pandemic without some great accomplishment that you worked on in all your newfound free time.
