As I write this article (Second half of April 2020), the entire tourism industry is still in shock, denial, and disbelief of what is actually happening in the World and in the United States. We still don't have words to describe this unprecedented situation. I see economic data, projections made by banks, and very serious business analysts, but I have serious doubts about how these projections are made. We don't know when the pandemic will be over. It's too soon to have accurate data reporting on the state of the industry, and most importantly, we have no way of knowing when business and leisure tourism will restart and get back to normal with so many fluctuant parameters. It's in our human nature to make predictions but at this point, I suggest we should acknowledge we know nothing. Such an event never happened before and therefore we have no point of comparison. We just see the staggering human cost in the tourism industry, the lives lost, the courage of security guards, cashiers, hotel front desk attendants, kitchen staff, and all workers working in dangerous conditions with sometimes a lack of personal protective equipment. We see the millions of people have lost their jobs and the ripple effect on their families. So this is a bad situation. How bad? Let's have the honesty to say we have no idea. From a U.S. destination standpoint, at city, county, or state level, how to handle the communications and public relations in a context as novel as this virus?
