As you would expect, magazine columns are written well in advance of publication. Here I am writing the column for our May issue in early April, and we are in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis as well as an impending, potentially severe economic crunch resulting from the overall response. Arizona was just put in “Stay at Home” mode until April 30. We can only hope the response will place the worst of this in our rearview mirror sooner rather than later. Most will pull together to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Rather than go on about this terrible situation (there is no shortage of commentary), I will turn my thoughts to ABS preparedness and its positioning in the overall scheme of things, attempting to answer questions you may have on your mind.
