I work at the hotel for a very large company in an affluent part of the Florida panhandle. The week after St. Patrick’s Day I got a call on my day off saying, “We are being told to shut down by the Government, so we are shutting down and we don’t know when we are reopening.”
If the global COVID-19 pandemic was a test, then the United States is failing it. We are in the middle of a historic health crisis and are walking off the edge of an economic cliff; yet, much of America carries on as if life were normal. Fuconomy’s goal is to bring the struggles of the pandemic into focus by curating stories from the people most affected by it. We provide a safe space for people to share their experiences and offer their support during these unprecedented times. The pandemic and its impact have proven to be too complex for any single lens. Our philosophy is to create a new collaborative way to tell the broader story so we can all understand it and our nation better.
