HOW TO FACE AND COME OUT STRONGER OF THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS
After weeks that practically paralyzed the world, we believe that it is appropriate for GLOBAL FRANCHISE to send you a message of thanks and encouragement for your confidence in these complex moments that we are going through; unthinkable, months ago.
The coronavirus pandemic is leading us to experience an unprecedented situation. It showed the vulnerability of our society, but also, as always, its more committed, supportive and responsible side. We understand and must recognize World's efforts to manage the crisis and its initial decisions. And it's time to stay home, to take care of yourself and our children, adults and ourselves. Nobody is unaware of the effects of this pandemic. And neither do we.
In the past few weeks, virtually every country in the world has been establishing recommendations, restrictions and, finally, prohibitions. Governments try to prevent the epidemic from spreading, and one way to do this is to close the borders and apply a necessary but economically devastating quarantine for the large, medium, small and micro-entrepreneurs, for informal workers and finally for all, without distinction. .
We would like to send a message of confidence. It is the time to demonstrate the capacity for resistance, creativity, show solidarity and contribute to each one within their means, mitigating the adverse effects that this global pandemic is generating inside and outside our borders.
I have lived through many crises that seemed that the world was going to end, such as World Currency Crisis of 1998, World Financial Crisis of 2008, and several others in our country and I believe all of you also. For those who manage to preserve themselves calmly, preserve their companies with measures of restraint and creativity, they will have a great opportunity to emerge strengthened from the crisis and to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that will appear.
We bet that the digital revolution that has been taking place in recent years will accelerate and our way of life will change. It's time to revolutionize your business. We will be more careful, we will live longer and better, and we will want to preserve this planet for our children and grandchildren.
At GLOBAL FRANCHISE, we bet that the franchise, as a model with proven effectiveness, under an entrepreneurial, solidary and associative vision, will have a very important role in the resumption of business and in the reconstruction of the economic and social fabric to be implemented in this interdependent world.
We thank you for your trust, count on us !! And our special recognition also goes to all the people and institutions that are investing all their energy to overcome this situation, especially the health personnel, the security forces and those who continue to work to care for and provide for families; and all our solidarity with those who today suffer in the flesh the attacks of a disease that must be brought down by us all together.
