Autores ResumoI am writing this column in early April, but I am cautiously optimistic that by the time it goes to press in late May, we will be through the worst of the COVID-19 crisis (or at least well on our way to recovery). Hopefully, oil prices also will have rebounded, and life will have returned to normal. More likely, we will be developing a sense of what our “new normal” looks like. I suspect the way we live, work, engage with others, and relax will be changed forever. As I write this, though, nearly all major cities are under some sort of shelter-in-place order, all schools and many businesses are closed, and a large part of our economy is under extreme duress. And as you are painfully aware, oil prices have plummeted in recent weeks due to the combined impacts of a drop in demand, gross oversupply, and the geopolitical landscape.
