Congrats Joe!

@xrac I’ll echo what @Joe Marconi said, hope you guys recover and get well soon!

Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas!

@Gundy's welcome to ASO! Any particular forms you are looking for?

Have a great Independence Day everyone!

It's nice to see things starting to come back to some level of normal life! I went to Home Depot and it was busy as usual for this time of year, which was good to see.

Happy Father's Day!

Cuomo's last daily briefing...

Coronavirus has helped streamline video messaging, video conferencing, and just overall the act of watching video on various platforms. Large companies are creating weekly videos to message their employees and customers these days. Some of you may even be doing the something similar, and if not recording and sharing video, maybe at least communicating more through video. I was on linkedin and thought this video posted by @ncautoshop from L&N Performance Auto Repair was worth a share. 😁

Thank you to @CAR_AutoReports for starting a new topic on resource links. Please check it out:

Just saw this online and wanted to share. With the COVID-19 down time some have now, might be of interest. CARQUEST Technical Institute and Worldpac Training Institute are offering free 1 hour online training Monday - Friday, complimentary. See: https://ctionline.com/index.php/live-training-online/ Breaking News: The CTI+WTI teams have worked hard over the past two weeks in creating two new opportunities that will allow you to access live training from the comfort of your home. Click the link below for our announcement that highlights the new CTI+WTI Virtual Classroom and World Professional Automotive Community. The World Professional Automotive Community will deliver business and technical topics every night in one-hour segments starting at 8PM EST. The Community is designed to bring our industry together to learn about timely topics that are affecting everyone during this crisis. The Virtual Classroom will deliver technical topics in one-hour segments, at various times starting this week. The Virtual Classroom has been in the works for a year and will become a regular part of how we deliver our Career Pathway content. More to come on this soon. Click here to see the full announcement To see what is scheduled for both the Community and Virtual Classroom, simply search the ‘Classes Near You’ tile on this home page and search for Virtual Classroom or VC and World Professional or WPAC and you will see a schedule for each event with a registration link to each. Oh, and these events are available at NO CHARGE. Join our new CTI+WTI Members group on Facebook Finally, due to the extended Shelter in Place orders across the country, we have postponed all classroom events through May 1st. We will be converting many of these events to Virtual Classroom events to enable you to continue your training.

We should hopefully see over the next 2-3 weeks if it peaks out or not. There needs to be a vaccine or "official" treatment for things to really calm down.

They say two more weeks until we see a peak....we can only hope.

Great message @Joe Marconi !

Was this recorded for future viewing? If so, can you post a link?

Nice updates @CAR_AutoReports !

Great info @bantar PDF attached for record. EIDL_and_P3_4.3.2020_COB.pdf

Unemployment has surged:

Unemployment has surged:

I've spoken with Mark this week and if anyone is looking for assistance with the application process, you can give Mark a call and have him go through how he can help.

Smart decision to stay in, some people think they are invisible and it won't affect them. Better be safe than sorry in my opinion. I think this week we may see cases spike all over the country adding to the craziness as testing ramps up.

Thanks for sharing @Joe Marconi, good plan! If anyone is looking for Joe's topic, please click here @xrac glad to hear things are still normal by you! Seems that last week things really shot up in terms of closings, panic, and especially in states where there are a large number of reported cases. Here in lower NY, schools are closed next week and the rumor is that they might be closed into April. This coming week may be even more active as numbers start rolling in from more and faster testing, due to the private sector getting in on it; quest, lab corp, etc.
