While the job losses are undoubtedly painful and won't be good in the short-term, there are long-term ramifications that may come from this. Similar to what we saw in the dotcom years with internet cabling, companies paid a pretty penny to lay cable, resulting in high prices for data transmission. The dotcom crash bankrupted many of those companies, which allowed for their assets to be purchased well below the cost of laying all that cable, which meant much lower cost data transmission in the years following the crash - horrible for the equity and debt holders as well as employees of those bankrupt companies, but great for data users. <br><br>The future of the hotel industry will likely see more consolidation as the bigger players have a better chance of survival thanks to their greater access to funds. They may be able to pick up an unprecedented quantity of properties at prices well below the cost to build. This could usher in an era of lower prices for hotel stays, welcome news for a world weary of being locked in, and a tailwind for larger hoteliers that survive these tough times. <br><br>As for those industries that are not facing imminent disaster thanks to Covid-19, they must navigate the complexity of work logistics at a time when it is unwise to have employees physically working in close proximity.

Those companies and individuals who are able to help with this transition have a chance to thrive at a time when many are struggling just to survive. <br>• <b>Okta (OKTA)</b> is a constituent in the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200925021128/https://s1981692173.t.en25.com/e/er?s=1981692173&lid=10827&elqTrackId=8474ac86a4ec4b38bdb86158609ea07c&elq=00000000000000000000000000000000&elqaid=3076&elqat=2" title="Foxberry Tematica Research Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Index" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(0, 148, 197); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline;"><span class="firstedited edited" style="color:rgb(0, 148, 197);">Foxberry Tematica Research Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Index</span></a>. <br> </td></tr></table></td> </tr> <!-- row padding bottom --> </table> </td> <!-- row padding right --> <!-- bg image end --> </tr> </table> <!-- bg image multi end --></td></tr><tr><td valign="top"><!-- bg image multi begin --> <table bgcolor="#ebebeb" width="600" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" style="margin:0 auto; width:600px; mso-cellspacing: 0px; mso-padding-alt: 0px 0px 0px 0px;"> <!-- dt-row --> <tr class="remove-row-border"> <!-- bg image begin --> <!-- row padding left --> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#ebebeb"> <!-- anchor tag --> <table bgcolor="#ebebeb" width="600" height="1172" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" style="margin:0 auto; width:600px; height:1172px; mso-cellspacing: 0px; mso-padding-alt: 0px 0px 0px 0px;"> <!-- dt-wrapper --> <!-- row padding top --> <tr> <td class="both6_1_0"> <table style="width:100%; mso-cellspacing: 0px; mso-padding-alt: 0px 0px 0px 0px;" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" style="padding-top:37px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:37px;padding-right:100px;"> <table width="24" style="mso-cellspacing: 0px; mso-padding-alt: 0px 0px 0px 0px;" class="hrTable" align="start" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td class="hr" valign="top" align="start"> <div style="margin:0;display:block;border-top: 1.5px solid rgb(99, 167, 11); font-size:1px;line-height:1px;"> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td></tr><tr><td class="both6_1_1mob_margin"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tr><td class="both6_1_1" height="19" valign="top" style="font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:16px;color: rgb(0, 147, 188);letter-spacing:2px;line-height:20px;text-align:start;padding-bottom:22px;padding-left:37px;padding-right:100px;"> CHART OF THE WEEK: Herd Immunity at Risk </td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td class="both6_1_2mob_margin"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tr><td class="both6_1_2img100m" height="801" valign="top" style="font-size:;line-height:;text-align:start;padding-left:25px;padding-right:25px;"> <table style="margin: 0 auto; mso-cellspacing: 0px; mso-padding-alt: 0px 0px 0px 0px;" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td class="mobile-height-auto" valign="top" style="margin: 0 auto; border:1.5px solid rgb(23, 23, 23);"><img class="img100m" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20200925021128im_/https://img04.en25.com/EloquaImages/clients/GIS/%7Bf0e920e2-6250-4004-b401-15cc7dae546b%7D_chart_of_week_9.23.20.png" style="margin: 0 auto; display: block;" width="548" height="798"></td></tr></table> </td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td class="both6_1_3mob_margin"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tr> <td class="both6_1_3" height="224" valign="top" style="font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;color: rgb(23, 23, 23);line-height:23px;text-align:start;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:37px;padding-left:37px;padding-right:37px;"> In a new <span class="firstedited edited" style="color:rgb(23, 23, 23);"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200925021128/https://s1981692173.t.en25.com/e/er?s=1981692173&lid=10826&elqTrackId=4a4f1158aed24655a8e190516e2af596&elq=00000000000000000000000000000000&elqaid=3076&elqat=2" title="Pew Research study" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(0, 148, 197); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: underline;"><span class="firstedited edited" style="color:rgb(0, 148, 197);">Pew Research study</span></a></span>, just 51% of U.S. adults surveyed said they would definitely or probably get vaccinated for the coronavirus, while 49% said they would not.
