Vol. 12, #18.0 – March 24th, 2020– ALLAN GOLD’S BLOG
Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic 
By Allan Gold, lawyer, lecturer and author.
OPEN LETTER TO READERS:
Now that I’ve uploaded the last in the series on RRSP, I’m announcing the interruption in the usual blog programming. Starting now, I will be using this space to begin a new series covering Small Business and Elder Law Covid-19 Resources. It won’t be general information. You can get that elsewhere. Instead, building on my areas of practice, it will be a Special Help Guide addressing the real concerns and questions of two specific groups of people affected by the terribly difficult circumstances at present. This series will be two-fold as follows:
- Small Business Law: It’s for the family business owners in dealing with (and trying to survive) this catastrophic commercial upheaval.
- Elder Law: During this global health crisis, it’s for spouses, adult children and close family/friends, etc., who are looking out for the welfare of aged parents and/or elderly loved ones, be they to be in a senior/care facility or restrained from leaving their homes.
I hope to upload a new edition each week. In each of these future blogs, I plan to:
- Provide readers a selection of relevant headlines together with, where need be, short commentaries by me;
- Enumerate programs, governmental or otherwise, (targeting small independent business, caregivers, etc.), where possible delineating coverage, eligibility, means of applications, etc.
- Include (as they become available) applicable tel. numbers-sites of governments, institutions, community, etc. that readers might use as resources to obtain further help and/or information,
- Offer some suggestions as to how one can better navigate these very rough seas.
- Etc.
There is a huge need out there. We’re all in this together. I want to do my part. This is a first step. At present, I’m working on a project to do even more. I hope to make an announcement about this very soon. Of course, I’m interested in hearing from you. Let’s go!*

Needed to compose you the little bit of word so as to say thanks a lot yet again considering the splendid principles you have featured on this website. It is extremely generous of you to convey freely just what a lot of people would have sold as an e book to make some bucks for themselves, specifically considering the fact that you might well have done it in the event you desired. Those strategies also served like the easy way to realize that other individuals have a similar fervor the same as mine to know a whole lot more with reference to this issue. I believe there are several more pleasurable times ahead for those who see your blog.
Hello-you are very welcome! Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I appreciate the feedback. Yes, there is a lot of content on the Internet, much of it for sale. Since I’ve had many blessings over the years in career and business, I have tried to give back wherever possible. We are all confronted by the perils of the Covid-19 crisis.
But I have found that there is a dearth of How-To information for those trying to overcome the challenges being faced with the pandemic. You see, I’m intent on helping and being part of the solution. Like you, I want business people not only to survive, but also to succeed. And this takes sound strategies and proper techniques.And that’s why I do what I do. But do you personally have any specific concerns or areas of particular interest? Of course, I would love to hear from you again. Be well, Pleases stay safe.
Yours;
Allan J. Gold.
