Hi and welcome to Thursday’s Episode 57 in Season 2 of “My Pandemic Year Natural Experiment” on this 4th day of June in the summer of 2020.
“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”
Season One and Two are a two-year examination of how bits of wisdom changed during the “normal” pre-pandemic and then in this unfolding pandemic year.

Context
How will our pandemic lives play out? Back to our continuing my series drawing upon the report from Deloitte and Salesforce’s “The world remade by COVID-19 Scenarios for resilient leaders | 3-5 years.”
We’re at step four. Assemble the alternatives for each force into internally consistent stories.
Previously we revealed the summary of “The Passing Storm” for which the scenario story tellers assume governments communicate the severity of the pandemic and gets us citizens to take the crisis seriously and go along with the quarantine program.
The good news in this scenario is that the virus’s spread is contained.
-
- No second wave materializes.
- Immunization works leading to prevention.
- The economy, while taking a hit initially rebounds near the end of 2020 and builds once we consumers feel more confident sometime after July 2021.
Today, before visiting each of the four alternatives in greater detail, we profile Scenario Two.
“Good Company”
The COVID-19 pandemic persists past initial projections, placing a growing burden on governments around the world that struggle to handle the crisis alone.
A surge of public-private sector partnerships emerges as companies step up as part of the global solution.
New “pop-up ecosystems” arise as companies across industries partner to respond to critical needs and drive much-needed innovation.
Social media companies, platform companies, and tech giants gain new prestige.
Ultimately, companies shift further toward “stakeholder capitalism,” with a more empathetic stance on to how they can best serve their customers, shareholders, and employees to rebuild after the crisis.
In another positive alternative, we’ll witness the initiative taken by those companies to supply healthcare expertise especially with software and tools.
The Good Company embraces their corporate responsibility by focusing on their long-term enlightened self-interest with investments in their employees and in the communities where they live and work.
Best estimate for the economic cycles?
Recovery begins near the end of the year in 2021, but slows during the first 6 months of 2022, before accelerating in the second half.
Evidence
“5” Steve Zahn, 51: “You know the sensation you get when you look back on old photos and realize that a lot of your concerns back then were needless? Be happy now. Cast worry aside. Trust time. It will handle so much for you.” Scorpio
So, you’re saying they same holds true for Emma the Baroness and me in, say 2022 or 2024? I can verify I have experienced the sensations even more recently looking back on old photos in-between searching for missing jigsaw pieces and binge watching Netflix.
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Today’s Holiday Birthday:
“This year turns up your vitality; lifestyle changes and exciting projects figure in. People you admire find their way into your world. You already have what others need, and you’ll find the niche that allows you to feel a deep sense of contribution and belonging, not to mention the chance to get exactly what you want.
So, clearly this ain’t my birthday, but if it is yours please feel free to soak up the optimism. And, let’s celebrate you by fervently wishing that key elements of “The Passing Storm” and “The Good Company” influence our futures together.
“4” Steve Carrell, 57; Steve Martin, 74; Steve Wozniak, 69: “You’ll revel in your freedom. Being left alone to live as you like without being nagged, judged or subjected to the whims of authority is the perk of adulthood you cherish.” Leo
Haha. Welcome relief for an introvert. Solitude. Ah yes. Even more so now with no one to see and nowhere to go.
“4” Steve Kerr, 54: “You become like the people around you and this is why you’re pretty choosy about whom you allow to the inner circle, or, for that matter, any concentric circle of which you are the center.” Libra
It’s pretty easy for Emma the Baroness and me. Are you a believer in science and medicine or politically-motivated misinformation?
“3” Steve Aoki, 41: “Your cosmic gift of the day is a clear demarcation on the point of diminishing returns. This prevents you from unnecessary work and frees you to focus on what matters most to you.” Sagittarius
I picked this TauBit maybe out of wishful thinking more than anything else — I mean, c’mon, my cosmic gift? Most excellent.
“4” Steve Harvey, 62: “Judges get paid to judge. Why should those who aren’t judges do this for free? You refuse to concern yourself with matters that do not directly concern you. It takes less energy to live and let live.” Capricorn
Yeah, sure. But I see it in even more simple terms — introverts need to budget their energy. We take longer to recharge. Which, in turn, takes away from more imaginative work and creativity.

- Saw the movie, didn’t realize that one of my favorite authors, Michael Connelly — his detective Hieronymus (Harry) Bosch book series and Amazon Prime series — also wrote, “The Lincoln Lawyer” which I just finished. Gotta tell you I can’t not see his lead character (Mickey Haller, Bosch’s half brother) as anyone else but Matthew McConaughey.
