In an email to readers, publisher John Feigenbaum writes:

The new coronavirus pandemic is deepening a national digital divide, amplifying gains for businesses that cater to customers online, while businesses reliant on moretraditional models fight for survival.

The process is accelerating shifts already underway in parts of the U.S. economy in ways that could last long after the health crisis has passed, some analysts say.

"What we're in right now is a sudden and extreme version of what had been a much longer, slower-moving trend," said Jed Kolko, chief economist at job site Indeed.

The big question, economists say, is whether the changes created by this sudden, forced experiment will prove permanent after the coronavirus pandemic eases. If so, that couldtransform the U.S. economy and open the way to new types of businesses and providers.

The pandemic is also fueling a shift to e-commerce in corners of the retail universe in which consumers have historically resisted going online, such as beauty products andgroceries.

When No One is There to See the Art

As art memes circulating in the age of coronavirus go, it is more whimsical than ominous. It shows the Mona Lisa, perhaps the most famous painting in the world, edited topresent its subject at ease, reclining with her feet up. Her smile is unmistakably happy rather than enigmatic, and her feet are thrust out of the picture plane and right into ourfaces.

Although the image was created well before the current pandemic, as it bounces around again on Twitter, it seems as if she is having her "first vacation in 500 years," as oneuser captioned it in a tweet.

The Louvre, like museums all around the world, is closed. The humor of the meme is its suggestion that the great, iconic works shuttered therein are letting us know howexhausted they were with our usual attention.
