1. The jobs “hole” that opened in March & April remains huge.
What we know. People are:

"Going back to “normal” is not a principle. Normal is our nation’s history of racism, bias, & discrimination embedded in our heath, social & economic systems. States have choices: go back to “normal” OR implement anti-racist, equitable, & inclusive policies." - @Cort_Sand
