We are now in the eye of the COVID-19 storm – a black swan apocalypse. Life as we know it is upside down, people are hurting, businesses are hurting, the future is uncertain. As our first priority we are following all protocols and taking all measures to protect our employees, our tenants and our communities. We pray for the health and safety of all and we commend and admire the talent and courage of our healthcare providers. Vornado is in a strong position to weather the storm and we will continue to do our part to help mitigate the impact.
