Amid all the talk about \u201copening up the economy,\u201d there\u2019s one big question. How?<\/em><\/p>\n

Imagine you\u2019re the owner of a fitness club. The CoronaCrisis shutdown has nearly destroyed your business, with most of your customers canceling their gym memberships, but you\u2019ve managed to stay afloat. Now you can finally, cautiously open up your club again.<\/p>\n

How?<\/p>\n

Do your customers wear masks on the StairMaster? Do you sanitize every weight machine after every customer uses it? Do you move all the treadmills six feet apart and hope no one coughs?<\/p>\n

As the economy begins cautiously opening up, it\u2019s strange to see pictures of customers in restaurants wearing masks. How do they eat?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAh, yes. The Niner Estates 2018 Cabernet, with a hint of yesterday\u2019s mask. Excellent choice.<\/p><\/div>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve talked about a #NewNormal, but there\u2019s nothing normal about this. Wearing masks is just not part of the experience at Walt Disney World, or a beauty salon, or a football game. And leaving behind the science and the politics, some people are just not going to go outside without a mask.<\/em><\/p>\n

There is high anxiety around COVID-19. Even with protection, people are afraid to leave the house. Even if they\u2019re not afraid, they\u2019re thinking twice.<\/p>\n

Will some<\/em> people come to your gym, or your beauty salon, or your football game? Yes.<\/p>\n

Will some <\/em>people feel safe enough to go without a mask? Yes.<\/p>\n

But how many? <\/em>That\u2019s the $80 trillion question.<\/p>\n

Will eighty percent of your gym members show up? Fifty percent? Twenty percent? The implied reasoning is that if some of your gym members show up, others will too. Then the virus magically goes away, and business bounces \u201cback to normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoping the virus magically goes away is not really a great plan for the future. Fortunately, blockchain provides a better solution<\/strong>. We\u2019ll call it \u201cFastYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Introducing FastYes: A QR Code on Your Phone<\/h2>\n

Before you go in the fitness club, you scan a QR code on your phone, and the scanner turns green. You\u2019re safe<\/em>. Inside the gym, things really are \u201cback to normal.\u201d No masks. No weirdness. Unlike the days before Coronavirus, people are actually diligent about wiping down the equipment.<\/p>\n


\n\"Two
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, it\u2019s a blockchain-based technology that is checking:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Safety: <\/strong>whether you have been tested<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Privacy: <\/strong>without your personal information being revealed<\/p>\n

This is important, especially in America, where safety<\/strong> and privacy<\/strong> are the two great concerns.<\/p>\n


\n\"Safety
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

These two values \u2013 safety<\/strong> and privacy<\/strong> \u2013 must be kept in balance, and FastYes neatly solves for both. Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n
