Nilo Hernandez, Jr., DDS, DICOI, best-selling co-author of the book, The Will To Win, with Brian Tracy, and owner of the SmileCreator of Naples, extends wishes for a happier, healthier New Year in light of the continuation of the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Naples, FL, January 02, 2020: Owner and CEO of Smilecreator of Naples, Dr. Nilo Hernandez, Jr., DDS, has posted a new blog on his website entitled, “The Year The World Stood Still.” Dr. Hernandez launches into his year-end blog with a look back to a 1951 film.

Dr. Hernandez informs his readers that, “Back in 1951 there was a movie called The Day The Earth Stood Still. Science fiction back in the 50’s,” he adds, “considered the earth coming to a standstill for one day as a very out-there idea. But here we are in 2020 and the world came to a complete standstill not just for a day but for months.”

“Even when shelter-in-place orders were first issued,” Dr. Hernandez says, “I have to admit, I thought it might last for a few days or a week at most. Nearly a full year later we are still experiencing massive unemployment, business shutdowns, social distancing, the quarantining, the travel moratorium and people are still getting the COVID-19 virus.”

Dr. Hernandez states, “I also admit, I too am getting a bit weary.  I will not however, let the weariness win. I am grateful that I am still in business and that my patients are doing their very best to keep up with their oral health check-ups and procedures. On an even brighter note,” he continues, “life continues to unfold. There are new babies being born, lovers getting married even though they can’t have the big splashy weddings. I see closeness being born amid families who once were too busy for each other. We have an opportunity to get reacquainted with our spouses, our children, our dearest friends. We have been forced to slow down.”
