A bit tangential, but I’ve been reading (listening) to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_to_Unfreedom – it’s helping provide so much clarifying perspective to understand what is being done to us and why it is working.

Oh damn. I’m sorry to hear that. Wishing them the best recovery possible and a manageable transition into the new norm.
I do so appreciate the well wishes, and the best part of humanity expressed in your reply. Thank you so much.
